Jute Production In Bangladesh 2025
July 23, 2025, Ghior, Manikganj, Bangladesh: In the Ghior Bazaar of Manikganj district, a laborer is carrying a 50-kilogram load of jute on his head. Workers earn only 20 cents for each load they carry, which is an extremely insufficient amount considering the hard labour involved. Bangladesh is the second-largest jute-producing country in the world. Jute is a completely eco-friendly, sustainable, and biodegradable product. With its golden and silky texture, this natural fiber is often referred to as the ''Golden Fiber. (Credit Image: © Syed Mahabubul Kader/ZUMA Press Wire (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

The Iberian Wolf Is Once Again In Danger In Spain.
June 22, 2025, Madrid, Spain: At the request of the Popular Party (PP), the Spanish Senate has reduced protections for the Iberian wolf along the northern banks of the Duero River, which will lead to sport hunting in endangered populations. Conservation organizations and left-wing parties have mobilized in Madrid to demand protection for the species. (Credit Image: © Ignacio Lopez Isasmendi/ZUMA Press Wire (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

How ecotourism helped a small Colombian town recover from war.
Since the 2016 peace treaty, Mesetas has embraced its natural assets and visitors have flocked to enjoy the regionÕs unique biodiversity. But the threat of violence is never far away.
Once a hotspot of violence, Mesetas is a growing ecotourism destination, with visitors drawn by its waterfalls, rainforest and rich wildlife.

Compostable paper battery for a greener future
Picture MUST credit: Flint Co. A paper battery has been developed that does away with precious metals and is compostable. The batteries are flexible and can be made into any shape. They are made of water-based electrolytes, an anode, a cathode, and a separator. All the materials are packed in a vacuum-sealed casing. At the end of their lifecycle, users can recycle parts of the batteries or use them for composting. The Singapore-based startup behind them says that composting starts by removing the vacuum-sealed casing and exposing the parts to natural elements like sunlight, rain, and soil. These environmental factors trigger the degradation until the compostable paper batteries break down into harmless components. A Flint spokesperson said the paper batteries have a longer lifespan than traditional batteries because they’re rechargeable and use safe chemistry. During testing, the research team is able to power a fan even if the compostable paper batteries are cut in half, providing electricity to the fan without a single spark or temperature rise. The batteries do not contain the metals lithium, cobalt, and nickel, unlike traditional batteries. Picture supplied by JLPPA via Bestimage

Upcycling a black cab or bin lorry: growing industry converts old vehicles to electric
Entrepreneurs are replacing petrol and diesel engines on buses, boats and even planes - and say the impact is not only environmental.
The boxy black vehicle is a familiar sight on London's streets, but with a very different feel. After being retrofitted by a startup, Clipper Automotive, it has the smooth and near silent acceleration of an electric motor, replacing the previous juddering diesel engine. The taxi is part of a small but growing industry replacing polluting fossil fuel engines with much cleaner electric power.
