Africa: Fruit Peels Could Help Power Your Smartphone's Camera Flash - Here's How: [The Conversation Africa] Imagine turning fruit waste into technology that stores electricity. This would reduce food waste and promote clean energy storage. Postdoctoral researcher Vianney Ngoyi Kitenge transformed mangosteen peels into specialised carbon materials that he used to make… http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TL7SYy #CleanEnergy #SustainableTechnology #WasteToEnergy #AgriculturalInnovation #FoodWasteReduction

This ambition and its results are admirable, and the same philosophy could be much more widely applied-- in any of myriad places employing 18650 cells to build up a battery.

Did you know that around 60% of corporate data is now stored in the cloud?
Cloud computing can be more efficient through scaling and virtualization, but there are challenges such as high energy consumption and electronic waste.

The path to a truly sustainable cloud solution remains a challenge.

Let's work together for a greener future

I love the idea of #CommunitySolar. We buy RECs through Arcadia so that all of our energy comes from renewables, but as renters we can't take advantage of the ample sunshine here in SoCal. I'd love to have a small solar farm nearby! https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/with-rooftop-solar-energy-out-of-reach-for-many-heres-what-community-solar-could-do-for-us?utm_id=100964&sfmc_id=1849582 #SolarPanels #RenewableEnergy #Renewables #SustainableLiving #SustainableTechnology #ClimateCrisis

we need #sustainabletechnology for the future. That isn't developing new technology, that just fuels capitalism, extractionism, colonialism and all the other crap that has got us where we are now.

We need to value existing technology and work. Why reinvent the wheel. Why rely on new unproved high tech when low tech works already.

Sold my trusty old #Omega manual wind #Watch because I could no longer wind it due to worsening #PeripheralNeuropathy . Pleased with my new automatic Laco - gaining about 7s/day, which is fine for a budget mechanical watch.
Only my second watch in 60 years.
