By Jeremy Williams “Throughout history,” writes John Vidal, “advances in civilisation – agriculture, domestication, urbanisation and globalisation – have all been accompanied by increasing disease risk. But never before has the human population been so large, so hyper-connected and living at such high densities. We are now approaching a storm of spiralling disease risk.” That’s the argument made at the […]
By James Arnott and Shannon Stirone Recent research shows that the unfolding crises in climate change and social isolation may actually be connected.

Solar panels on the roof of a building in Gaza. By Anders Lorenzen This article is not going into nor is it taking sides in the rapidly and tragic escalating conflict in Israel and Palestine. Both Gaza and the West Bank, the Palestine territories, are incredibly energy-poor and have no energy production and thus rely 100% on energy imports. What […]
First aid kits typically contain single-use, disposable medical supplies that inevitably end up in landfills for several reasons, including sanitation, ease of use, and efficiency in emergencies. New materials and the latest packaging can reduce the environmental impact of your emergency medical cupboard. Single-use items like antiseptic wipes, adhesive bandages, and gauze pads are individually packaged to maintain a sterile […]

The study reveals that air temperatures as low as 34 °C can lead to a […]

Simple breathing and meditation techniques can promote physical and mental well-being, allowing us to live more fulfilling lives. This can also help reduce our reliance on medications, which can have harmful side […]
As we’ve all paid a lot more attention to avoiding illness the past couple of years, we’ve also had to think about some new kinds of waste. We’re figuring out how to recycle disposable masks and properly dispose of cloth masks to avoid PPE pollution. We worry whether all those little plastic bottles of hand sanitizer will end up polluting […]

Unfortunately, as cold and flu season arrives, another new COVID variant is sweeping the world. We urge everyone to follow the CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of coronavirus. The coronavirus continues to spread throughout the world, with more […]
