Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Soil degradation, a critical yet often overlooked factor in the climate change narrative, has profound implications for our planet’s health and sustainability. Healthy soils are vital for carbon sequestration, acting as significant carbon sinks that absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it underground. This natural process […]
Climate change, a global issue that is primarily driven by the burning of fossil fuels, is causing a progressive increase in the frequency, duration, and severity of heatwaves. This dramatic shift in weather patterns is particularly noticeable in the Western regions of the world. Although there may be occasional cool days and heavy snow, the […]
Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Mangroves, the coastal guardians of our planet, are remarkable ecosystems that play a crucial role in mitigating climate change. These unique trees and shrubs thrive in saline coastal environments, forming dense forests along tropical and subtropical shorelines. Mangroves are often referred to as “blue carbon” ecosystems because of their […]

Today’s Climate Change Poster Collection highlights Melting Ice Caps. The melting of the polar ice caps is one of the most visible and alarming indicators of climate change, a phenomenon that has far-reaching consequences for our planet. The Earth’s polar regions, particularly the Arctic and Antarctic, are experiencing unprecedented rates of ice melt due to […]
A recent study by the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center has suggested a unique approach to cancer treatment that could help in mitigating the environmental impact associated with it. The researchers have proposed that altering the frequency of the cancer treatment, pembrolizumab, could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Pembrolizumab, also known as Keytruda, […]
Global packaging and paper company Mondi has recently conducted a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for its innovative packaging solution, Hug&Hold, to evaluate its environmental impacts compared to traditional plastic shrink wrap. Hug&Hold, which is designed as a recyclable alternative to plastic shrink wrap for PET bottle packs, features a kraft paper sleeve and a corrugated […]
In a recent study conducted by researchers from Maine’s Colby College and Good Energy, it was found that Hollywood blockbusters may be falling short when it comes to addressing the current climate crisis.
