November 2022 Is A Pivotal Month For Sustainability
As we move to the fall of 2022, we should note that November is a busy month with sustainability and green growth summits and opportunities.

10 Fascinating Mysteries Involving Spiders
10 Blue Tarantulas There are more than 850 known species of tarantulas worldwide. Some can shoot excrement as a form of defense, while others can grow to be as large as a human face. Then there are those that are bright blue in color for no apparent reason. Experts believe that the hue blue has a significant function. They "do not yet know what that [particular] role is," though. The most likely theory relates to sexual selection. Scientists hypothesize that the tarantulas' bright hue aids in luring prospective mates. However, Bor-Kai Hsiung of the University of Akron argues that this theory is unlikely to be accurate because tarantulas have extremely weak eyesight despite having eight eyes.

Rising temperatures have caused the largest glacier in Antarctica to fall off, covering an area of 4,320 square kilometers and 4 New York
A major side effect of the sharp increase in carbon dioxide is the formation of the greenhouse effect, which causes the earth's temperature to rise year by year. According to statistics from the past 200 years, the average temperature has grown from 14.5 ℃ in the early 19th century to more than 15 ℃. The general trend of population growth, coupled with reliance on high-tech products, will increase carbon dioxide emissions.

We’re Running Out of Seafood, Yet We Waste Billions of Pounds of It
A 2015 study published in Global Environmental Change estimates that every year, almost half the seafood supply in the United States is lost, amounting to nearly 500 million pounds of protein waste. Globally, we lose 110 billion pounds. Considering the US Department of Agriculture recommends that the average person consume at least 1.7 ounces of protein per day, this lost seafood is enough to feed more than 2.7 million people for an entire year. Relatedly, this particular form of food waste further contributes to overfishing, which has of course precipitated a steep decline in marine wildlife populations.

“Meat the Future” Takes Viewers to the Meat-Growing Lab
According to the USDA, the average American consumed an estimated 144 pounds of meat in 2017. Although plant-based products have soared in popularity since hitting mainstream markets, it seems Americans are far from willing to give up meat entirely. Which is why a team of scientists at Upside Foods (formerly known as Memphis Meats) have set out to make cultivated meat the new norm.

5 Simple Steps to Birdscape Your Yard
magine 3 billion more birds flitting and flying around North American skies than there are today. The visual wouldn’t be fiction—it’d be 1970. As cities have expanded and native habitats have shrunk and degraded, bird populations have tumbled in tandem. But gardeners and homeowners have the chance to shift the stats: Instead of DIY-ing that new patio, why not DIY a new wildlife reserve?

Keeping Fruit Time
Gardening is an exercise in stubborn, fragrant faith: that these sticks you hold in a feathery root ball will somehow turn pliant and shoot wild into the sunshine, offering fruit when you least expect it. But that's just what happened when my husband and I planted our first blackberry bush in late February on an unusually warm weekend here in Oxford, Mississippi, just before the pandemic.
