And with 18 wins, “Shogun” set a new record for most wins by a single show during any awards season — it’s also the first best drama Emmy winner in which Japanese, not English, is the dominant language.

To help fight world hunger, scientists created a new protein product using easy-to-source ingredients
A research team at Germany’s University of Tübingen recently created a new protein product using some easy-to-source ingredients — a few you can even get from thin air.
Using just carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen, and a little electricity, added to microbes and some baker’s yeast, the team created a sustainable, nutrient-rich protein substitute full of vitamin B9.
And the protein content in their yeast product not only met that of sources like beef, pork, fish, or lentils — but surpassed it (by a lot).
Why is this good news? The bacterium deployed in this research could lead food scientists to create a vegan meat substitute, or even offer a long-term, climate-friendly solution to ending the global hunger crisis.

As part of a project to increase forest cover in northern England, more than 1.9 million trees were planted in 2023
In 2023 alone, more than 1.9 million trees were planted across northern England — the most in a single year as part of a reforestation project to boost woodland cover in the region.
When complete, the Northern Forest project will have planted 50 million trees from coast to coast. Since 2018, nearly 8 million trees total have been planted.
At the time the project started tree cover was just 7.6% — much lower than the 13% national average. In all of England, tree-planting rates grew by 52% in the past year, with 5,529 hectares of new forest planted.

What’s good?
While I love non-meat sources of protein on their own, I actually don’t mind the taste of meat alternatives in cooking either!
