Recently, the American Association for the Advancement of Science reported that a group of researchers for Department of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that it is possible to capture and collect water from the atmosphere with the use of low-grade heat produced by solar energy. MIT added that in a report last year in Science Advances they reported that four billion people, with two billion of those people living in India and China, continue to face “severe water scarcity at least one month of
A Look at How Rewriting the Rules to Net Neutrality could Change the Internet
Net neutrality and regulating the Internet continues to become more important on a national and international level. During the past conflicts with net neutrality within the United States companies have folded under consumer demand. A recent development on Internet privacy is the overturning of the regulations that the Obama administration had put in place to protect Web users. In another poor move to kick off the first 100 days, the Trump administration has now signed into law giving Internet providers more access to their consumers' information. The New York Times reported: “This is a repeal with no replacement.” - Danny Weitzner,

Cattle Poop and Climate Change: A Dietary and Environmental Problem
The amount of methane and greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere continues to build as our annual temperatures continue to increase above average speed. Climate change is real, and it is how we each decide to adapt to the changing climate that will lay foundation for future generations. When problems become solutions real progress takes place. Farmers in California have found a way to turn their cow manure into fuel for their farm. KAWL.org reported from Bob Giacomini’s family dairy farm north of Point Reyes Station: “We capture the methane, it’s pumped off and pumped up to run the

As indie musicians took control of their music, they also took control of the financing and advertising their creative work. Overall, a majority of these startup record labels
