It could become one of the wonders of the world. Launched in 2012, the Great Green Wall is made of vegetation and extends over thousands of kilometers across Africa. Designed to slow the spread of the Sahara desert, it is taking shape. Read more
Thirteen years back, San Francisco set a revolutionary goal: recycle 100% of its waste by 2020. With four years to go, this city of 850,000 souls is not far off the feat. It has given itself the means … and it pays a lot of money! Read more
Good news, on the environment, is scarce. For the first time, a group of English and American scientists succeeded in demonstrating that the hole in the ozone layer is showing signs of disappearing.
The hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica is in the process of recomposing much faster than expected, according to a British-American study, published recently in the prestigious journal Science.
The researchers did not expect such a conclusion: the last fifteen years, the hole over the ozone layer has shrunk four million square kilometres, which represents half the size of America. How to explain this “healing” of the ozone layer, in the words of American scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who led the study? “It would be largely due to the efforts of countries worldwide to stop using some pollutants gases, chlorine gases,” Susan Solomon told. “This is really a significant accomplishment for society. It is a global environmental dilemma, and we have put ourselves on a good trajectory,” Solomon added.
A significant accomplishment for society” – Solomon
These gases were, for example, in air conditioners, refrigerators, or aerosols. Mainly responsible for the weakening of the ozone layer, they have been progressively banned after the signing of an agreement by all countries in the world in 1987 known as the Montreal Protocol. And because they are less present in the atmosphere, the hole over the Antarctic is absorbed faster.
Scientists are quite optimistic for the future: according to their models at the current rate, the ozone layer will be completely reconstituted by 2050.
In India, the government identified two major problems: youth unemployment and poor air quality. Fortunately, they found an innovative solution that kills two birds with a stone. The government has thus devised a plan whereby 300,000 young people will be recruited to plant 2 billion trees on the edges of highways.

Exit disposable packaging but not the quality or the service. My RestoBox has the ambition to offer the same services as in the restaurant, but at home and responsibly.
My RestoBox is a home meal delivery company on the principle of “zero waste”. According to its President Patrice Faye, “packaging can represent 10% of turnover in the home delivery sector. It is an economic and environmental disaster.”
The homemade dishes from quality products are delivered with 100% run electric vehicles in returnable and reusable boxes. At the end of your meal, you can even alert the server, by sending a message, for them to come and get rid of the box in a few minutes.
Sustainable and connected economy
My RestoBox is also a human-oriented project since it pursued a policy favouring the integration of people in difficulty allowing them to get some money and the possibility to donate to associations working against hunger in the world.
Many inhabitants of Lille are already seduced by this innovative concept; in participating in the Third Industrial Revolution in Nord-Pas-de-Calais – Picardie, based on sustainable and connected economy.
The Saltwater Brewery in Florida, United States, decided to say no to marine pollution. It is replacing its plastic rings for six-pack of beer into biodegradable and edible ones. These new casings have been especially designed to help protect wildlife and environment and prevent marine animals from choking on plastic debris. Read more
