Coral Bleaching : Threats to our Reefs

 

Climate change can affect various forms of lives, including our magnificent coral reefs too. 

Oceans absorb 93% of heat of global warming. When this happens, corals can overheat. They react to the stress. Thus, coral bleaching is caused.

In a couple of years, we will lose all the pretty reefs we have right now. Right now, as you read this post, coral reefs are dying worldwide.

Fast Fashion: How Are They Bad?

Defining Fast Fashion If you go to large malls, and look to your left and right, you see shops like Zara, or H&M. But these companies sell items made specifically for trends. Now, when you make, say, a pair of jeans, obviously the taste changes in time and you will have to move onto something more trendy and classy for another short notice of time.  Now this, is the definition of fast fashion. These items are produced cheaply, and what's more, they go out of trend easily. Don't agree? Just compare the clothing trends of 2000 and the current trend.

-An Introduction to Packaging Waste Every day, hundreds of millions of single-use cutlery, bowls, trays, cans, bottles and plates are tossed away into an endless sea of garbage: landfills, where they begin a life of polluting natural resources and choking life. Single-use materials, such as plastic, leak chemicals into the soil, and the nearby water bodies absorb its toxins, causing an environmental hazard, which comes back to taunt human life with poisoned seafood and water unfit for consumption and irrigation, along with infertile soil. Solutions for sustainable and biodegradable packaging have been developed, but they are often far out of reach, as most companies and developers are in the testing stage and have not yet gained access for product distribution. Common people who do not have access to high-end laboratories are often unable to try their hand to make their own environment- friendly bowls and spoons.

Reimagining Food Waste: A Story of Croutons

Image
 From the era of global warming, we have been putting our efforts into seamlessly blending the 5rs with our daily lives. From recycling metal to reducing plastic to reusing bottles, our technology and creativity have no limits. Just like we reuse plastic bottles, food can be reused to avoid food waste. Introducing to you... the story of the crouton! The crouton is a hard, crunchy and savoury bread,  which can be served fried, grilled or baked, and is story of reusing in itself. The crouton lives as the legacy of stale bread: saving bread that otherwise might be thrown. Croutons also last longer than regular bread, giving us more time to consume it, and reducing food waste. Croutons can also be be powdered to make breadcrumbs, which are used in a variety of dishes. Just like reimagining bread to become a new snack, innovation and creativity can pair up to produce amazing results. It is upto us to take advantage of the technology we have at hand to reimagine, recreate and innova...
