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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

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.

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. 

Is Bovaer fed to cows to produce less methane gas a health concern?

When asked to choose their top two concerns of the past year, the non red-meat eaters were equally likely to choose “environment and climate change” or “health/healthcare.”
