Speaker 2: There's that old adage about the grass always being greener
Speaker 2: on the other side. How about the asphalt being greener
Speaker 2: on the other side of the parking lot in Waltham
Speaker 2: It is as we hear from wz's Kyle Bray.
Speaker 5: Right now, it just looks like two freshly paved parking
Speaker 5: spots but in the future, this spot could be the
Speaker 5: first domino to fall in a green revolution. A British
Speaker 5: company called Uberbinder had some of its new green asphalt
Speaker 5: laid on the road for the first time ever. CEO
Speaker 5: Jet Yang says, it's all about the glue they used
Speaker 5: to keep the asphalt rocks together.
Speaker 6: Over one hundred years, we've been using fossil oil based
Speaker 6: between binders as glue to build, the repair and maintain
Speaker 6: our vast paved road network, and so we need to
Speaker 6: find a sustainable, scalable alternative.
Speaker 5: Their new system uses sulfur, the fifth most abundant element
Speaker 5: on the planet. They basically created a new molecule that
Speaker 5: can help cut the greenhouse impact of asphalt by more
Speaker 5: than twenty five percent. Mass mobility helped organize this whole thing.
Speaker 5: Executive director Jamie Tesler says, it's one small step to
Speaker 5: changing the world.
Speaker 2: Pavement is everywhere, and if we can do it better,
Speaker 2: then we can do it cleaner. This is really important.
Speaker 5: From Waltham, Kyle Bray, WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: Reindeer could be getting closer to becoming a figment of
Speaker 2: Santa's imagination.
Speaker 7: Reindeer populations are projected to decline up to eighty percent
Speaker 7: by the year twenty one hundred due to climate change,
Speaker 7: according to new research published in the journal Science Advances.
Speaker 7: Examining fossils, ancient DNA, and computer models, researchers studied reindeer
Speaker 7: populations over the last twenty one thousand years, and while
Speaker 7: the species have some many episodes of Arctic warming in
Speaker 7: the past, the results suggest the expected losses in the
Speaker 7: coming decades will be the most severe unless greenhouse gas
Speaker 7: emissions are severely reduced and there's a strong investment in
Speaker 7: wildlife management and conservation. Tracy Wolf, CBS News.
