For Days, a clothing startup that wants to reduce the enormous amount of textile waste created annually, announced today that it has raised $2.8 million in seed funding. The round was led by Rosecliff Ventures joined by Collaborative Fund, with participation from Congruent Ventures, Third Prime Capital, Closed Loop Ventures, Bleu Capital, Gramercy Fund, and Ride Ventures. For Days makes its clothing with a closed-loop manufacturing and recycling process...

The vegan Beyond Burger has finally arrived in Tesco supermarkets across the UK. The much-anticipated plant-based burger made by California-based vegan protein brand Beyond Meat was spotted by Instagram user Vicki at an unnamed Tesco location. According to a comment on the post, some stores have already sold out.

This is how the Italian city of Bologna is getting people to leave their cars behind.

What if plastic were made from waste like banana peels, coffee grounds and cardboard takeout containers instead of petroleum? And what if, after use, that plastic decomposed like the biological materials it was made from? Toronto-based Genecis, a cleantech startup, is trying to make that dream of greener plastic a reality, and to make it cheap enough to use in everyday throwaway items like coffee pods and other food packaging.

From cod to clingfilm, the advice we’re given can often be confusing. If you’re serious about eating green, here are some straightforward solutions

Almost 40 percent of the food supply in this country never gets eaten, due to loss and waste, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. ("Loss" refe

As demand for more streamlined and recyclable packaging peaks, manufacturers are challenged with creating solutions that keep their brand image.

United Airlines is partnering with California-based Fulcrum Bioenergy to make alternative jet fuel from food scraps, farm waste, and animal fat.

When transit is planned with the goal of high ridership, what does that mean? What do transit network designers actually do when this is their direction?

Good news: There’s still hope for truly sustainable farming.

After all these years I still get that little shiver of anticipation when I receive a request for a tender proposal titled “sustainability” or “ESD” – that’s my thing, my passion, my business, and I know I’m good at it.

As we noted in a sister article on Friday (“Climate Change Issues May Decide 2016 US Election”), NextGen Climate has come out with a thought-provoking white paper called “The Economic Case For Clean Energy.” Its context mirrors and supports the gist of remarks by Tom Steyer, president and 2013 founder of the group, that challenge American

It appears that New Zealand is finally ready to throw their domestic coal habit into Mount Doom — by 2018, the country will cease to use coal as a source of domestic energy production. “Historically coal has played an important role in ensuring the security of New Zealand’s electricity supply, particularly in dry years where our hydro-lake levels are low,” Simon Bridges, New Zealand’s Energy and Resources Minister, said in a statement.

Global manufacturer Skretting has extensively tested a fish food that is totally free of wild caught fishmeal.

Researchers looking into new and sustainable energy have achieved a breakthrough in solar cell technology by reporting the development of a “green antenna” to potentially double the efficiencies of certain solar cells and significantly, make them more affordable. Solar energy is a proven, inexhaustible source of energy and is slowly findings its way into communities.

The world could one day be powered by photosynthesis from artificial leaves, say researchers from Monash University in Melbourne. Their system to turn water into fuel, using nothing but solar energy, could be used to run cars, houses and even whole communities. The 'artificial leaf' created by researchers is actually more of a solar-powered device that is able to produce hydrogen with a record-breaking degree of efficiency.

Costa Rica has set an ambitious goal for itself: To be entirely carbon neutral by 2021. But it’s really not that crazy — just this summer, the entire country was powered entirely on renewable energy sources for 94 straight days.

New report spotlights the wildest lands that are most at risk of being exploited for the resources that lie beneath them. These lands are Too Wild to Drill.

Pioneering technology to deliver the cheapest, small-scale concentrated solar power plants in the world could revolutionise the renewable energy market

A key tool in the U.S. Clean Power Plan, wind gets global lift with lower costs and more offshore farms. But will its growth continue?

An unlikely partnership between Hawaii’s local government and the US military makes the island a leader in energy policy.

High on a hill was a lonely sunflower. Not a normal sunflower, mind you; that would hardly be very notable. This sunflower is a solar sunflower that combines both photovoltaic solar power and concentrated solar thermal power in one neat, aesthetic package that has a massive total efficiency of around 80 percent. The Solar Sunflower, a Swiss invention developed by Airlight Energy, Dsolar (a subsidiary of Airlight), and IBM Research in Zurich, uses something called HCPVT...

It has been more than four years since the east coast of Japan was hit with a trifecta: an earthquake of Magnitude 9 on the Richter scale, followed by a massive tsunami triggered by the quake’s tremors, and then the meltdown of three nuclear reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear generating complex.

According to U.S. government estimates obtained by the AP, if left unchecked, the Taylor Energy leak could continue to spill oil into the Gulf for at least another 100 years.

Eight Greenpeace teams have returned from expeditions on three continents carrying water and snow samples from remote areas for laboratory testing. The tests will show just how far contamination from PFCs – persistent and hazardous chemicals used to make outdoor gear waterproof – has spread.

Just Water is trying to get rid of some of the most wasteful packaging in the worldand wants to remind you that tap water is just as good.

A small but operational ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) plant was inaugurated in Hawaii last week, making it the first in the world. The opening of the 100-kilowatt facility marked the first time a closed-cycle OTEC plant will be connected to the U.S. grid. But that amount of energy production can power only 120 Hawaiian homes for a year, a tiny drop in the ocean for the island state’s own energy needs. What promise OTEC holds for other regions is even less certain.
