We then suggest that many of the most attractive technological solutions to climate change, such as solar energy and electric car batteries, will likely add to the rapidly growing stream of electronic waste ("e-waste"). This e-waste may have negative downstream effects on otherwise ...
As individuals, we have a responsibility to protect the environment by reducing waste, conserving resources, and supporting sustainable practices. Possible solutions to environmental problems include recycling, using renewable energy, and promoting eco-friendly policies. It is through collective action and ...
According to Jambeck et al. (2015), at least eight million tons of plastics leak into the oceans every year. There is over 150 million tons of plastic waste in the oceans today, and without significant intervention, there could be more plastic than fish in the seas, by weight, by 2050...

Presently, the plastic production and the resulting waste accumulates faster than the steps taken towards innovative solutions to help reduce it and to improve the environmental status. Moreover, it was estimated that ...
Water scarcity occurs when there are insufficient freshwater resources to meet the human and environmental demands of a certain area. Given the challenges of population growth, profligate use, growing pollution, and global warming, many countries and maj
While we acknowledge the influence of demand-side climate solutions such as diet change, shifts to longer-lived wood products, reduced food waste, or biofuel usage, it is beyond the scope of this paper to trace these supply and demand-side interactions for each NCS Pathway. IPCC refers to ...
The most feasible solutions to these problems are (1) replacing the use of groundwater with artificially recharged and stored treated wastewater in aquifers; (2) reverse osmosis treated groundwaterfor urban and irrigation use at an appropriateprice; and (3) eliminating the over-use of brackish ...
