This method is sustainable&nbsp;<br>It is released as a gas when burning fossil fuels. When burning them it would release carbon dioxide ect that harms the environment and the fossil fuels which are unrenewable are depleted.</div>]]></description>

However, there are downsides, mainly it requires farmland to produce the corn, which can affect the environment around it.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Asphalt - Sam &amp; Jamie</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Asphalt is a varying number of atoms that is left over in the process of of refining crude oil. The molecule is commonly used for road pavement, and is important for modern society. Because asphalt is a biproduct of crude oil refinement, it is currently unrenewable. Crude oil is responsible for a vast array of different hydrocarbons that can be utilised for many purposes, such as plastics, and pharmaceutical products. Since crude oil is unsustainable, a new method of creating an asphalt-like product is necessary.&nbsp;<br><br>Bioaspalt can be made through a mixture of plant based material, that is much safer for the environment. for instance, it can be made from sugars, molasses, rice, corn, potato starch, natural tree, gum resins and vegetable oil, among other things. Bioasphalt can also be made from plant waste, which is important for recycling efforts around the world. Interestingly, bioasphalt can also be coloured, which means that roads can be coloured. Since black absorbs heat effectively, roads can be coloured to absourb light less efficiently.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>2) Plastics are an everyday used product that increases our chance of safety and efficiency. They're used in every sector of our lives such as product packaging (food, material), construction, electronics (wire coverage) and machinery product such as phones/cars. Thus making it one of the most essential product for man-use.&nbsp;<br>3) Almost all plastic is derived from materials (like ethylene and propylene) made from fossil fuels (mostly oil and gas).the benefits are plastic have the&nbsp; low density it’s easy to take but The process of extracting and transporting those fuels, then manufacturing plastic creates billions of tonnes of greenhouse gases.&nbsp;<br>4) Bioplastic or biobased plastic comes from algae, sugarcane sources which can be de-couple (separate) plastic production from the impacts of fossil fuels. Plastics generate environmental hazards by spreading dangerous chemicals into the soil around them, which usually leaks into nearby water sources like the groundwater and ecosystems. They include endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which have been connected to several hazard health risks, including breast cancer, obesity/diabetes, stroke, and infertility.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>British Airways has signed a deal for aircraft fuel made from recycled cooking oils and other household waste to be produced at scale in the UK and to be in use as early as 2022 to help power its flights.<br>The deal with the Phillips 66 Humber refinery will bring commercial production of greener jet fuel to the UK earlier than anticipated. While SAFs still produce carbon emissions in flight, the recycling reduces “lifecycle CO<sub>2</sub> emissions” by more than 80% compared with traditional jet fuel, the airlines say.</div>]]></description>
