The difference between "Yang Min Community" and other communities is that they will make best use of what they have recycled to fully embrace the value of low carbon living. They put the gathered food waste into a food waste processer installed on the rooftop and turn them into liquid fertilizer for the plants grown on the rooftop.
Renewable energy company Low Carbon said on Tuesday it had secured the necessary funding for a 385 megawatt (MW) portfolio of solar and battery storage projects in Britain, enabling it to begin ...
It is possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by enough to contain global warming to two degrees Celsius, but only if all major regions and sectors take ambitious action within the next few years. This 2010 report builds on our first global study published in January 2007 and subsequent national studies. It includes an updated …
