Sound can help food taste better. According to a study at Oxford University, people thought that food was more bitter or sweeter depending on background sounds. Scientists were not sure what happened in the brain and why people thought that way. However, some companies already have started testing the effect that sound has on food taste. For example, with background music, one company wants its coffee to taste sweeter without too much sugar. Who knows, in the future we’ll choose music to make food taste better?

Plastic pollution is a serious problem. Millions of tons of plastic is thrown into oceans, and sea animals are eating the waste. You can guess what happens next. It ends up in our own stomachs. Many scientists, governments and companies work together to reduce plastic products. One of the solutions is edible food packaging. You start with a bowl of rice and then eat the bowl made of mushrooms for dessert. Similarly, there are edible water bottles made out of water plants. We hope there will be more edible packaging in the future that helps reduce plastic pollution.

Experts advise people to “take the stairs instead of the elevator” or “walk or bike to work.” These are good ways: climbing stairs provides a good workout, and people can get exercise from walking or riding a bicycle. However, the environment makes it difficult for many people to do so. Few people would choose roadways without safe sidewalks or marked bicycle lanes and with fast cars or polluted air. Few would walk up stairs in inconvenient and unsafe stairwells in modern buildings. In contrast, safe biking and walking lanes, public parks, and exercise facilities allow people to exercise. People who live near them use them often. Their surroundings encourage physical activity.
