Plastic pollution poses one of the biggest known threats to the ocean,
influencing all ecosystems from beautiful coral reefs to abyssal trenches,
eventually accumulating in our own food. Learn more about how to upend the
current system of produce-use-discard, and transition to a system which
promotes reuse and repurposing of plastics.

Explore how geothermal energy— the heat in the Earth’s crust— is being
used to create renewable electricity and power.
--
While the weather in Iceland is often cold, wet, and windy, a nearly
endless supply of heat bubbles away below the surface. In fact, almost every
building in the country is heated by geothermal energy in a process with
virtually no carbon emissions. So how exactly does this renewable energy work?
Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl explores the two primary models for harnessing the
planet's natural heat.
Lesson by Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl, directed by Charlotte Arene.

AMAZING FACTS : DEVOURING TREES !
DEVOURING BY TREES'
HELMETS, GRENADES, GUNS
DISCARDED DURING WWII

Long after the dust from the last battle has settled, the dead have been
laid to rest and the confetti from the victory parade has been swept into the
gutter, the nature continues to bear the scars of human conflicts.
A remarkable series of photos taken in a Russian forest have been making
the rounds on social media sites, showing what happens over time to instruments
of carnage discarded in the woods.
Images depict rifles, artillery shells, grenades and sapper shovels
embedded in tree trunks - essentially swallowed up by the natural surroundings
in a silent act of protest against human folly.
Some of the most powerful images in the sequence show slender trees
growing through gaping holes in Soviet Army helmets.
The shape and condition of the protective gear suggest that the helmets
belonged to Red Army servicemen during World War II.
Given that each of the hard-hats is damaged, their owners most likely
had met a violent end.
It is likely that the helmets came to rest on young saplings during a
battle. Over time, the maturing trees widened the bullet holes, and the helmets
essentially became impaled.
Alexander Ostapenko, a Soviet military history enthusiast and World War
II re-enactor from Kolomna, Russia, shared some of the images on his VKontakte
social media account.
Mr Ostapenko revealed that most of the photos have been taken in the
area of the Neva Bridgehead, known as Nevsky Pyatachok, which was the site of
one of the most crucial campaigns during the devastating Siege of Leningrad
that lasted from September 1941 to May 1943.
The poignant photos capturing the rusted out vestiges of World War II
overwhelmed by trees drive home the message that in the end, after all the
medals were handed out to heroes and all the peace treaties were signed, the
only true victor is nature.
