Moringa removes 98% of microplastics from drinking water, outperforming chemical alternatives
Moringa is thought to have been used by Ancient Egyptians to sterilise water.
A millenia-old purification technique could be the cure for Europe’s microplastic-riddled drinking water.
In a recent study, seeds from the ‘miracle’ moringa tree were found to match or outperform their chemical counterpart in filtering out aged PVC microplastics – one of the most harmful plastic types for human health. The findings could pave the way for a greener alternative for treatment plants.

Forty years after the last one was poached, rhinos are back in the wild in Uganda
For the first time in more than four decades, rhinos have returned to Uganda’s Kidepo Valley National Park, where poachers once wiped them out for their horns and meat.
On Tuesday, two southern white rhinos became the first of eight animals intended to re-establish a population in the park. The last rhino there was killed in 1983, the Uganda Wildlife Authority, which is responsible for the relocation said.
