This can include anything from simple DNA mutations, to the insertion of magnets, microchips, and even LEDs. That’s right, I said LEDs.

Beyond power plants, food waste is another huge offender, producing 3.3 billion tons of carbon pollution per year. And sadly, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization, one third of the…
