Watch The Skies
The future, around the corner
Predicted to be soaring the sky in just 15 years away
Christened ZEROe, protecting our environment, she's a beauty to behold (eco-friendly - hydrogen-fuelled with a streamlined shape, her 'blended wing body' gives the onlooker the impression of "flying wings" – like that of a bird).
Is the jet engine pollution bubble about to burst? - I hope so! Destined to carry 200 passengers, could ZEROe also possibly spearhead cheaper air flights into the future? Who knows, only time will tell?Keep an eye out.

Saving the Arctic
Unconventional as it may sound, but then weirder things have worked, a new way to use Glass.
California-based non-profit Arctic Ice Project says scatter a thin layer of reflective glass powder over parts of the Arctic to protect it from the Sun's rays.
When placing glass powder, reflective material on top of young ice during the summer months, the ice is provided with extra protection, allowing it to rebuild. Why is Glass seen to spearhead the material of choice? The settled on silica – or silicon dioxide – occurs naturally in most sand and is often used to make Glass.

Saving the Arctic
One way to combat climate change, a daring and bizarre proposal

The approach is Safe and Effective
News to me, over the past decade, tests have been going on with encouraging results.
What I do know is, vanishing rapidly through rising temperatures, the melting of sea ice has an impact far beyond the arctic. Loss in the arctic affects the globe. There is an urgency, and we must do something.
In my opinion, fantastic! Anything that saves our environment sounds good to me. If it works, think of the massive benefits for our planet, human life, and inhabitants included. Sounds good to me.
