A new tree-planting initiative has been launched in Mexico City. The goal is to add trees in shade-needy neighborhoods by 2030. According to Mexico News Daily, the target number of trees to be planted is one of three options: 100,000, 500,000, or 1 million.

In India, the production of ethanol is reported to come from two main sources. The Indian Express states that nearly three-fourths of India's ethanol production comes from sugar, while the remainder comes from grains, particularly maize.
