(1/5) Every year, millions of tons of farm #stubble and crop waste are burned in India — resulting in toxic, air-polluting #smog.
(2/5) Founded by #Pune-based siblings Shubham Singh and Himansha Singh, the #startup #Craste helps prevent this from happening by buying the stubble from farmers and creating products like tree-free #packaging and formaldehyde-free particle boards used to build #furniture.
(3/5) Craste does this through a patented proprietary process - Fumasolv - that separates three main components from crop waste, which are cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose.

#Thailand #Bangkok #Smog

Chronic air pollution covered Bangkok, Thailand, this morning (December 14). The air quality reached dangerous levels of 180 on the IQ Air index, with the safe levels of particles in the air being 50 micrograms per cubic metre.
Thai capital Bangkok was the world’s eighth-most polluted city by 10 am local, with residents complaining of headaches, sore eyes, coughs and a metallic taste in their mouths.
The country has been suffering from debilitating levels of toxic air pollution for several years, with the government seemingly unable to fix the problem.

Wrocław jest w pierwszej piątce najbardziej zasyfionych miast świata. To coroczna norma. Od dawna @Zieloni gromią o zanieczyszczeniu powietrza i koniecznych zmianach. Tymczasem przez lata @MorawieckiM i @AndrzejDuda opowiadali o 200 lat węgla.

Badania naukowe potwierdzają bowiem prostą zależność zgonów na #Covid_19 i #smog Aż 28% zgonów na #COVID19 w Polsce jest spowodowanych przez zanieczyszczenie powietrza. To drugi wynik na świecie. To był główny powód dużej ilości zgonów w Lombardii.

The current #ColdWave spell in #Pakistan isn't normal!

My latest for @TheNewsonSunday

@icimod @pmdgov @atsheikh @TheNewsonSunday @Ajazaly @deb_comms @MaximShrestha @julienmh @UNDP_Pakistan @hnaqikhan @tahirrasheed92 @SamanIqbal3 @MattSwaine @viewmagazine Muhammad Riaz DG @pmdgov "The impacts of climate change are evident in the current cold wave episode. (&) Smog led to the formation of N02 (which) was converted to ozone (O3), (blocking) the solar radiation, due to which the day temperature was very close to night temperature.”

Manager @icimod, “For past few decades, the monsoon season has been starting early or late. The last 2 decades happened to be the warmest stretch & climate variability & change highly affected winter and summer weather patterns.”

As a battle looms ahead, let’s take a look back at where we’ve been & why #CleanCarStandards are so important.

Once upon a time, CA’s fight for #cleanercars emerged from a thick layer of yellowish gray #smog with a metallic taste & eye-stinging character...
When Governor Ronald Reagan signed the law creating CARB in 1968, California had been fighting the #smog monster for over 20 years with regulations to clean up tailpipe pollution
Governor Reagan fought hard to protect CA’s authority to set its own #cleanercarstandards under the newly passed #CleanAirAct, signed by President Nixon a few years after LA’s #smog made the cover of Time Magazine
