In 1991, Switzerland became one of the first countries in the world to implement an e-waste recycling system, in which the disposal price is paid in advance when a product is acquired. All trash electrical and electronic equipment can now be dropped off for free at collection and sales points, where it will be professionally and environmentally friendly disposed of.
Other countries have followed suit to some extent, but the United Nations Environment Programme estimates that up to 90% of the world's e-waste is illegally transferred. WEEE is increasingly being imported from developed countries, particularly to Asia and Africa, and is frequently misdeclared. More...

What is soil?
Soil is so very important because we need it to survive. Without it we wouldn't have any food nor nature,
which can provide us with oxygen.
What are its functions?
The soil regulates the natural cycles of water, air and orgaic and mineral matter. It filters and purifies water, stores and breaks down substances and is therefore a vital link in the constant flow of energy and matter throughout the Earth's entire ecosystem.

Audio: Elevator pitch
Many big car companys like Mazda, VW-AUDI Group or japanese companies like Honda are developing "E-Fuel" cars. Also BMW is looking into the technology and trying to get petrol cars with "2-Butanol". These cars should use very little and organic fuel which would be really environment friendly. This could be a great alternative for the electrical cars, which sometimes are far worse for the enviroment as a normal petrol car. Currently the VW-AUDI Group is looking forward to release their first full E-Fuel 911 Porsche in 2025.
Is E-Fuel really an alternative? Could current petrol cars getting an "upgrade" for E-Fuel? Are electric cars really good with the lithium batteries?
