Due to cost, power, spectrum, reach and the aging 2G technology, carriers believe that NB-IoT networks can offer enough flexibility to meet not just current IoT use cases but those that have not yet been invented.
Trying to Survive a Rigged Recycling Game
Are you recycling the way you should be? A recent paper published in Science Advances indicates that you might not be, and will probably never recycle correctly. Despite single stream recycling processes, which aimed to make recycling easier, the act of recycling has actually become near impossible. The paper even calls plastic recycling a ‘rigged game,’ where no matter what solution we propose, plastic pollution will always be around in some form or another. Nonetheless, there are still a few actions we can take to help stem the tide.
