Canada is building the world’s first full-sized, zero-carbon cement plant
With the signing of a $275 million deal between the Canadian government and materials supplier, the world’s first full-scale, carbon-neutral cement plant is a go: and it could be operational within three years.
The new cement manufacturing facility will be fitted with a carbon capture, utilization, and storage system that will absorb 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year — the equivalent of taking 300,000 cars off the road.
It will boast a 95% capture rate, and all that captured carbon will be injected several kilometers underground.
Why is this good news?Cement is an incredibly carbon-intensive component of concrete, which is responsible for an estimated 7% of emissions globally. This landmark facility could lay the groundwork for future projects: reducing emissions critical to meeting net-zero commitments in Canada and potentially around the world.
Last year, the women’s final had more viewers than the men’s for the first time since its inception in 1982 — with 18.9 million viewers compared to 14.8. That viewership total was almost double the 2023 women’s championship game, which had almost 10 million viewers.
While stars (and rivalries) like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese helped drive those stats in both 2023 and 2024, even with their graduation to the WNBA, women’s college basketball viewership is still up 3% over last season.
“Everything is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection”
by John Green
Young adult readers likely know John Green for his teen romance “The Fault in Our Stars,” but Green’s newest book — and second work of nonfiction — is now officially available!
“Everything is Tuberculosis” details the experiences of a young TB patient named Henry, who Green met in 2019 when traveling with Partners in Health, a global nonprofit Green and his brother, Hank, have long supported.
Why we’re reading: Via countless TikToks about the topic, a full-length introductory lecture on TB, and successful internet campaigns lobbying pharmaceutical companies to make TB testing and treatment more accessible, Green has become the spokesperson for TB — and we can’t wait to dive into the book installment.
