Last week, Pirelli completed the closure of the motorcycle tire factory in Gravataí, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The announcement of the unit’s closure was made in May 2019 when the manufacturer began a productive reorganization process that included adapting the factory in the interior of São Paulo. With the closure, about 850 employees were dismissed.

The announcement of the factory closure in Gravataí was made in May 2019 when the manufacturer began a productive reorganization process that included adapting the Campinas factory in the interior of the state of São Paulo to produce the tires that had been manufactured for 45 years in Gaúcho soil.

During this time, the government of Rio Grande do Sul tried to convince the Italian multinational to abandon the idea, unsuccessfully. Pirelli states that it took measures to mitigate the social impact of the factory’s closure, such as transferring workers to other operations of the group and providing professional qualification courses for the reemployment of those who lost their jobs. An agreement with the union representing the factory workers in the region also provides for financial incentives based on years of service and extends health insurance for six months to those dismissed.

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.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

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.

Submerged fissure in Iceland looks like a window between two continents: glacial water filtered for up to 100 years traverses 50 km of volcanic rocks and reveals, with visibility over 100 meters, the separation between North America and Eurasia underwater.

The 2014 World Cup left a million-dollar legacy in Itaquera: the Corinthians stadium more than doubled the price per square meter, attracted developers, led to thousands of residential units, and changed the neighborhood, but mobility barriers still hinder the area around the arena.

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.

Soviet villagers found a “human figure” with open eyes next to a capsule fallen in the snow and thought they had found a dead cosmonaut, until they discovered it was Ivan Ivanovich, the mannequin that tested the spacecraft before Gagarin became the first man in space.

Brazil delivers a giant dam worth R$ 365.7 million in Rio Grande do Sul, capable of forming an artificial lake with 138 million m³ of water, equivalent to 55,300 Olympic swimming pools and an area larger than 2,500 football fields.
