A Chinese company is working on a straddling bus that would allow cars to drive underneath it. With the possibility of moving 1,400 passengers, this type of transportation would take that many cars off the road, severely reducing air pollution. Not to mention how many traditional buses it would replace, and how much fuel it would save. As an added bonus, it looks like a giant monster swallowing cars. Check out the nifty video below:
A huge problem for wildlife is when people don't cut those plastic bottle rings that come with 6-packs of whatever-you-drink. The rings can constrict an animal, and oftentimes these animals will suffer with severe deformities and pain until dying a slow death of either suffocation or internal damage. Even if you do cut those rings, birds and turtles still eat the plastic. Now, there are biodegradable bottle rings! Unlike the plastic ones, these can be flung wherever without causing any damage to wildlife! They are made from wheat and barley, which means they are completely edible and degrade much much faster than traditional plastic ones (which may last 90 days). Since wheat and barley are by-products of beer production, it's also a form of recycling matter that's usually discarded. I'm super excited for this invention to become a part of our daily lives! I've included another video for you here:
These inventions, along with many others in the works, will help us all to be better environmental stewards. So let's have more of that and less of this. Thanks for reading everyone!
