The 33 sustainability certifications you need to know. Trish Kenlon. Tue, 05/18/2021 - 01:00. The No. 1 question I get asked by job seekers, hands down, is "What certification should I get if I want to work in sustainability?" And I know everyone hates it when I have to respond with "It depends," but it really, truly does. The 2020 GreenBiz State of the Profession Report included a fantastic chart titled "Percentage of survey respondents having received training or certification," which showed t

The massive 2.5 trillion dollar fashion industry may be economically thriving in the age of fast-changing trends but it is in no way sustainable. In fact, fashion is the second largest polluting industry after fossil fuels. Countless cases of its damage to natural resources, pollutive waste and emissions, and unethical labor practices have fallen under the public eye over the years.

Robotics and automation have already been in the solar industry for years. Visit any solar module manufacturing facility (like SPW did when checking out Silfab Solar in Ontario) and you’ll find robotic arms assembling cells into strings, soldering wires and sealing backsheets. Even outside of manufacturing, more robotics are now entering solar services.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

Studying the zebrafish could advance efforts to reach Mars, say researchers, by understanding how a form of hibernation, known as induced torpor (a state of reduced metabolic activity) may provide radio-protective effects. The fish is a type of freshwater minnow, native to South Asia and a popular aquarium fish. Hibernation is a physiological condition found in many species that protects them against harsh conditions, such as food scarcity and low environmental temperatures.

There is a universe in which Hurricane Sandy didn’t create quite so much devastation back in 2012; where the waters, which surged deep into subway tunnels and left parts of New York City in the dark for days, left some parts of the tri-state area unscathed. And that universe, according to scientists, is one without climate change. Superstorm Sandy destroyed half a million homes, killed 159 people, and caused $62.5 billion in damages.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonies collected on a laboratory plate. Researchers at Hong Kong Polytechnic University have developed a seemingly new technique to trap and recover microplastics. The method uses bacterial biofilms, a sticky substance created by micro-organisms, to trap microplastic particles. The biofilm is then processed and dispersed, releasing the microplastic particles for processing and recycling.
