AI and energy hunger games

If there’s one thing we learned this week, it’s that AI isn’t just a playground for bored tech bros and teens asking ChatGPT to...

New advances on making aquaponics a valid business

Researchers from a desert country, where food growing is limited due to lack of water, offer a new proof of concept for a new closed loop system called aquaponics that produces more fish and vegetables while using less energy than conventional systems.

A guide to rewilding your cities

Tel Aviv has started giving away free fruit trees in a bid to re-wild its city and make it greener. They are calling it an urban food forest. Researchers from Berlin come up with a blueprint on how to green and re-wild your city. You could use this with new greening AI research from MIT to make your city remarkably green.

Making Jerusalem a Sustainable City

I personally coordinate a Center for Sustainability in the Ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Romema. Most people would say that is quite unique because that population typically gets a bad rap when it comes to environmental friendliness and that is because the families are large, on average 7.7 children per household and they use a lot of ‘one-time-use’ dishware, therefore producing a large amount of non-recyclable waste.

A Sustainable Path to Rebuilding Gaza: Opportunity for Collaboration and Peace

Given the likelihood of a buffer zone along Gaza’s border, an innovative approach could be to transform this space into a greenbelt. Many cities worldwide have successfully implemented green zones that serve as ecological buffers while also benefiting urban populations. A well-planned greenbelt could provide environmental benefits, support agriculture, and even serve as a shared space between Gazans and Israelis—turning a divisive border into an area of mutual sustainability.

Microplastics have invaded our brains

A recent study in Nature by toxicologist Matthew Campen at the University of New Mexico found that human brain tissue contains significant amounts of microplastics. By dissolving brain tissue samples, Campen’s team was able to isolate up to 10 grams of microplastics per brain—about the weight of a crayon.

Tel Aviv’s mayor Huldai is taking smart phones from schools – his irony in education

Waldorf schools, created by Austria's Rudolph Steiner, are the fastest-growing school system in Israel because of their focus on arts and crafts and their avoidance of technology in the classroom. It’s ironic that Huldai is being praised for pushing a tech-free school environment while his administration shattered a community that has been practicing this philosophy for over a decade.

RepAir Carbon: The Game-Changing Carbon Capture Tech Set to Revolutionize Net-Zero Goals

Achieving a net-zero future is impossible without carbon capture. But until now, the solutions have been too expensive, too complicated, or too slow to scale. RepAir Carbon is proving that there’s a better way—one that’s ready for the real world. The question isn’t if this technology will transform the industry. It’s when.

Using drones to know if whales are pregnant

New research published in Scientific Reports, describes a first-of-its-kind method of accurately detecting different pregnancy stages in killer whales using drone images. Understanding the reproductive success of whales is an important way of monitoring how vulnerable different populations are to threats such as vessel disturbance and food scarcity. 

Alcohol urge reduced by CBC from cannabis, new study

CBD has been found to reduce seizures in children with epilepsy, and it can help autism and with pain management. Green Prophet's exclusive work with medical doctor Alan Shackelford in the US has helped us understand the limitless medical possibilities with CBD. 

The incredible shrunken salt head mummy men

These “salt men” are ancient corpses that were either killed or crushed in the cave and naturally mummified by the harsh, salty conditions. The dry salinity of the mine preserved hair, flesh, and bone but also internal organs, including stomachs and colons, in remarkable detail.

Sudan is starving and 25 million people face famine

Urgent action, in particular immediate and unimpeded humanitarian access, is required to address the widening famine in Sudan, where almost 25 million people face acute food insecurity.

Are the Great Lakes polluted?

The Great Lakes may look pristine, but a new cleanup report reveals a growing tide of plastic pollution beneath the surface. From cigarette butts and food wrappers to tiny plastic fragments and discarded nicotine pouches, researchers are finding evidence that everyday consumer waste is making its way into North America's largest freshwater ecosystem. New technologies, including Canada's first BeBot beach-cleaning robot, are helping scientists understand how plastic travels through lakes, shorelines and stormwater systems before breaking down into microplastics.

Can a one trillion-Dollar SpaceX IPO change life on earth?

A SpaceX IPO could become one of the most consequential financial events of the century, creating thousands of millionaires and fueling investment across the New Space economy. From orbital robotics and African space programs to launch infrastructure and satellite networks, the ripple effects may extend far beyond Earth—while forcing investors to reconsider whether generative AI remains the most compelling technology bet of the decade.

Anthropic, Google and Stripe put nearly $1 Billion on carbon removal

A coalition led by Frontier, backed by Stripe, Google, Salesforce and newly joined AI company Anthropic, has committed an additional $915 million to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The pledge adds to a previous $1 billion commitment and brings Frontier's total buying power to nearly $2 billion.

Bathroom dad Tyler Brodsky shows us why Americans need more common sense

Oklahoma father Tyler Brodsky became the center of a national debate after accompanying his young daughters into a women's restroom during a road trip.
