One good way to stem the production of plastic is to recycle plastic that has already been produced and use it to make new products. Plastic recycling has become more advanced in recent years and is always becoming more efficient. Plastic recycling reduces our need for more fossil fuels, saves energy , landfill space, and emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. So, how is plastic recycled, anyway? Plastic recycling process. Step 2: Recycling. MORE
Recirculation farms are a socially responsible farming method and business too; they support the use of renewable energy, recycle water and waste, and provide local food.

Many CEOs, faced with that kind of success, would just keep doing things the same way, regardless of the fact that Dubai, like all the MENA nations, has extreme water scarcity, which will get worse over the next decades with climate change. District cooling is already super green.

The project pits two 225 square meter (740 square foot) single-story villas against each other to determine which guzzles more energy and water. Bioreactor tanks which clean and recycle water have also been installed.
