With our current technology, areas in the ocean could be used to produce food without freshwater or fertilisers. Additionally, seaweed farms have the potential to minimize our carbon footprints and increase biodiversity. Seaweed farming can also give us clean ocean water, and provide a sustainable natural material that can be used for food as well as other important resources such as medicines, packaging, and material for clothing and accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/silas-baisch-DZu6PYdjXQ8-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9433 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/silas-baisch-DZu6PYdjXQ8-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/silas-baisch-DZu6PYdjXQ8-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/silas-baisch-DZu6PYdjXQ8-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/silas-baisch-DZu6PYdjXQ8-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/silas-baisch-DZu6PYdjXQ8-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Seaweed in the ocean &#8211; Courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/DZu6PYdjXQ8\">Unsplash.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The truth about biodegradable plastics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Biodegradable plastic isn&#8217;t actually always as good as you may think. Bioplastics are generally considered to be more sustainable than ordinary plastics. But if you take the material&#8217;s life cycle into consideration, it&#8217;s a little more complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bioplastics do produce less greenhouse gas emissions and usually degrade quicker than other plastics. However, there are a few problems. Firstly, biodegradable plastics can only be taken to a few special recycling centres, which means the transport distance may be longer. Secondly, when bioplastics aren&#8217;t discarded properly (which does happen!), they can harm the whole recycling process. They sometimes even end up in landfill and degrade at the same level as old plastics. When you next need to buy plastic, be sure to buy the easily degradable version. But the best option would be, hands down, to just skip the plastic altogether if possible!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dustan-woodhouse-RUqoVelx59I-unsplash-1024x768-1.jpg\" alt=\"plastics on the breach side\" class=\"wp-image-13540 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dustan-woodhouse-RUqoVelx59I-unsplash-1024x768-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dustan-woodhouse-RUqoVelx59I-unsplash-1024x768-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/dustan-woodhouse-RUqoVelx59I-unsplash-1024x768-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Plastics in the landfill &#8211; Courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/RUqoVelx59I\">Unsplash.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why you should consider purchasing a laptop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A laptop is a significantly more eco-friendly choice than a desktop computer. Laptops use around 50% less energy, which means desktop computers produce much more carbon. Here&#8217;s another point, desktops are also heavier and bigger so they use more resources to build them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Top tip!<\/em> I&#8217;m not suggesting that laptops are great for the environment either, no computers are. But it&#8217;s convenient for most businesses in the modern world. Just remember to unplug\/switch off the charger when not using your laptop. Even small things like this do add up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wave power could be the best option to produce energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wave power is something people don&#8217;t really talk about. Can waves in the sea help us solve the global energy crisis? This is a very interesting topic. We are well aware that solar and wind power are both great ways to move forward for a sustainable planet. However, wave power could be a more reliable resource. Waves are formed when the wind blows over the surface of the water, and to capture the energy we need devices that are called Wave Energy Converters. The devices can capture the energy from waves and then turn it into electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many countries in the world are actually developing wave power already &#8211; including Australia, China, Denmark, Italy, Korea, Portugal, the UK, and the US. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/jeremy-bishop-iftBhUFfecE-unsplash-1024x768-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ocean with wind waves\" class=\"wp-image-13589 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/jeremy-bishop-iftBhUFfecE-unsplash-1024x768-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/jeremy-bishop-iftBhUFfecE-unsplash-1024x768-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/jeremy-bishop-iftBhUFfecE-unsplash-1024x768-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Waves &#8211; Courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/iftBhUFfecE\">Unsplash.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recycling one aluminium can save enough energy to run a TV for three hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find recycling bins pretty much everywhere: we see them on the streets, in the office, and at home &#8211; it shouldn&#8217;t be that hard to recycle things then, right?  The way to get more people to recycle is to educate them on its benefits. For example, how much energy can be saved by recycling.
