Place the slices in a large airtight container. ✅Blend the beet, vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, miso, Dijon, black pepper, coriander, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder into the canister of a blender. Blend until a smooth liquid forms. ✅Transfer the liquid to the container with the tofu. Gently toss the tofu until it is submerged in the liquid. Marinate for at least 30 minutes. You can also marinate overnight in the refrigerator. ✅Preheat the oven to 425ÂșF. Transfer the tofu slices to a large nonstick baking sheet in a single layer. Brush both sides lightly with oil. ✅Cook for about 25 minutes, or until lightly crispy. (Flip the tofu over after 10 minutes and baste both sides. Baste again after 20 minutes.) ✅Or air-fry the tofu at 400ÂșF for about 15 minutes, or until lightly crispy, basting frequently. ✅Don’t let it get too crispy. Just lightly. .

layersDaily Sustainability Digest

Published about 4 hours ago



Policy urgency and material innovation are reshaping sustainable construction across the UK. The Climate Change Committee’s call for sustained investment in resilience signals a decisive move from ambition to obligation, aligning infrastructure with environmental sustainability in construction and revealing the true cost of inaction. Adaptation spending that targets heatwaves, flooding, and infrastructure vulnerability is increasingly linked to whole life carbon assessment and lifecycle assessment, bringing accountability to the carbon footprint of construction.

Technological progress is reflecting the same shift. Floating solar energy and large-scale energy storage projects demonstrate sustainable building practices grounded in low carbon design and resource efficiency in construction. Net zero whole life carbon principles are informing new models of building lifecycle performance, driving the transition toward energy-efficient buildings that support national decarbonisation goals.

Material choices are now a defining factor in sustainable building design. The demand for low embodied carbon materials and renewable building materials is rising as developers pursue circular construction strategies and end-of-life reuse in construction. The evolution of low carbon construction materials, guided by standards such as BREEAM and BREEAM v7, signals the integration of eco-design for buildings with rigorous sustainability metrics.

The sector faces increasing scrutiny over greenwashing, but genuine progress is emerging through carbon neutral construction and sustainable material specification that reflect measurable reductions in embodied carbon in materials and whole life carbon. This convergence of regulation, innovation, and life cycle cost awareness is moving sustainable construction from niche to norm, advancing the circular economy in construction and accelerating the path to net zero carbon buildings.
