These latest must-have sneakers may not be to everyone's taste, but for beer lovers, they could really raise the bar. Heineken has managed to incorporate beer into the soles of a pair of sneakers to promote its new lager. Forget sneakers with soles that give off flashes of light with each step, or even those with built-in glitter. While fashion design may not be its usual territory, there's no doubt that Heineken has pulled out all the stops to promote its latest lager, Heineken Silver. But rather than using its prime product to fill a pint glass, the Dutch brewing giant has incorporated the b...

Representing 10.5% of the world's wine consumption, rosé is one of the most striking trends, accounting for 23.6 million hectoliters drank in 2019 compared to 19.6 million in 2002. And while this type of wine doesn't need a boost to make a mark on drinking habits, it does tend to regularly inspire new recipes, the latest of which was born on TikTok. In the early 2010s, when rosé consumption experienced a boom, rising from 10.8% of the total volume of wine consumed in 1990 to more than 25% in 2011, people were (already) having fun with the beverage, flavoring the tipple to make it more accessib...

Capture one of the most powerful greenhouse gases and convert it into biodiesel, while reducing the energy costs of the proces: this is a project that a team of Brazilian researchers is currently working on. While carbon dioxide is likely the first gas that comes to mind when we talk about global warming, methane is also highly problematic. Emissions from this powerful greenhouse gas are 25 times more potent than those of CO2 when it comes to trapping heat in the atmosphere. As the world works on transitioning to renewable energies, finding a way to use and neutralize the methane released int...

British retailer Waitrose said on Monday it was removing "best before" dates from almost 500 fresh products in its supermarkets, in a bit to curb food waste. "Best before" dates tells customers food is at its optimal before this date, but is still fine to eat for a time afterwards. From September the upmarket chain will remove the label from a range of packaged fresh fruit, herbs and vegetables. "UK households throw away 4.5 millions tonnes of edible food every year, meaning that all the energy and resources used in food production is wasted," said Marija Rompani, director of sustainability an...

Eat less sugar to preserve the planet... that's what some Spanish researchers are suggesting after concluding a study. They advise repurposing sugar crop production for non-food purposes.

Uber on Friday said it will let drivers in the United States see trip details before deciding whether to accept them -- a new feature long sought by drivers. A common lament by drivers at the app-summoned ride platform has been that they have to accept a request before learning where trips will take them, or how profitable they will be. "Our new trip request screen makes it easier for drivers to decide if a trip is worth their time and effort by providing all the details -- including exactly how much they'll earn and where they're going -- upfront," chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi said in a ...

From spirulina to soy, chia seeds and squash, alternatives to meat are popular because they offer a new way to fill up on protein. But if you've decided to choose these options to reduce the environmental impact of your diet, bear in mind that eating too much of these foods might not be so wise either. In fact, it could contribute to nitrogen pollution. We get protein from rib-eye, but also from fried eggs, a bowl of lentils or a salad of beansprouts. Protein is an essential part of our diet, helping the body to build muscle tissue and to renew cells in bones, hair and nails. Whether of animal...

Could rethinking the breathalyzer make it more practical to monitor your alcohol consumption while out and about? During a music festival in Finland earlier this summer, those attending wore a wristband that they could lick to check their blood alcohol concentration. Whether at a (too) drunken party or in the middle of a festival, the breathalyzer's lack of practicality is a brake on the use of this essential self-testing tool, especially before getting behind the wheel. We don't necessarily think of slipping one into our bag or pocket before a night out. But rethinking devices to monitor alco...
