Biocarbon Engineering has developed a tree-planting system using remote-controlled drones that
is capable of planting up to 400,000 trees a day! Right now, the company is involved in a project in
Myanmar, restoring the country?s coastal mangrove forests.
But this technology can be used to restore forests all over the world ? it?s really exciting stuff.
2. Recycling Technology
If you?re concerned about the amount of plastic garbage piling up in the environment, you?ll be
glad to know that there have been some really exciting developments in recycling technology.
For example, companies such as Brightmark Energy in Indiana, and Renewlogy in Utah, have
perfected the process of recycling ALL plastics, including the low-grade kinds that you couldn?t
recycle?
And turning them into fuel and other high-value petrochemical products.
Best of all, they?re able to do this without causing any toxic emissions or additional pollution.
3. Plastic Alternatives
On top of that, there have been huge advances lately in the field of plastic alternatives. For
example, this year at the London Marathon, instead of handing out plastic bottles, organizers gave
runners water in edible pouches made from seaweed.
And there are companies creating single-use plastic items such as food containers out of
biodegradable sugarcane fiber, hemp, cactus, corn, and even algae and crustacean waste from
seafood processing plants!
All of these companies are dedicated to cleaning up our environment and solving the problems
around plastic pollution and I think it?s going to be really exciting to follow their growth and
impact.
4. Renewable Energy
Then there are the incredible advancements are being made every day in the field of renewable
energy.
The cost of renewables ? such as solar and wind energy ? is dropping faster than experts
expected, which means more countries are adopting it in favor of more polluting forms of energy.
In both Germany and UK, for example, renewable sources now regularly supply more than half of
the country?s energy, while Costa Rica has been running almost entirely on renewable energy for
over a year now!
So although we are facing huge challenges in terms of pollution and climate change, huge progress
is being made on those fronts. And the same is true in terms of society.
5. Decreasing Violence
For example ? despite what the news media would have you believe ? did you know that the
amount of violence and war we experience around the world has steadily decreased from decade
to decade?
It?s true ? if you look at the number of people who died from war and terrorism in the 1970s, it?s
