The zero waste movement is one of the most important ideas launched to save Earth. But what is it exactly? Why do we have to save our planet? What is the meaning of zero waste?

Climate change is happening while greenhouse gas emissions are not decreasing enough. It is clear that fossil fuels will run out in a couple of decades, so we have to focus on clean energy not just because of the sake of the planet, but also because our days with natural gas and coal-powered industry and infrastructure are numbered. 

In this article, we will inspect how long fossil fuels will last. Natural gas, coal, and oil are non-renewable sources of energy, and our reserves are constantly getting emptier. What is the solution? Is building more nuclear power plants inevitable or can we go green in the next decades?

Decarbonization means that countries have an agreement on reducing their GHG emissions. How to shift electricity demand and counter climate change?

Is natural gas really better than coal? How big are the greenhouse gas emissions when different fuels are burned? What should the world use? How much is left from these resources?

Natural gas is the most eco-friendly gas, but still, it is a fossil fuel. Not just gas emissions, but the extraction itself can affect our environment.

Natural gas has a pretty good reputation among fossil fuels. While burning this fossil fuel, it emits much fewer greenhouse gases than oil or coal. But we cannot say it is environmental-friendly: it is just less polluting.    

In people’s minds, renewable energy is good, while fossil fuels are bad. But the picture is much more nuanced than that.    

The world is moving towards green energy, but this does not mean that we can completely throw away fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are the most widely used energy sources in the world.

Flying accounts for 5 percent of the human-induced warming of the planet, but that will grow, being among the hardest sources of greenhouse gases to replace without a major impact on our lifestyles. However, one piece of research suggests there might be a simple way to nearly halve the damage flying does.
