Upgrading watermelon rinds to healthy summer foods

Long before "sustainability" entered the modern lexicon, Islamic tradition had its own ecological saint. His name is Al-Khidr — The Green One. He appears briefly in the Quran, yet his presence has shaped Islamic thought, Sufi mysticism, and folk tradition across fourteen centuries. Today, he's emerging as an unexpected symbol for Muslims thinking seriously about the environment.

The halal food market is now worth trillions globally, and companies are beginning to notice growing demand for halal-certified vegetarian and vegan products.

Looking back on the pain and heartbreak I've experienced in life, the raven might be seen as an agent of destruction or might be seen as an agent of change; it turned out to be the latter, leading to greater renewal.

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have created a soft, wearable ultrasound patch that can continuously monitor a fetus for hours at a time — and it can do so consistently even as the fetus and umbilical cord constantly move during pregnancy. 

First time I saw a 2 gauge gun in person was at a Pennsylvania gun show, leaning against a velvet-lined display case. The dealer...

Energy equities are responding unevenly to the evolving landscape. Companies with direct exposure to UAE production growth and infrastructure are benefiting from increased activity expectations, while global oil majors face a more mixed outlook.

France is home to around 5 to 7.5 million Muslims according to estimates, and Özlem Şahin, head of the organization behind Modest Fashion Week, has described Paris as "one of the leading modest fashion capitals in Europe".

Tillage is one of the clearest signals of how a farm treats its soil. Intensive plowing can degrade structure, release carbon, and increase erosion. Conservation practices—no-till, cover cropping, minimal disturbance—do the opposite. They build soil, retain water, and support biodiversity. But until now, measuring these practices at scale has been slow, expensive, and often self-reported.

Before promoting sustainability progress, companies must ensure their initiatives are genuine and measurable. Today’s audiences are increasingly skeptical of vague environmental claims, particularly as awareness of “greenwashing” has grown.

For millennia, the Middle East's water crisis seemed an immutable fact of geography — a region defined as much by what it lacked as by what lay beneath its sands. Today, a convergence of plummeting solar costs, advancing membrane technology, and hard-won engineering expertise is rewriting that story.

Biochar is produced by heating organic material in a low-oxygen environment so it does not burn. This process, known as pyrolysis, transforms plant matter into a stable, carbon-rich material.
