Things Worth Noting
Electric cars offer zero tailpipe emissions, making them cleaner than gas vehicles over their lifetime, but they come with significant hidden environmental costs. Battery production and mining for lithium, cobalt, and other minerals create high upfront emissions—often 30% more than gas cars initially—along with water pollution, habitat loss, and ethical issues like child labor in […]
Synthetic leggings, made from petroleum-based plastics, pose serious health and environmental risks. They often contain endocrine disruptors like BPA, PFAS, and phthalates that leach into skin through sweat, potentially causing hormone disruption, reproductive issues, immune problems, and inflammation. Washing them releases millions of microplastics that pollute oceans and enter the food chain. In 2026, safer […]
A sustainable transportation ecosystem aims to cut emissions, reduce car dependence, and ensure everyone can access clean, affordable mobility. It links zero-emission vehicles, renewable energy, smart grids, and multimodal networks like public transit, shared mobility, and micromobility. Circular manufacturing, battery recycling, and resilient infrastructure help lower waste and resource use. Community engagement and inclusive design […]
The sneaker market has shifted from a hype-fueled boom to a significant downturn, especially in resale, with oversupply and market saturation slashing profit margins from 100% highs to 10-25%.
