Disposable tableware has long become part of everyday life — from street food and coffee to go to large events and delivery services. It is often perceived as a symbol of convenience and hygiene, especially in the context of a fast-paced lifestyle. However, behind this apparent practicality lie serious environmental consequences that are increasingly becoming…
Solar energy has long moved beyond the realm of futuristic concepts and environmental activism slogans. For many homeowners today, solar panels represent a concrete option for reducing energy costs, increasing energy independence, and contributing to a more sustainable energy system. This topic is especially relevant for private homeowners who are weighing long-term investments and trying…
Urban sustainability is often discussed in terms of large-scale policies, technological innovation, and infrastructure projects. While these factors matter, they are only part of the picture. Cities are also shaped every day by millions of small, almost invisible decisions made by their residents. Choices about energy use, water consumption, transportation, and food collectively determine how…
Private electric transport is often presented as one of the key solutions to modern environmental challenges. Electric cars, scooters, bikes, and personal mobility devices are increasingly visible in cities around the world, promoted as clean alternatives to gasoline-powered vehicles. Governments subsidize them, companies invest heavily in their development, and consumers are encouraged to switch in…
Cities are more than collections of buildings, roads, and infrastructure. They are living systems that constantly influence how people think, move, and behave. Every day, often without realizing it, we respond to visual cues in our environment: the colors of buildings, the layout of streets, the presence of green spaces, and the design of public…
Modern people spend up to 80–90 percent of their lives indoors, especially in urban environments. Apartments are no longer just places for rest; they function as workspaces, learning environments, and centers of daily life. As a result, the quality of indoor air, temperature, humidity, and building materials has a direct impact on human health, well-being,…
Cities never truly sleep — and not just metaphorically. Traffic, construction, HVAC systems, music from cafés, constant human flow — all these sounds form a continuous acoustic background that residents gradually get used to. But getting used to something doesn’t mean it becomes harmless. Research from the last decade shows that chronic urban noise is…
In a world where environmental responsibility has become a central expectation, corporations increasingly present themselves as champions of sustainability. They publish glossy sustainability reports, release ambitious climate goals, and position themselves as leaders of ecological transformation. ESG—Environmental, Social, and Governance performance—has become a communication tool as essential as financial reporting. Almost every major company now…
Over the past two decades, environmental issues have become an essential part of global discourse. News about climate disasters, endangered species, polluted rivers, and melting glaciers appears daily, shaping not only public attitudes but also people’s mental health. Psychologists and researchers increasingly discuss a new kind of emotional experience — eco-anxiety, a form of anxiety…
Small and medium-sized cities with populations between 50,000 and 500,000 are emerging as key players in the global transition toward sustainable mobility. Unlike large metropolitan areas burdened by decades of car-centric planning and heavy infrastructural complexity, these cities often have more flexibility. Their compact size, tighter social connections and more manageable infrastructural needs make them…
