(Natural News) In 2008, a winery in Napa Valley, California set up the first floating solar array in the world. The idea of floating solar panels became popular in Asia, but it only gained traction in the U. S. in recent years. Experts believe that floating solar arrays on artificial bodies of water might produce more than 400 […]

(Natural News) The amount of livestock in the U.S. has spiked in recent years, yet the number of farms has gotten smaller. In 2015, only four companies were responsible for 85 percent of the country’s beef-packing industry. This is part of a trend known as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO), where animals like chickens, pigs […]

(Natural News) Are human beings really planetary parasites like Leftists often claim? Not according to new research presented at the recent annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C. After compiling and comparing a consortium of data from both pre-industrial and modern societies, experts learned that humans have long […]

(Natural News) Mussels often end up getting contaminated by the vast amount of microplastics that pollute the oceans. A new study showed that the animals successfully expel most of the tiny plastic fibers from their bodies. Microplastics are present in every part of the world’s oceans, even remote areas that are thousands of miles away from the nearest human presence. […]

(Natural News) Chinese researchers debuted a new photocatalytic disinfectant for eliminating pathogenic microorganisms in water. Made from incredibly thin sheets of graphitic carbon nitride and powered by light instead of electricity, the new disinfectant offered an environment-friendly approach to water purification. In trials, it reportedly purified samples of heavily-contaminated water in just half an hour.  It also killed nearly […]

(Natural News) Air and water pollution rightfully get a lot of attention. The danger is serious, and everyone can easily grasp the ramifications of toxins in something that all of us use directly every day. However, the issue of soil contamination carries equal weight, even if its effects aren’t as immediately obvious. Even if you […]

(Natural News) A recent study supported by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research found that mung beans (Vigna radiata) could be used to improve crop yield in certain crop rotation systems. This finding, which appeared in the Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science, revealed that the legume, when used as a soil amendment, can boost soil organic carbon levels […]

(Natural News) There’s a worldwide health emergency currently in progress, and it has absolutely nothing to do with global warming, climate change, measles, or “anti-vaxxers.” It’s actually an emergency stemming from the existence of Big Pharma, whose prolific and persistent antibiotic drugs are now being detected at dangerously high levels in rivers, streams, and lakes […]

(Natural News) An intra-European research team is hard at work designing the newest iteration of “electronic noses.” The final version of their gas sensor will be sensitive enough to detect minute traces of industrial air pollutants in the environment. INITIO is an international research project of the European Union’s Horizon2020 FET-OPEN. Supported by the European Commission with […]

(Natural News) Light is generally considered to be a good thing, and with good reason: Life could not exist without it. Almost all energy used by the multitude of life forms is derived from the sun. Light is necessary for photosynthesis in plants and algae, and without it, the entire planet would be cold, dark […]
