From Scotland to California, golf courses are being rewilded – with lofty aims to benefit both people and nature. Sinking into nature comes easy at the Plock of Kyle. I visit this tiny wedge of parkland on the west coast of Scotland, just across the bridge from the Isle of Skye, on a rainy day in late September, and park ranger Heather Beaton and I spend the afternoon wandering around its various ecosystems-in-miniature.

Mas é exatamente isso que a maioria das pessoas faz ao descartar a casca da banana. Ela representa cerca de um terço do seu peso médio total. Como ocorre com muitas outras frutas e legumes, a casca da banana não só é comestível, como contém nutrientes úteis. Nas laranjas, a casca forma cerca de 20% da fruta.

Pela primeira vez, o limite crítico de aumento de 1,5 ºC das temperaturas globais foi ultrapassado por um ano inteiro em 2024. O rápido aquecimento chama mais uma vez a atenção para a necessidade urgente de reduzir as emissões globais de carbono. Grande parte do trabalho necessário para frear as mudanças climáticas vai além das possibilidades individuais de cada pessoa.
