Where Food Sustainability and Disability Clash.
Disabled people are often blamed for utilizing unsustainable food systems that help them stay alive. Take the straw ban, which notoriously pitted those who need bendable, disposable plastic straws to safely eat and drink against those who view straws as a wasteful convenience item.
The challenge of being disabled and green.
Sam Little, a disabled green enthusiast from Aberdeenshire, shares how she builds eco-friendliness into her life even though it is often a less accessible option.
This guide shows you which sustainability actions actually make a difference, how to reduce your carbon footprint in everyday life, and where you can start immediately without being perfect.

A barrier has been created that effectively divides the wood. What was once one habitat has become two smaller habitats.
Switzerland turns train tracks into solar power plants.
SNCF tests SOLVEIG reversible solar panel deployment.
SNCF Group has announced an innovative experiment under its “ferrovoltaic” initiative, aimed at integrating renewable energy systems within the rail ecosystem. The SOLVEIG system is a reversible solar panel deployment solution designed to harness solar energy on unused railway lines while minimizing environmental impact.
