Biodegradable Golf Balls: Eco-friendly Solution for every Golfer

Did you know that every year thousands of golf balls are lost in our planet's waterways? This probably does not surprise anyone who plays golf. What harm could a little golf ball do anyways? Well, new studies are coming to light that the little golf ball is a big problem. As they break down they release their contents into the ecosystem. A modern golf ball is made from the following: thermoplastics, zinc oxide, zinc acrylate, benzoyl peroxide, heavy metals, polybutadiene, and other secret combinations of exotic materials not disclosed by the manufacturer. These are not good for the planet! Don't forget about the plastic portion of the ball either. As it breaks down the plastic turns into microplastics. From the deepest depths of the ocean to the snow of the Artic microplastics have been found by pollution researchers to invade every corner of our planet. The size of the current microplastic pollution problem is huge! Estimates are between 15 trillion and 51 trillion microplasti...

Urban Sprawl: An Emerging Issue

  Humans are becoming an increasingly urban species. They want to move to metropolitan cities and urban centres for better jobs opportunities or for the excitement of the city life. And this possess a really challenging developmental question of where are all these people going to go and if you live in a city, you might have noticed the expansion and the development of cities to suburbs and this is what we call urban sprawl. In 1937, Earle Draper - one of the first city planners in the south-eastern United States coined the term ‘sprawl.’ The urban sprawl is essentially the geographical expansion of a city or town and is often characterised as low density development, meaning housing is being built on really large land areas or scattered land locks, single use zoning and is also characterised by the increased reliance on private automobiles for each person transportation. The sprawl generally takes place in radial course around the city centre or in linear direction along the highw...

Urban Heat Islands: A Cause of Concern

  Haphazard development in urban areas has led to undesirable changes in the landscape. The areas which were once open land or covered with vegetation have been converted into concrete forests, asphalt covered roads, sidewalks and other infrastructure. The urbanization leads to the formation of Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) - the phenomenon referring to warmer temperature in the city relative to outlying rural areas. According to the Environment Protection Agency , bigger cities in US have air temperature up to 5ºC more than the nearby natural land cover. UHIs effects are most intense during the clear sky and calm winds as heavy cloud cover prevents solar radiation to reach earth surface, reducing day time warming in cities and strong winds accelerate atmospheric mixing, decreasing urban rural temperature gradient. How does it form? There are various factors that contribute to the formation of UHIs but the significant causes of UHIs formation are urban developments by changing in...
