Study finds twice as many cellulose fibers as microplastics in the Atlantic Ocean

Green Car Congress

A study by three French institutes—Ifremer, the University of Bordeaux and the IRD (a public research institution)—has found that the surface water of the Atlantic Ocean is twice as polluted by cellulose fibers as it is by microplastics. This unique set of data casts doubt then over the internal dynamics of the gyre.

EV myths busted: Are electric vehicles actually good for the environment?

Drive Electric

To answer these questions, we collaborated with Envirostrat to investigate some of the most common questions and concerns about the environmental impact that increased EV uptake will have on NZ, and in particular, how they really compare to ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles). Here’s what we discovered. WHAT EV MYTHS HAVE WE COVERED?
