Environmental issues,
sustainable development and the like are among my favourite topics to deal
with, and I aspire to deal with those professionally in the future. Last
Wednesday 5 June 2014, it was World Environment Day and this week
there has been some interesting developments on climate change, energy and emissions
reduction.
There have been two pretty cool
technological developments this week in the media. One is an actual technique,
one is still a concept. First in an article from the news website ScienceDaily, an excellent new technology was discussed and to me, this has a lot of
potential in our modern world. Some anonymous student developed roof tile
coating which can clean the air from smog! Just imagine the potential: all
roofs in cities and villages coated with this substance and our air will be
cleaner to breath. Supposedly it is cheap and does not harm the roof tiles. I
am really looking forward to see developments, I am eager to see it in shops
and put in on the roof tiles.
