Feather waste, a keratin-based byproduct of the food industry, poses a significant environmental challenge due to its slow decomposition. Current disposal methods often involve burning or chemical treatment. Microorganisms offer a more sustainable solution for breaking down this stubborn waste.

Beti, a Young Researcher at the Biotechnical Faculty, is passionate about microbiology. Her doctoral research focuses on using microbes to decompose keratin waste in the agro-industry. Beyond her lab work, Beti actively promotes science awareness, participating in events like the European Science Slam where she represented Slovenia. Her vision is to translate laboratory projects into practical applications, guided by the idea: "For those who are curious, the whole world is a laboratory."

UN Special Envoy for the Ocean, Peter Thomson, stresses the fundamental connection between a healthy ocean and a healthy planet. He asserts that a thriving planetary ecosystem is unattainable

UN Special Envoy for the Ocean, Peter Thomson, stresses the fundamental connection between a healthy ocean and a healthy planet. He asserts that a thriving planetary ecosystem is unattainable without a robust ocean ecosystem.

Thomson calls upon countries, companies, and individuals to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This urgent appeal supports SDG 14, "Life Below Water," and the global movement to #SaveOurOcean.

Each year, millions of pounds of clothing are landfilled or burned globally, with less than 1% recycled into new garments. Campaigns like Wear Next (New York) and Love Not Landfill (London)

Each year, millions of pounds of clothing are landfilled or burned globally, with less than 1% recycled into new garments. Campaigns like Wear Next (New York) and Love Not Landfill (London) demonstrate how diverting clothes through swapping, selling, donating, or recycling can prevent them from becoming waste.

Generational pressure, spearheaded by young activists like Greta Thunberg, is the crucial driver for climate change policy. Daniel C. Esty, a Yale Professor of Environmental Law and Policy, argues

Generational pressure, spearheaded by young activists like Greta Thunberg, is the crucial driver for climate change policy. Daniel C. Esty, a Yale Professor of Environmental Law and Policy, argues that this shift in values, viewing planetary contamination as a moral wrong, is key to progress. He likens it to the societal transformation that made smoking unacceptable.

Esty, editor of "A Better Planet: 40 Big Ideas for a Sustainable Future," emphasizes that transformational change is often driven by generational shifts. For a sustainable future, energy companies must reimagine their role and become part of the solution to this global crisis.

A 2019 video revealed a frightening climate truth: a 2°C global temperature increase, labeled the "threshold of catastrophe," represents the best-case scenario. Without immediate action, the planet is on track for a 4°C rise this century, risking $600 trillion in damages, doubled warfare, and a refugee crisis 100 times worse than the Syrian exodus.

David Wallace-Wells, who explores even higher increases like 8°C and 13°C, stresses that these horrifying predictions should not induce complacency. Instead, he urges a more intense focus on the issue.
