An ideal annual income may meet material needs, but research indicates that happiness cannot be bought. A study by Nobel laureates Kahneman and Deaton found that happiness does not increase with income after Americans earn more than $75,000 a year.

New York, NY (The CTP News) – People may consider job changes for higher salaries in the new year, but will a bigger paycheck actually make them happier? Nobel laureates Kahneman and Deaton discovered that earning more than $75,000 a year does not necessarily lead to increased happiness among Americans. This is mainly due to the fact that as income rises, various challenging factors, such as health, stress, marital problems, etc., also tend to increase or worsen. Subsequent scientific studies have supported this perspective.

Going vegetarian is a way to protect the planet! Since 2010, there has been a wave of artificial meat in Europe and the United States, advocating more consuming artificial meat to reduce carbon emissions and save the increasing temperature of the global warming crisis. Is that artificial beef better than “real meat”?

Evanston, Illinois (The CTP News) – How much meat is in your refrigerator? Scientists predict that global meat consumption will reach 470 million tons before 2050, and a large amount of meat consumption will cause environmental damage to the earth. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) data report, animal husbandry emits about 7.1 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, accounting for 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In the face of the increasingly severe problem of global warming, scientists have proposed a solution to “artificial meat,” but does the public accept it?
