Embodied carbon is responsible for 11% of global GHG emissions and 28% of global building sector emissions. Embodied carbon is the carbon emitted in the making of building products and construction. According to Architecture 2030, it is now estimated that embodied carbon will be responsible for almost half of new construction emissions between now and 2050. It is time to recognize the scale of this problem, but this is a tough fix....

Even with Phase 4 of the MCU pushing towards two years of projects, the Mad Titan Thanos remains as big of a presence over the franchise now as he did during the Infinity Saga. With half of the universe having been snapped away in Avengers: Infinity War and snapped back to life in Avengers: Endgame, fans have questions about the fate that beheld many of Marvel’s biggest names. With Marvel Studios now a dozen projects into Phase 4 and expanding almost weekly, those questions are being answered as Marvel creators and actors reveal what happened to these characters, both in new footage and through interviews....

With nearly two dozen releases in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe expected over the next two years, director James Gunn will finally complete his Marvel trilogy with Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3. Guardians Vol. 3 is still in the earliest stages of development, although fans are undoubtedly hyped to see Marvel’s lovable band of misfits return to the big screen. The Guardians were last seen in the two-part Infinity Saga culmination of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame before leaving Earth with Thor in tow as Phase 3 came to a close....

© Stephen Messenger After well over a year of in-your-face presidential campaigning, marked by countless slogans, stump speeches, and oh so unavoidable advertising, at this point you’ve likely become something of an expert in political symbolism. Yet despite their ubiquity, the origins of some of the most enduring party emblems often eludes the oversaturated electorate – namely, why Republicans are elephants and Democrats are donkeys. While it’s certainly not the most pressing political question you’ll face today as we head to the polls, we’ll take the opportunity to talk about politics in a terms of these less-than-democratically-elected party animals that have come to represent our majority parties....

From natural materials to open building, this wall will work for generations. Settle in, wall nerds, and see how Hans Porschitz of Bensonwood builds a modern wall for wood frame construction. It looks like a normal wall that might be in any home, but it is very different, and there is a lot to learn from it. Lloyd Alter/ Now that’s a nail gun/CC BY 2.0Not everyone can do everything that Bensonwood does for its Unity Homes division wall panels because not everyone has a big factory with a Weinmann rolling computerized nail gun, but there are other lessons that could be applied universally....

Director James Gunn is in the process of making his third superhero movie for Marvel Studios with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, set to release in theaters in May 2023. This comes after lending his expertise to DC’s superhero universe on The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, and he’s far from done in that corner of the world as well. Gunn has regularly showcased his unique style of filmmaking, which he didn’t deviate from when he took on Marvel’s first Guardians of the Galaxy movie in 2014....

Zack Snyder’s Justice League is a heavy favorite to steal the show during the DC FanDome online convention. The announcement of the release of the Snyder Cut next year kick started the wave of reveals under the DCEU umbrella last May, and it is only fitting that this project will take the convention by storm. Snyder has been hard at work when it comes to teasing the upcoming trailer that will be screened during DC FanDome....

The last time viewers saw Tom Hiddleston and his mischievous trickster God, he was involved in one of the few hanging plot threads from Avengers: Endgame. That is, of course, when Tony and Scott’s part in the Time Heist went horribly wrong, and 2012 Loki got his hands on the Tesseract before promptly teleporting away. But, to where? Well, Loki aims to answer that question and then some. From the first trailer alone, fans can already tell how crazy the Disney+ series is going to be....

Five years have now passed since Hugh Jackman departed the Wolverine mantle with Logan - a critically-acclaimed hit and the perfect swansong for his mutant hero. Even now, his legacy remains as strong as ever, as many fans continue to argue there’s no point bringing Wolverine into the MCU without Jackman. However, the Australian star is staying firm on his commitment to leaving the role behind at 53 years old, having already spent 17 years playing Wolverine under Fox....

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is only weeks away from its MCU debut, with Marvel Studios closing out Phase 4 on a massive sequel that will expand the world of Wakanda to new heights. As the follow-up to one of the MCU’s most successful solo movies ever in 2018’s Black Panther, this new outing will add new layers of depth to the African nation’s legacy as the Multiverse Saga continues to push forward into wilder adventures....

After Groot sacrificed himself at the end of the first film of the franchise, the Guardian of the Galaxy has gone through multiple transformations over the years. Initially, Groot was a full-sized adult in the 2014 MCU film, but his sacrifice meant that he was essentially reborn at the end of the movie, thus leading to the debut of Baby Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Baby Groot had many memorable moments in Vol....

Warning - This article contains spoilers from Eternals . Fans now have an entirely new set of heroes to love: the Eternals. Introduced in Marvel Studios’ recently released film, the group are god-like beings tasked with protecting humanity. Despite being entwined with humankind for thousands of years, they couldn’t be further from those they protect. At one point in the movie, the Celestial Arishem drops a bombshell: none of the Eternals are organic—they are all synthetic beings created by him to observe and serve....

Marvel Studios’ run of projects coming in 2023 is set to start with Nia DaCosta’s The Marvels, which will be one of the most star-studded sequels adding to the MCU story in Phase 4. Coming as the third starring role for Brie Larson, who most recently made a cameo in the Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings mid-credits scene, her Carol Danvers will make a thrilling return as one of the most powerful Avengers currently running....

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may have had mixed reviews, but the story had a lot going for it, with one of the biggest elements being the introduction of the Illuminati. On its council were the likes of Patrick Stewart’s Professor X, Hayley Atwell’s Captain Carter, Anson Mount’s Black Bolt, and more. According to Deadline’s Justin Kroll, at one point and time, Daniel Craig was also set to play one of the members of Earth-838’s Illuminati....

Presenting YAUGU (yet another urban grow unit). We’ve highlighted many variations of indoor gardening systems over the years, some of them simple and low tech and some of them with decidedly ‘smart’ features, and all of them with the same goal: to help people grow some of their own food inside their homes. You don’t necessarily need one of these purpose-built growing units to start an indoor garden, as DIY versions can be much cheaper to build (although perhaps lacking some of the automated features), but for those who aren’t into making their own indoor planters, there are certainly many options to choose from when purchasing one....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is thriving once again thanks to the Marvel Studios’ efforts on Disney+, currently enjoying success through the first four episodes of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The streaming network is also going to be a major player for the MCU’s theatrical releases, which will premiere both on the big and small screens for the foreseeable future. To the delight of MCU fans worldwide, this means that Phase 4’s blockbuster movies will finally make their way into the world after more than a year’s worth of unfortunate delays....

This plug-n-play LED night light is an easy-to-install safety light option for any standard outlet in your home, and uses just 10 cents of electricity per year. When I first covered the SnapPower LED guidelights last February, the company was still in the pre-order phase, and since then, I’ve been surprised at how popular the article has been, considering that outlet covers and LED guidelights aren’t exactly the sexiest technology around....

Spider-Man: No Way Home is a 100% cinematic triumph. Not only did the film break box office records amidst a global pandemic, but it also managed to bring together three different Spider-Man franchises and two different studios while still continuing to tell a singular Spider-Man story. Honestly, it’s a miracle that it even exists. While the film’s cast delivered spectacular performances, particularly in terms of Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Tom Holland’s MCU Spidey, Marvel’s visual effects team had plenty to live up to....

While nothing is confirmed, it is looking increasingly likely that the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next culminating event will revolve around the multiverse. The Ancient One warned Bruce Banner about Avengers: Endgame’s time heist, saying when the Avengers took Infinity Stones from the past, branched timelines would be created. Captain America mopped up most of that mess when he returned each of the six Infinity Stones to their respective time periods, but not every loose end was resolved....
