It's Official. Leaded Gas Use Has Been Eradicated Worldwide
The UNEP calculated its dollar amount of savings from a 2010 study executed by scientists working at California State University, in Northridge. Primary factors in the study included lower medical costs, the pros of a healthier global economy, and a drop in criminal activity. Believe it or not, exposure to leaded fuel was correlated with higher crime rates. While the eradication of leaded fuel is a major landmark achievement for every nation on Earth, the agency also warned that fossil fuel use must still be substantially reduced if we can venture to hope for a brighter future than the one suggested in recent and forthcoming climate change disasters. -- Interesting Engineering
Apple pledges $30 million towards racial injustice
After pledging $100 million to the issue in the wake of George Floyd’s death last year, tech giant Apple Inc. has pledged yet another sum, this time of a smaller $30 million towards racial injustice. The sum will apparently be directed towards a range of causes, which will include a Global Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) Equity Innovation Hub which is to be set up in Los Angeles at the California State University Northridge. The idea behind the same is to eventually set up similar regional hubs at other universities, along with an expansion of the company’s work in bringing community coding centers to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The latter will apparently be done through the addition of 11 more schools to the roster. -- TechStory
