War is Destroying Our Planet
Environmental damage and wars exist in a positive feedback loop. As resources dwindle, more conflicts emerge. As conflicts take place, more natural resources are rendered useless. With each cycle, the limited availability of resources and the frequency of war push more towards extremes.

It is the best moisturizer this summer! ? AD
This masked summer is a nightmare for grease and sensitive muscles! Originally, the greasy skin usually loves to produce oil on the face, coupled with wearing the mask for a long time will make the heat inside the mask slightly higher than the outside, while the rise in temperature will affect the secretion of sebum and refuel the facial oil. At the end of the day, I felt that I could reasonably recycle the oil on my face for cooking.

Where is the endless food? the circular economy has a bright future!
In today's linear food system of "take it and throw it away", most valuable nutrients face the misfortune of entering rivers, landfills, incinerators or open-air garbage dumps, and less than 2% of the resources are used effectively. This not only endangers public health and increases carbon emissions, but also directly results in a cost loss of 5.7 trillion dollars a year.

Report | World Economic Forum released major development trend: aim at circular consumption, there will be no more garbage in the future
"in order to feed and clothe ourselves in the way we live in the 21st century, we have overconsumed at least 56% of the biological carrying capacity of the earth." This is a sentence in the Earth Vitality report (Living Planet Report) jointly prepared by the Zoological Society of London and the World wide Fund for Nature in 2020. A large number of shocking data reveal that the relationship between human beings and ecosystems is fraught with problems. The relationship between human beings and the ecosystem has been fundamentally unbalanced.

Chemical cycle: will it be a "panacea" for the disposal of waste plastics?
Zhu Xingxiang, president of the China Circular economy Association, has exposed the cruel truth of plastic recycling: only 9 per cent of the world's 9 billion tons of plastic products are recycled. Most plastics end up in landfills or incinerators. Compared with the recycling rate of waste paper and scrap steel, the recycling proportion of plastics in China is astonishingly low. All kinds of plastics in life are thrown into roadside trash bins and mixed with metal and waste paper, but most of the metal and waste paper can be recycled, and most plastic waste can only go to landfills. We are in urgent need of effective recycling methods to deal with waste plastics.

Microplastics found in human lungs
Plastic is ubiquitous in social life, and most of the plastic waste is buried in garbage dumps and natural environments. Plastic waste will be broken down into submillimeter fragments, that is, microplastics (Microplastics). The mass production and consumption of plastics in the world, inadequate treatment of plastics, slow degradation of plastics and other reasons lead to the widespread and long-term existence of microplastics in the environment. The potential impact of microplastics on the environment and human health has aroused increasing concern.

Global climate footprint of the health care industry
1.1 The health sector, with the mission of protecting and promoting health, has made a "significant contribution" to the climate crisis, the greatest health threat of the 21st century, and therefore has an important role to play in addressing the climate crisis. The climate footprint of the health care industry is equivalent to 4.4 per cent of global net emissions (2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide), equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions of 514 coal-fired power plants. If the global health care industry were counted as a country, it would be the fifth largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world.
