-(Natural News) The dangers of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) found in plenty of everyday products like plastic, perfume, and even some foods are not something a lot of people are aware of. These chemicals share similar structures with natural hormones like estrogen and androgen. This factor allows them to interfere with reproduction, development, and immune system […]

-(Natural News) When it comes to bringing back plants and wildlife to the barren wasteland of strip mines throughout Central Appalachia, conservationists have recently tried out a different approach. They built their environmental restoration program around Rocky Mountain elk that recently returned to their old stomping grounds. Large populations of elk used to live in […]

-(Natural News) Swedish researchers are keen on recovering as many resources as possible from waste products. One of their latest research projects promises to come up with a way to free useful chemical compounds from biological waste. In this context, biological waste refers to unwanted organic waste products from the agricultural and food industries, such […]

-(Natural News) Our planet is drowning in plastic and the pollution it causes. This once useful material is now literally everywhere, surrounding us at work, in our homes, at school and at parks, lakes and beaches. Nobody could have predicted when Leo Baekeland created the world’s first fully synthetic resin-based plastic product back in 1907 […]

-(Natural News) The water crisis that struck Toledo in 2014 spurred local researchers to look for ways to protect drinking water supplies from microcystin contamination. Using natural bacteria that live Lake Erie, they developed a biofilter that destroys the toxic contaminant produced by algal blooms. Supported by the University of Toledo (UT) and led by Dr. Jason Huntley, the study identified 13 different species […]

-(Natural News) Researchers have discovered that fish living in damaged coral reefs have an alternative source of sustenance aside from the reefs where they live. An Australian study recently found that ocean currents haul in considerable amounts of food to reef structures; enough to keep the remaining population fed. A healthy coral reef produces large amounts […]

-(Natural News) Conservation agriculture (CA) practices are adaptable and can be customized to the requirements of crops and local conditions. While this farming system considers soil health and the impact it has on the ecosystem, it is not without its disadvantages. The early days of CA implementation may present various problems, such as nitrogen immobilization and […]

-(Natural News) Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Lowell developed a safer and more efficient way to power electric cars. The scientists said that this method will allow electric vehicles of all sizes to run longer with zero emissions. Using water, carbon dioxide, and cobalt, this innovation can produce hydrogen gas on-demand at a relatively […]

-(Natural News) Plastic waste is one of the leading causes of environmental problems today. While everyone’s looking for ways to solve this looming crisis, researchers from Yale University suggest using a mushroom that feasts on plastic. In their study, which appeared in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, the team said that Pestalotiopsis microspora can not only live off polyurethane – a compound […]

-(Natural News) Single-use plastics cause plastic pollution, a problem that affects rivers, lakes, and oceans. To address this concern, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed a recycling process that turns various materials made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into other useful products that will last longer. NREL’s research was published in the journal Joule. […]
