Dubai to Create World’s First Refrigerated Beach
Most of the time here at Cleantechnica, we report on important technical advances and breakthroughs that help mankind to reduce its harmful impact on the environment. Once in a while though, a tech story emerges that highlights how willfully unconcerned some people are with the green issues that worry the rest of us.
The latest news from Dubai falls squarely into the latter category. It seems that planners in the Arab state have stumbled on the great idea of creating a fully refrigerated beach so that tourists don’t burn their feet. From late next year, guests at the exclusive Palazzo Versace hotel will enjoy private access to the beach, situated next to the main building.
Summer is coming and that means the bugs are going to start buzzing. However, if we're not careful about how we keep our kitchen, the flies and ants start coming inside. That's where the tip from Green Options reader Chloe comes in. She says, "To keep your compost bin from smelling and attracting fruit flies indoors, keep your container inside the refrigerator until it's full enough to take it outside to the composter."
