In today's environmentally conscious world, finding smart solutions to save the planet's resources is high on the agenda. Damage to our environment is pressing issue, and more and more people are making changes to reduce their carbon footprint.
In light of the growing seriousness of climate change, and motivated by the uncertainty of the future, positive steps are being taken around the world. For example, the ban on avoidable plastic waste (thus the ban on plastic straws and other single-use plastics) is imminent in many countries, with the ban in the UK set to be introduced as early as next year.
What's more, scientists have revolutionized the energy industry by advancing solar technology. Solar panels are now flexible, lightweight and can be custom built to fit any surface - whatever the size or shape. Ultimately, this means that more people will be able to benefit from solar technology, thus, the future of renewable energy looks promising.
