Now that more facilities such as schools, restaurants, office buildings, and healthcare settings are selecting engineered water or no-chemical cleaning systems such as aqueous ozone, it is becoming clear that custodial workers often have questions about them, including why they are being adopted in the first place.
With a new 7.5-megawatt (MW) solar energy farm located on the city's former Tequesquite Landfill now operational, Riverside's total solar generation has soared past the 20-MW mark – five years ahead of schedule.
A tropical paradise on the surface, the coral reefs under the tiny island nation’s azure waves are actually a laboratory unlike anywhere else on the planet. The seemingly placid environment features some truly extreme conditions—an evolutionary crucible that has produced creatures with traits that rival the best of human ingenuity. Sweeney’s job is to understand how they got that way and why.
Northrop Grumman Corporation announced that its Palmdale Aircraft Integration Center of Excellence (PAI CoE), within its Aerospace Systems sector, received the Silver level Zero Waste certification from the U.S. Zero Waste Business Council (USZWBC).

Mismanagement of discarded electronics within Europe involves a volume 10 times that of e-waste shipped to foreign shores in undocumented exports, according to a comprehensive 2-year investigation into the functioning of the used and waste electronics market.
Summertime is waning, and that means the end of backyard barbecues is almost upon us. That also means an end to dousing charcoal briquettes with lighter fluid. Reducing the use of lighter fluid might not be a bad thing, as many of those products are made from crude oil and emit potentially harmful compounds when lit. Now, researchers report in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering that they developed a waste-paper-based, environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative.
Virginia Commonwealth University Parking and Transportation has converted 70 percent of its RamSafe fleet to operate on liquid propane bi-fuel through a partnership with the Virginia Department of General Services; the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy; Alliance AutoGas and Virginia Clean Cities.
