The world's first-ever plastic road has been unveiled in the Dutch city of Zwolle. The 30-metre (98ft) long bike path is made out of 100 percent plastic recyclables and Wavin, the Dutch company behind the invention, say it is expected to last three times longer than a normal paved road, at half the cost.
Architectural firm People's Industrial Design Office has designed a community garden in Beijing which is transported around the big city by bicycle to give big city dwellers with no access to their own garden a taste of rural farming. The mobile farm, dubbed 'Bike Share Farm', sits on top of two bicycles and can be cycled from place to place. Pipes run across the metal base with holes for potted plants while solar panels provide energy for the watering system.
Chinese solar power company Panda Green Energy recently opened the most adorable green energy solar power plant in the shape of China's national animal, the beloved panda bear. The unique shape of the huge solar farm can only be seen from the air, as shown in drone footage from Datong filmed on Tuesday. Panda Green Energy used a combination of darker monocrystalline silicon and white thin film solar cells to create the unique shape, in what is a world's first for solar farms.
The zero-fuel airplane Solar Impulse 2 landed in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday night, completing at 35,000 kilometer trip across all the continents of the earth powered only by sunlight. Mission Control in Monaco cheered as Balloonist Bertrand Piccard piloted the craft back to the same location from which it took off back in March 2015. Although its 236 foot wingspan is wider than a 747 jumbo jet, the Solar Impulse weighs only 2.3 tons.
Solar-powered plane completes first fuel-free flight around the globe. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
