Drugstore Invests in Clean Energy and Promises to Reduce Electricity Costs by Up to 20%

With the rising global awareness for clean and environmentally friendly energy, companies like Drogaria Venancio are heavily investing in clean energy. The company invested in clean energy generation, inaugurating its first solar power plant in March, located in Barra do Piraí.

Investment in clean energy generation is well regarded for several reasons. One of them is environmental preservation, while also saving about 20% of energy in its physical stores. Additionally, the solar plant project came at a time of high prices in solar energy, further increasing savings.

Initially, Drogaria Venâncio’s solar plant will meet the needs of 50 of the company’s stores. The environmental NGO SOS Mata Atlântica highlights that the amount of CO2 that will not be emitted is equivalent to planting 22 thousand trees after one year. The project was designed by the company América, in partnership with Gera Energia. The project included the installation of 11,040 modules of 335 W.

Armando Arhmed, president of Drogaria Venancio, spoke a bit more about the project: “We are always looking for ways to become increasingly sustainable and this new project means a lot to us. We will be able to reduce costs while contributing to the production of clean energy. Being more environmentally conscious is part of our purpose,” he said.

The success of the project has led the company to prepare for investing in a second solar power plant in the state of Rio de Janeiro. In addition to continuing to contribute to the environment, the project will contribute to the job market, generating job vacancies and boosting the economy in the sector.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

Using high-resolution satellite images, archaeologists rediscovered the Egyptian city of Imet, buried for centuries in the Nile Delta, revealing rare multi-story houses, granaries, and a sacred road linked to the cobra goddess Wadjet, from about 2,400 years ago.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Man builds a 100 m² house with 11,000 PET bottles in Minas Gerais and moves people by revealing that his father collected almost all the material around the city before it became common trash.

A doctor saw a 3-month-old baby turn blue due to lack of oxygen in a hospital without equipment and made a decision that kept the child alive with a cake box until help arrived; she maintained the situation for four hours in the interior of RN before the transfer.

50-meter tunnel below the seabed could retire old ferries in the Shetland Islands: £400 million project promises to connect communities, reduce isolation, and transform the future of transportation in Scotland

Minas announces more than R$ 400 million in infrastructure works and projects in the Midwest, with highway revitalization, new asphalt connections, a bypass in Bambuí, and bridge duplication planned until 2030.

Young Hawaiian recycles 1.8 million cans and bottles and uses the money to fund college scholarships: Genshu Price diverted 63,000 kilograms of waste from landfills and turned each five-cent deposit into university hope.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.

Taiwanese fishermen accepted offshore wind turbines in the name of clean energy, but now they say that old routes have disappeared, fish have decreased, and income has become uncertain on the coast.
