How satellites made from wood could protect Earth’s Ozone Shield
Earth faces a growing 'ring of trash' as defunct satellites burn up, releasing harmful particles like aluminium oxide that could deplete the ozone layer. Scientists are exploring wooden satellites, like Japan's LignoSat 1, as a sustainable solution. These biodegradable alternatives offer a promising way to mitigate the environmental risks posed by increasing space debris.
