The mayor of Prague dumped 4 tonnes of clothes in the city centre outside of a shopping mall. To show us the amount of textile waste a European family of 4?produces in their lifetime. 100 billion new clothes are made each year. Only 1% is recycled. That's how we get "fashion graveyards" visible from space (Chile's Atacama Desert) 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions Over-consumption of natural resources Water pollution A simple action we all can take: - Shop less, second-hand where possible, and use our clothes for longer. Bravo, Prague ?? I'd love to see some stats on how this installation affects people's shopping decisions this week... #Fashion #TextileWaste #BuyLess

I am pleased to share an exciting update on #sustainability, an important topic in today's business aviation landscape. Last month, Gulfstream Aerospace partnered with NASA, the FAA, the Missouri University of Science and Technology any many others to conduct ground emissions testing of 100% neat sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) containing zero sulfur. The testing took place on an all-new #G700. ? At Gulfstream, we are innovating for a sustainable future and are proud of our role in advancing this body of research on SAF. Preliminary results from this endeavor are promising and have indicated minimal to no sulfuric fuel contamination, illustrating reduced greenhouse gas production. The results also demonstrated potential for 100% SAF to improve local air quality near airports as well as reducing the formation of condensation trails. ? Many thanks to our dedicated research partners who joined us for this project. Tests like these help us to better understand fuel properties and their environmental characteristics which is key to driving positive environmental change in business aviation.

In this dramatic video, we witness a military helicopter landing on the fantail of a ship in stormy weather, showcasing the incredible skill and precision required for such a challenging maneuver. With waves crashing against the hull and the ship rolling in turbulent seas, the pilots expertly bring the helicopter down, emphasizing the importance of training, teamwork, and technology in military operations. These operations are critical in combat and humanitarian missions, often requiring rapid deployment and extraction in less-than-ideal conditions. Landing a helicopter on a moving ship in a storm demands flawless piloting and exceptional coordination between the flight crew and the ship’s personnel. It’s a true testament to the dedication and resilience of the armed forces, always ready to operate in the toughest environments. This video captures a breathtaking moment of bravery and expertise, reminding us of the countless unseen daily challenges that military personnel overcome.

Accelera by Cummins officially holds the Guinness World Records title for the longest drive of a fuel cell heavy-duty truck on a single fill of hydrogen! ?? This title was set in Sacramento, California (USA) on Oct. 25, 2024. This 1,806-mile milestone isn’t just for us — it’s for the future of clean energy in the transportation industry. We’re raising the bar and driving the future of sustainable technology. Thank you to the partners who helped make the H2Rescue demonstration vehicle possible: DHS Science and Technology Directorate and U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) #AccelerateTheShift #hydrogenfuelcells #recordset #GuinnessWorldRecords
