Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde has created an installation called the 'Urban Sun' that seeks to reduce the amount of coronavirus in the air in public spaces. The structure makes use of ultraviolet light to reduce the risk of transmission, though the artist clarifies that it is no replacement to government rules or the vaccine. In the structure, an artificial sun is suspended above open areas with a UVC lamp under it, that seems to create a halo to disinfect everything within its reach, according to Studio Roosegaarde. The artist hopes his design will be installed in more public spaces so social interaction can become safe again.

South Africa's luxury Blue Train, which connects coastal Cape Town with capital city Pretoria, is offering a short escape from the Covid-19 pandemic. Quite ironic

South Africa's luxury Blue Train, which connects&nbsp;coastal Cape Town with&nbsp; Pretoria, is offering a short escape from the Covid-19 pandemic. In the days prior to the pandemic, very few locals in South Africa had the luxury to board the train. Discounted prices now mean that the train has more locals than international passengers.
The 48-hour journey on board the Blue Train is what bucket lists are made of.
Breath-taking scenery along the way, exquisite five-course meals, panoramic&nbsp;views from the last carriage of the train, make the 2-day trek a once-in-a-lifetime experience.&nbsp;

A staggering 17% of food available to consumers, which is about&nbsp; 931 million tonnes was wasted in 2019, a new report by the United Nations says.
The UN report says&nbsp;majority of the wasted food, that is about 61% came from households, 26% was wasted by the food service industry, while retail contributed to 13% of the wastage.

South Asia is no better. In India, 50 kg of food per person per year goes to waste, 82 kg per person is wasted in Afghanistan and 79 kg per person is wasted in Nepal.
