Safe Ways to Reuse “Greywater”

As more parts of the world face drought, reusing water in safe ways makes sense. One of these ways is to reuse "greywater" – water that has been used once in showers, bathroom sinks and showers. The Soil Science Society of America's (SSSA) March 1st Soils Matter blog reviews how greywater systems work in yards.

New Report Examines the Impacts of Climate Change on Nature and People

Human-induced climate change is causing dangerous and widespread disruption in nature and affecting the lives of billions of people around the world, despite efforts to reduce the risks. People and ecosystems least able to cope are being hardest hit, according to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, released today.

Research Could Contribute to the Decarbonization of Thermal Energy in Future

Around 90% of the world's energy use is linked to the generation or manipulation of thermal energy (heat). This typically involves fossil fuels, such as coal, oil or gas, which are some of the major contributors to carbon emissions and climate change. Finding ways to decarbonise heat supplies is crucial if we want to make energy sustainable.

Urgent Action Needed to Prevent Severe Impacts of Climate Change on Food Systems

Climate change is mounting widespread disruption on the planet -; with the most marginalized people and vulnerable places the hardest hit -; while severe, irreversible changes are still to come if the world does not do enough to curb warming and spark resiliency. That's according to the latest United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released on Monday.

New Technology Automatically Adjusts a Home’s Power Use in Response to Fluctuating Prices

The impacts of climate change are pushing electrical grids around the world to their limits. Last year, an unprecedented polar vortex caused consumers in Texas to crank up their thermostats and overwhelm the power grid, resulting in days-long power outages. And in California, power is preemptively shut off during high fire-risk weather conditions.
