How mattresses can solve hunger
Syrian refugees from the Zaatari camp in Jordan and scientists from Sheffield University are working together to find a way to grow fresh and healthy food with nothing but water and old mattress foam.
These "recycled gardens" use mattresses instead of dirt, which solves two problems in one: they reuse the mountain of plastic mattresses that have been stacked in the warehouse and allow everyone to grow fresh food in a desert and crowded environment.
Victoria Gill went to the Jordan camp to see how it works.

How mattresses can relieve hunger
The refugees from the Za'atari camp in Jordan and a team of scientists from Sheffield in the UK work together to grow fresh food from the old moss mattress.
Moss serves as a substrate instead of soil in a system called hydroponics and solves two problems in one: recycling old mattresses piled up in the warehouse and creating a way to grow fresh food in a place where the land is closed agriculture is poor and too salty for anyone
Victoria Gill went to the Jordan camp to see how it works.

A hidden tunnel network under London supplies the network.
With the Londoners encouraged to buy more electric cars and London that needs more energy, "electric tunnels" were created under the city streets.
In the first phase, which was completed in 2018, 32 km of tunnels were built with high-voltage cables. The next step should begin construction this year.

Antarctic melt: Excursion to the apocalyptic glacier
Glaciologists have called the Thwaites Glacier the "most important" glacier in the world, the "most risky" glacier and even the "apocalyptic" glacier.
Scientists from Great Britain and the USA are studying changes in glaciers as part of the Thwaites Glacier International Collaboration.
BBC chief environmental correspondent Justin Rowlatt visited the project.
Snot and drifting snow: extreme climate science
"Snotsicle" - clearly unattractive amounts of frozen mucus - are just a few of the challenges facing science in a place as extreme as Antarctica.
Scientists fear a catastrophic collapse of the Thwaites glacier.
West Antarctic ice has a potential sea level rise of more than three meters, enough to flood many large cities around the world and drive hundreds of millions of people out of their homes.
The BBC's main environmental correspondent, Justin Rowlatt, has traveled with a team of scientists who are part of a US $ 50 million (£ 38 million) joint project between the United States and the United Kingdom.
But as he found out, doing science in one of the most extreme environments on earth is not easy.

China's struggle to escape coal
China is a country in the middle of a global struggle: to develop, but also to be green.
It currently uses as much coal as the rest of the world, but is also a global leader in wind and solar production. According to the International Energy Agency, China will account for 40% of the global expansion of renewable energies between 2019 and 2024.
As the economy slows, some coal mines are now reopening, and the country's prime minister, Li Keqiang, has called on energy officials to promote coal energy. So is China coal addicted?

Fight against space debris in Earth orbit
Here's a test question: What do the use of road navigation systems, global time consistency and the availability of accurate stock market data have in common? The answer is that everyone relies on working satellites. However, an increasing amount of environmentally harmful waste from space poses a risk to all of these services. For example, a Japanese company, Astroscale, was working on ways to remove space debris. The founder and CEO, Nobu Okada, explains.
