  • Are Low-Emission Zones Freeing European Cities from Smog?

    European cities have implemented low-emission zones that gradually restrict older, polluting vehicles from entering designated urban areas, in an effort to reduce air pollution. While effectiveness varies by region, since implementing these zones, Brussels has seen a 36% reduction in nitrogen oxide levels over five years, and air quality improvements extending up to five kilometers beyond the zone boundaries.

  • The Forest That Proves It: How Sudbury Reclaimed a Moonscape

    The Regreening Sudbury Project transformed a lunar-like wasteland into thriving forest through decades of systematic tree planting (10+ million trees), soil amendments, and transparent open-data tracking. This resulted in a 98% reduction in air pollution and 50% recovery of fish populations while creating a replicable model for ecological restoration.
