Scientist have found a bacteria that can produce protein-rich fishmeal by feasting on methane captured from landfills, oil and gas facilities, or wastewater treatment plants.

This could be one way to reduce global warming while producing a profit, since currently fishmeal needs either water, land, and/or fertilizer to be produced.

Methane is 80 time more potent at warming than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Plus the primary contributor to the formation of ground-level ozone, which is a hazardous air pollutant that causes 1 million premature deaths yearly.

In the end, one is reducing surface area usage, removing a toxic gas, and making a profit.

You probably have heard that blue light can keep you longer awake, which most devices emit. Though did you know that blue light is the cause for age related vision loss.

Now one would think, that devices have only been around for a couple of decades, so where is this damage coming from. The answer is the sun. Though the sunlight provides a whole spectrum of light, which include infrared light, which counteracts most of the negative effects of blue light. And in comparison sunlight is about 10 times stronger than the blue light from devices. So sunglasses could help reduces the amount of damaging blue light can reach your eyes.

Another option are dried goji berries, which one can imagine as sunscreen for one's eyes.
