STORY: This machine is removing harmful carbon dioxidefrom the air and turning it into carbonLocation: Karlsruhe, Germany(Benjamin Dietrich, Manager, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)"With our technology here, we want to extract CO2 from the ambient air and then use the process to produce carbon, which serves as a valuable product. At the same time, because we are extracting the CO2 from the air, we have then produced negative emissions."The trial project is part of an effort to helpmitigate greenhouse gas emissionsand also address rising scarcity of raw materials"We make an effective contribution to climate protection, namely that we recover the CO2 that has already been emitted. In this way we can slow down climate change. And on the other hand, we are also producing a valuable product for the chemical industry, which is not based on fossil fuels."Raw carbon is valuable in many industrial productsThe plant is currently producing just over a pound of carbon each day

No rink? No problem! A figure skater in Northlake, Texas, took to the streets on Tuesday, January 31, when icy weather meant she couldn’t make it to her usual practice spot.This footage was filmed by Elisa Copeland of her 14-year-old daughter, Sophie, who is currently training for an ice-skating competition.“An ice storm shut down the roads and schools in our community and we weren’t able to get to the rink, which is 45 minutes away,” Copeland told Storyful. “It’s competition season and my daughter, Sophie, has a very limited window to practice before her competition on February 18th.”Sophie instead used the weather to her advantage, turning Pecan Square into her own ice rink.“The ice was so thick so we decided to walk down to the town square in our neighborhood and practice,” Copeland said.
