Ao buscar uma forma de tornar as embalagens de cuidados pessoais mais sustentáveis, a startup sueca Meadow encontrou inspiração em uma fonte inusitada: a reciclagem de latinhas de alumínio usadas para bebidas.

Su lesión en la médula espinal le dejó algo de movimiento limitado, pero las habilidades motoras finas eran especialmente difíciles.

Two years ago, the vertical farming company @UpwardFarms raised $134m. Last week, it shut down. It’s the latest casualty in a struggling industry. I covered the challenges in a recent story: https://t.co/D3JVaVcDXg

Induction stoves can be better than gas, like @ImpulseLabs_'s new stoves that can boil water in 40 seconds and double as energy storage https://t.co/8OJx9TIQDy
