How can we stay safe as sea levels rise?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This video is part of a series of Commonwealth Science Class resources created in collaboration with The Royal Society and covers the topic of rising sea levels. 

Mr Anote Tong served as President of Kiribati from 2003 to 2016 and is well known for his efforts to raise global awareness on the threat posed by climate change. Two small Kiribati islets are reported to have disappeared underwater in 1999 and the predicted sea level rise of 50cm by 2100 suggests that within a century much of the land will be submerged. 

Mr Tong visited Rurubao School of Tarawa to talk to pupils about how rising sea levels could affect their home, and carried out an experiment about how warming water increases in volume, contributing to a rise in sea levels.

Dr. Seuss was ahead of his time with his 1971 book "The Lorax." The book's environmental message has been described as "a statement on conservation and corporate responsibility," and that same philosophy should guide industrial glove manufacturing practices.

We recommend glove manufacturers take a two-pronged approach to environmentalism:

Incorporate green research and innovation into all products.

Improve green manufacturing practices.

Here are some specific ways glove manufacturers can make the environment cleaner, greener and safer in the United States.
Green research and development:

Develop green products. With millions of industrial gloves going into landfills each year, the recent introduction of the first biodegradable disposable nitrile glove is encouraging in the development of green products. What is notable about this patent-pending innovation is that you have a glove polymer - nitrile - that was not considered to be biodegradable, and it has been engineered into a biodegradable product that breaks down only when placed in a landfill.

Use recycled content in the product. Due to their large volumes, used automobile tires are among the largest and most problematic sources of waste at landfills. Innovative manufacturers are engineering gloves that contain ground-up tires in the rough textured grip, which reduces the number of tires in landfills.

Manufacturing practices:

Energy footprint. Glove manufacturers can reduce their energy footprint through the design of new machines and the modification of existing machines that lower energy consumption. At one U.S.-based glove manufacturing facility, this type of practice has proven to dramatically lower the amount of fuel used to power production lines.

Reduction of waste. The most forward-thinking glove manufacturers are beginning to use reclamation machines for knitted glove products. This improved process eliminates a huge amount of waste. At least one manufacturer has brought all of its cut-resistant products under this reclamation effort. Because of this effort, virtually all waste has been eliminated during the manufacturing of its high-performance fiber cut-resistant products.

Environmental discharge. Science is leading the way in "going green" manufacturing processes where glove manufacturers are now using chemistry systems that have lower environmental impact and lower toxicity. Manufacturers are working to eliminate chemicals that are considered dangerous to the environment.

Recyclable packaging. Follow the lead of consumer products where recyclable packaging is an important feature. Even in the consumer world, it is not a primary purchase motivator but is becoming increasingly expected. Glove manufacturers can offer packaging made from 100 percent recycled material for inner dispensers and outer cases made from 100 percent post-consumer waste.

Green logistics. The entire supply change can be reverse-engineered with the environment in mind. Global manufacturers are at an advantage because they can shift production to local plants and facilities. The closer the plant to the raw material or the end customer, the greater the cost savings and the less impact freight and other transportation have on the environment.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hundreds of industries have joined in the struggle to "go green" by lowering their carbon footprint, using recycled materials, or reducing the amount of waste they produce. But can the disposable glove industry dream of joining them? Even though many green strategies can't be used - the vast majority of nitrile gloves are definitely not recyclable and rarely reusable - glove manufacturers are still making great strides. Here's how.
Focus 1: The Gloves
Millions of disposable gloves will end up in landfills each year. Initially, there might seem to be no way to temper the environmental damage that this can wreak.

However, it's important to know that latex gloves, at least, are made from natural rubber, which is a renewable resource that can be extracted from living trees. Other gloves can be partially made from ground-up tires.

Nitrile gloves, on the other hand are more difficult to "green." Yet even here, innovation has come through; recently, one glove manufacturer engineered a biodegradable disposable nitrile glove that breaks down only when placed in a landfill. Since nitrile has always been viewed as innately non-biodegradable, this is a breakthrough in environmentally sound glove production,.
Focus 2: The Manufacturing Process
Interestingly, the process of manufacturing disposable gloves has seen numerous opportunities for environmentally responsible changes. Some glove manufacturers have modified their existing machinery to ensure that they consume less fuel. Some use electricity supplied from renewable resources, such as solar or wind energy, and some have even begun to use biomass boilers that burn nut shells or other waste products to power their machinery. They can also try to make the most efficient use of the energy produced by recycling any hot air that escapes, reintroducing it to the manufacturing process by using heat exchange units.

In addition, some glove manufacturers opt for minimizing the use of chemicals that are environmentally harmful. They replace these with chemistry systems that have less of an impact on the environment, as well as less toxicity to humans and animals.
Focus 3: The Waste Products
Although disposable gloves themselves are meant to be thrown away, there is also the material used to hold the gloves. Some companies are "going green" when it comes to packaging methods. Glove manufacturers can focus on manufacturing all glove boxes out of recycled materials, as well as keeping them as compact as possible to minimize waste.

Water pollution can also be a byproduct of the production process. Glove manufacturers can clean the wastewater exiting their facilities, ensuring that it returns to the environment even cleaner than it was before.
Focus 4: The Distribution Process
Even the process of distributing disposable gloves can be made more environmentally conscious through shifting production to local facilities rather than shipping the gloves long distances. This reduces transportation-related pollution. Distributors can also make maximize the space in each shipment, which reduces the number of containers used in the shipping process.

While different manufacturing companies are approaching this issue in different ways, the industry as a whole has made great strides in meeting the challenge of becoming more environmentally responsible. Future developments in manufacturing technology will go a long way towards providing other methods for environmentally conscious glove manufacturers to "go green" in a meaningful way.

With Christmas fast approaching, it's easy to get wrapped up (quite literally) in the material aspects that this holiday has to bring. Not only does this season make a hole in our pockets, it makes an even greater one in the environment, with this holiday creating an incredibly detrimental impact. Here are some of the ways in which Christmas causes damage to our environment each year:

Excess gifts

With the purchase of endless gifts for family members and friends comes the inevitable unwanted or excess gifts produced by companies to sustain this season's increased demand. There are invariably Christmas-specific goods produced in line with this holiday's return each year, not all of which find a home, and thus are sold cheaply following Christmas and - failing this - disposed of in landfill. This, along with the mounds of packaging from opened gifts, creates a dramatic increase in the amount going to landfill each year, with many people choosing to ignore recycling rituals in the often hurried clear-up that comes each boxing day.

Energy for lights

Christmas tree lights and decorative fairy lights inside and outside your property may look the part, creating a picture of festivity, but their environmental impact is far less pretty. Not only do these decorative additions sharply increase utility bills, but they use high levels of electricity, draining our planet's natural resources one twinkling bulb at a time.

Wrapping paper and cards

The amount of wrapping paper used each year, along with the number of Christmas cards sent and received, creates mountainous levels of excess card and paper, and requires the exploitation of our trees and forests' natural materials. In the USA, the number of cards sold during the Christmas period requires the harvest of almost 300,000 trees; levels which just cannot be sustained in our ever fragile eco-system.

Christmas trees, both real and fake

Christmas trees, though beautiful and a staple in any home at Christmas, are not beneficial to our environment in any sense. With the chopping down of live trees comes the depletion of their presence within our eco-system, meaning less oxygen is being produced from areas previously rich with these trees' shrubbery.

However, the alternative - plastic trees - utilise petroleum products (PVC) in their manufacture, requiring the exploitation of resources in their manufacturing and shipping, with harmful byproducts produced during these processes. Both types of tree are typically discarded each year, which for live trees may be understandable since they have died by the end of the festive season, but still figures suggest that of the six million trees bought on average each year, only 1.2 million will be recycled, the rest being left to rot or simply being thrown away. Artificial trees are often used again the following year, but for those which are thrown away, their fate is inevitably a landfill since they are unable to be recycled.

Travelling to see relatives

Christmas is a time to spend with your loved ones, but this doesn't - for most - mean just nipping next door. Families can be spread out all over the place, with visits requiring the use of cars, trains and other forms of transport, all of which contribute to our carbon footprints.

Glass recycling from all that booze

The festive season is a perfect opportunity to throw parties or simply consume lots of drinks with meals spent with family and friends, and subsequently the amount of glass being generated through bottles is on the increase at Christmas time.
At Brown Recycling, we are committed to providing high quality recycling services to our customers to increase recycling as much as we can to benefit the environment. For more information on our services, get in touch with our friendly team today - we're always happy to help with any enquiry.

Christmas lights are a staple during the holiday season, with the sparkling strings wrapped around trees, homes, and streets.

But the eye-catching displays do have an environmental cost.

Many major cities showcase their brightest lights during the winter months. In London, England, for example - a city known for its holiday decor - 750,000 LED light bulbs are used. And the lights go up months before Christmas.
WATCH: Satellite images show Christmas lights from space
Households across the world also use lights to celebrate their holidays - whether that's Christmas, Ramadan or Diwali.

What does all this mean for the environment? NASA has been monitoring the effects holiday lights have on the Earth from space with its Suomi NPP satellite.
READ MORE: This video proves why it's so important to water Christmas trees
The space agency's researchers first noticed an increase in lighting in the Middle East, during Islam's holy month of Ramadan.

Holiday lights illuminate the planet from space

NASA explained in a video that parts of the Earth are up to 50 per cent brighter during the weeks between U.S. Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. Suburbs in America are where some of the biggest differences are noticed.

Miguel Roman, a scientist from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, explained that the dramatic change in lighting was unexpected.

"We were really surprised to see this vibrant increase in activity during the holidays, particularly around areas in the suburbs with a lot of single-family homes, and a lot of yard space to put up lights."

Light pollution

The holiday lighting that illuminates Earth is nice to look at, but brightness in the night sky can have consequences.

According to Globe At Night, an international organization dedicated to raising awareness about light pollution, excessive outdoor lighting has numerous adverse effects on the planet: it washes out stars in the sky, disrupts ecosystems of nocturnal wildlife, and wastes energy.

It can even have bad effects on human health, making it difficult to sleep, changing the amount of melatonin produced, causing headaches and increased anxiety.

With Christmas lights, the disruption could be as small is making it difficult for a neighbour whose window is facing a brightly lit home to sleep. Or, with large displays, potentially confusing wildlife.

LED light bulbs vs. incandescent lighting vs. solar power

While London uses hundreds of thousands of bulbs, city officials say they are LED and use 75 per cent less energy than incandescent ones.

And according to University of Toronto professor Danny Harvey, who studies energy efficiency, Christmas lights aren't too damaging for the environment anymore because they are mostly LED.
READ MORE: What you need to know about LED bulbs
"It's an enormous reduction in electricity, the less electricity that is used the less the environmental impact," he told Global News.

While LED lights don't completely cut the amount of energy used by holiday lights or solve the problem of adding to light pollution, Harvey says the festive decor should stay up.
WATCH: Do you know the stories behind these Christmas tunes?
"I wouldn't tell people not to put up Christmas lights. It's only for a few weeks of the year," he explained, adding there are many other meaningful ways to conserve energy year-round.

LED lights may be slightly more expensive to purchase, but they tend to reduce electricity bills in the long run, Harvey added. They also don't heat up as much as regular bulbs that can pose a potential fire hazard.
WATCH: Montreal home's Christmas lights attracting residents from across the city
David Hardisty, a professor at the University of British Columbia who researches sustainability, explained solar powered lights may be another environmentally friendly alternative. But it depends on location.

If someone lives in a city with a lot of sun, and their property gets a lot of sunlight, solar lights may work. Hardisty says those living in places such as Vancouver (where it's often cloudy) or up north may have difficulty getting the lights to actually light up.

How to have a green Christmas

Opting for LED lighting is just one way to celebrate the season while being sustainable

BC Hydro explains that Canadians can go a few steps further, by putting timers on indoor and outdoor lights, so they aren't turned on all the time.

Hardisty notes that energy consumption is typically at a high between 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., so it's probably not a good idea to use lights at that time.
READ MORE: Here's why Target's pushback on the 'Christmas creep' might just catch on
"After 7 p.m., electricity goes down overall, so maybe if you have your lights on in the evening it's not so bad."

Those who want to conserve energy can also use fewer lights in displays, since there are plenty of other decor options such as ornaments, artificial plants and ribbons.

The UBC professor notes that more lights isn't always better for a display.
WATCH: The annual battle over Christmas tree ornaments
"That first string of lights you put out, it adds a lot of holiday cheer. Having one string of lights up versus none makes a big difference," Hardisty explains. "Having having six strings of light versus having five barely makes any difference."

"Sure, go for it. But just go for a little bit."

And finally, Canadians should shorten the amount of time lights stay up - that means actually taking them down after Christmas.

Plastic is incredibly versatile and long-lasting, finding its way into every corner of our lives. But the very qualities that make plastic so useful also make it a huge problem. Cheap and disposable, plastic has been a symbol of our throwaway culture. As a result, vast quantities pollute our world. Much of it flows into the oceans, turning them into a plastic soup. A truckload of plastic enters the ocean every single minute and UK supermarkets produce 800,000 tonnes every year. With production increasing, that's set to rise.

But plastic isn't just a problem for wildlife. The UK produces more plastic waste per person than almost any other country, and a huge amount of it is sent abroad, most of it going to countries that aren't equipped to handle it. Greenpeace investigators found British plastic waste being dumped and burned in Turkey - on the roadside, near waterways and in the open air, and people nearby have reported serious health problems.

General

Christmas is by far one of the busiest and most celebrated holidays in the UK. It is the time when we eat the most food, spend the most money, and of course, enjoy ourselves in the company of family and friends.

But while we feast, wine and dine our way through December and into January, what toll does Christmas have on the environment?

The impact of Christmas food

It could be said that overeating is a tradition in itself, but each year we munch and guzzle our way through no less than:

370 million mince pies

250 million pints of larger and beer

35 million bottles of wine

10 million turkeys

Accumulated, this means that during the Christmas season, we eat as a nation, 80 per cent more food than during the rest of the year.

The downside to this, however, is that we are producing excess waste and pollution to the point where we are binning 230,000 tonnes of food during the Christmas period. That's the equivalent of:

Or

At the price of £275 million.

In fact, the University of Manchester recently calculated that our combined Christmas dinners produce the same carbon footprint as a single car travelling 6,000 times around the world.

Of course, there are also financial impacts, and each household is expected to spend at least £170 on festive food this year, despite 35 per cent of people admitting that they throw more food away at Christmas than at any other time of the year.

The impacts of wrapping paper and packaging

As well as food, it is also important to think about the wrapping paper and packaging that we purchase, use and discard during the Christmas period.

This year, we are expected to throw away no less than 227,000 miles of wrapping paper, enough to wrap around the Island of Jersey

Additionally, if we placed all our Christmas cards alongside one another they would stretch around the world 500 times.

We also get through 4,500 tonnes of tin foil and 125,000 tonnes of plastic packaging during the Christmas season.

Greenpeace recently found that as little as 1kg of wrapping paper emits during its production process, taking 1.3kg of coal to power its production.

This does not take into account further packaging and transportation.

But what about batteries?

Now more than ever we are showering our friends and family with electronic toys and devices of great varieties. The only issue is that some of these gifts require disposable batteries.

On average, we buy ten batteries per year for gadgets and toys. In 2009, only two out of every ten of these found their way to recycling plants.

The EU Batteries Directive has set battery recycling targets at 45 per cent for 2016.

Last year the UK recycled 36 per cent of all batteries and 83 per cent of lead acid batteries.

You can now recycle used batteries in shops around the UK, as stores selling more than 32kg of batteries a day must provide instore recycling bins.

Christmas trees and decorations

It is without doubt that Christmas lights are part and parcel of most living room decorations during December and January.

Unfortunately however, Christmas tree lights tend to be switched on for an average of ten hours a day, which produces enough CO 2 to fill five party balloons, if they happen to be incandescent bulbs.

But you can still enjoy Christmas tree lights while being eco-friendly.

For example, a 70 count string of 5mm Wide Angle LEDs uses only 4.8 watts, whereas a 100 count string of incandescent mini lights would run at 40 watts.

Old incandescent bulbs can use up to 80 per cent more wattage, and at the same time, use up to 90x more power than LED bulbs.

So what about Christmas trees?

Many people have short-lived debates over buying fake or real Christmas trees, but this decision has consequences for the environment.

Each year we buy 6-8 million real Christmas trees, with 5.3 million households opting for artificial trees:

Artificial trees:

Produced in South Korea, Taiwan or China, and are shipped thousands of miles to get to your home.

Are non-biodegradable, so are sent to landfill or are incinerated.

Real Christmas trees:

Are grown over a period of 7 to 10 years.

Help protect and stabilise soil.

Are biodegradable.

Also need to be transported, but at much shorter distances.

Is Christmas really that bad?

Waste is important and will have an important part to play in our future too, but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't enjoy Christmas, or that we should feel guilty about wrapping presents for our friends and family.

With that in mind, however, here is a table of the average extra waste generated over the Christmas period each year, based on January rubbish and recycling collections:

For those who want to know more about how to prevent extra waste, DEFRA has recently launched its Waste Prevention Programme in partnership with WRAP.

The BBC also provides guidance on how to reduce Christmas waste.
