Sean Jones, Circular Technology Lead at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, reflects on a day spent disassembling phones with industry teams and iFixit. The challenge lies in the glue used to assemble phones, making repairs costly and often leading to device disposal. Additionally, some components are digitally locked, preventing unauthorized replacements from functioning.

However, improved design practices and emerging right-to-repair laws offer hope for extending the life cycles of critical materials in our devices. Tune in to the latest episode of The Circular Economy Show for more insights.

In this episode of Earthsayers in Conversation, host Shannon interviews Alex, a pediatric nurse and activist with the Handmaids of Minnesota. What started as a protest on International Women's Day in 2025 has evolved into a movement using the imagery from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale to highlight the erosion of women's rights in America. The group’s uniform symbolizes the silencing of women, with red cloaks and white bonnets representing a world where women are seen but not heard.

Alex shares impactful stories from her activism, including supporting a fellow nurse in a domestic violence case and witnessing tragedies firsthand. She discusses the challenges of being a visible protester and the need for inclusivity in the movement. Looking forward, Alex envisions a shift from silent protest to active rebellion, while also sharing her creative outlets like her podcast Once in a Millennial.

Are your fruits and vegetables ripening or spoiling too quickly? The issue may lie in how you store them. In this episode of Science and Cooking, chef Heinz Wuth explains ethylene, a natural gas

Are your fruits and vegetables ripening or spoiling too quickly? The issue may lie in how you store them. In this episode of Science and Cooking, chef Heinz Wuth explains ethylene, a natural gas released by certain foods like bananas and avocados that accelerates ripening in other produce.

Some vegetables, such as cucumbers and leafy greens, are particularly sensitive to ethylene. To keep your produce fresh longer and reduce food waste, store certain items separately, refrigerate them, and manage moisture levels. On World Food Day 2026, the FAO encourages us to innovate in food preservation by understanding our food better.
