Sustainability Spotlight
A living sculpture called ‘The Tree of Trees’ is being constructed outside of Buckingham Palace this week to mark the Queen’s Jubilee. The sculpture itself is 69ft tall and comprises of 350 British-grown trees. The aim of the eye-catching eco-sculpture is to amplify the Queen’s ‘Green Canopy Initiative’ whereby individuals, schools, corporates, villages and cities are being encouraged to plant a tree in the coming planting season, with the target of building one million trees.
Crackling coral
Oceanographers believe that monitoring the sounds of coral reefs could be the key to monitoring the health of each ecosystem, without the need for expensive equipment. Research suggests that degraded coral does not sound as ‘crackling’ as healthy ones.
Meteor shower alert
According to NASA there could be a meteor shower this weekend, named the Tau Herculid shower. This shower is thought to originate from a shattered comet with the nickname “SW3” that was discovered in 1930 and used to orbit the Sun every 5.4 years.
