(Natural News) With Big Solar on the rise, experts fear that the world could be facing a solar panel waste problem. In 2019 alone, solar panel producers worldwide installed a whopping 114.9 gigawatts (GW) of new solar power, according to a recent report from the Paris-based organization International Energy Agency (IEA). This figure corresponds to a 12 percent increase […]

(Natural News) Plastic pollution is a global threat, killing animals and choking thousands of landfills. The plastic crisis also poses a significant threat to human health in the form of microplastics and toxic chemicals from plastics. But despite the numerous studies on plastic pollution and its far-reaching impact on the entire planet, there is still so much […]

(Natural News) Some 500 drinking water wells across California, which serve about nine million residents, are contaminated with toxic substances, dubbed “forever chemicals,” according to a recent report from The Big Wobble. While that figure might appear small, research shows that contaminants in the water can accumulate inside bodies, interrupting important biological processes and triggering the onset […]

(Natural News) With historic wildfires still blazing through the West Coast, smoke continues to clog the air and tinge the skies with eerie reds and oranges. In some regions of California, air pollution levels are now more than twice what the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers “hazardous,” according to The Daily Mail. In particular, certain regions […]

(Natural News) The Earth’s oceans could be soaking up double the amount of carbon dioxide that current climate models have predicted. In a major breakthrough, English and German researchers found a higher net flux of carbon into the oceans than previous estimates after accounting for small differences in surface and near-surface ocean temperatures. The researchers think […]

(Natural News) Puyallup Police arrested a man Wednesday after he had allegedly started a fire in the median of State Route (SR) 167 just outside of Tacoma, according to a recent report from KING 5. The suspect, identified as longtime BLM rioter Jeffrey Acord, claimed he had nothing to do with the fire, which had burned […]

The fires, which started last month due to unusual lightning storms, have been raging out of control from Southern California, through […]

(Natural News) Previous research has implicated polluted air in cities and urban areas in the risk of stroke. But in a major breakthrough, a team of scientists from Spain and the U.S. found that traffic noise might be just as bad. Their findings, published in the journal Environmental Research, indicated that in an urban setting, a lack of […]

(Natural News) Scientists are still unsure about the health risks that microplastic ingestion poses to human health. But that’s starting to change thanks to recent studies. In a major breakthrough, researchers from the German Environment Agency (UBA) and the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) found that 97 percent of the blood and urine samples of some 2,500 children […]

(Natural News) Noted for their ability to be molded and used for different purposes, plastics are some of the world’s most versatile materials. However, they are also considered to be among the most dangerous – especially for the environment. In fact, according to previous estimates by experts, there would be more plastic than fish in […]
