World's First Plant to Recycle All Forms of Plastic Begins Construction
There is no doubt about it. We have a plastic problem. According to Plastics Europe, 350m tonnes of plastic is produced annually, and only 9% of that plastic is ever recycled. This plastic pollutes our oceans and shows up everywhere as microplastics. More alarmingly, according to the World Economic Forum, this problem is predicted to increase tenfold by 2025 if solutions aren’t found.

Using characters from "Game of Thrones", researchers investigated what happens in the brain when people immerse themselves in fiction. The study found the more people became immersed in a story, the more they "became" the fictional character while reading.

The Amazon rainforest is most likely now a net contributor to warming of the planet, according to a first-of-its-kind analysis from more than 30 scientists. For years, researchers have expressed concern that rising temperatures, drought, and deforestation are reducing the capacity of the world’s largest rainforest to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and help offset emissions from fossil-fuel burning. Recent studies have even suggested that some portions of the tropical landscape already may release more carbon than they store.
