Liquid 3 (also known as Liquid Trees) is a clean energy photobioreactor project designed to replace the function of trees in heavily polluted urban areas where planting and growing real vegetation is not viable. The project was designed by the Institute for Multidisciplinary Research at the University of Belgrade. The United Nations Development ...
Trees were supposed to be the urban jungle's salvation -- but a new study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology suggests otherwise. Trees might actually make summer air ...

It's easy to find buildings laced with greenery in order to reduce their CO2 footprints. ... a 30,000-person urban development where every building will be covered in pollution-reducing plants ...
Construction sites typically implement simple measures to reduce pollution and runoff. Firstly, sediment or silt fences are erected around construction sites to reduce the amount of sediment and large material draining into the nearby water body. Secondly, laying grass or straw along the border of construction sites also work to reduce nonpoint ...
In order to reduce costs of P2 techniques, many officials are turning to pollution elimination strategies, thereby eliminating any need for end-of-pipe solutions. A task force was created by the EPA in order to directly target reduction strategies. The P2 program task force has 5 main goals: create feasible P2 objectives and corresponding time ...
