Today I read these three diferrent news story related to environment.
1. Desert geopark in China : What is a geopark ?
Geopark is a place where rare geological landforms are preserved in an undisturbed state and where low impact recreation, scientific research, and educational activities can be pursued.
The total planned area for this geopark is said to be 630.37 square km.
It will be functioning as a museum as well as as scientific research center.
2. World Car free day :
On September 22nd 200 cyclists celebrated World Car Free day by using cycles. This was an attempt to keep traffic jam and pollution at bay. Though the event went almost unnoticed and no similar effort was seen anywhere else.
I wonder why do such news go unnoticed when certain channels are busy showing what do star eat and how thye go to the gym and what do they wear. I was surprised to see zero comments in the article where I read this news. I wonder what kind of news do people normally look for?
3. Britan will be recycling diapers to make roof tiles :
A new technology will help them to do so. As British babies use around three billion disposable diapers every year it is important to develop a way to utilize the waste.
A company called Knowaste has opened a plant in West Bromwich where diapers collected from child nurseries, hospitals and nursing facalities will be recycled.
The product will be sterilized and highly valuable plastic and fibre will be recovered from them.
