We already know they pose a risk to health and can pollute ecosystems, but now researchers have discovered that tiny plastic particles drifting in Earth's atmosphere could be a significant contributor to global warming.
The 67-year-old is symbolic of efforts by the western Japanese city of Matsuyama in Ehime Prefecture, long known primarily for citrus cultivation, to shift more to avocados, partly as a strategy to adapt to rising temperatures amid global warming.
An EU framework for calculating the life-cycle global warming potential (GWP) of new buildings has been published today, aimed at ensuring EU countries use comparable methodologies for this calculation.
