✅What are Sea Anemones?
🅾️Sea anemones are saltwater animals-Despite their appearance, they are not plants.
🅾️Although they look flower-like, they are carnivorous. They use stinging cells called nematocysts on their tentacles to catch prey like small fish and crustaceans.
⚠️One of the most fascinating aspects of sea anemone biology is their frequent symbiotic relationships:Clownfish and Anemones: Clownfish have a protective mucus coating that makes them immune to the anemone's stings. They live within the tentacles, gaining protection, while the anemone benefits from scraps of the clownfish's food and the fish chasing away potential predators.

✅Sources of Black carbon
🅾️Black carbon has a shorter lifespan in the atmosphere compared to CO2, but its immediate warming effect is significant.
🅾️Controlling black carbon emissions can provide faster climate benefits compared to solely focusing on CO2 reduction.
🅾️Several initiatives exist to address black carbon, such as the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC).

✅RETV: Residential Envelope Transmittance Value
🅾️Definition: RETV measures the heat flow through a building's entire envelope (walls, roof, windows, etc.). A lower RETV means better insulation.
🔰Importance:
⚜️Energy Consumption: Lower RETV directly translates to reduced heating and cooling costs.
Indoor Comfort: Buildings with lower RETV maintain comfortable temperatures with less effort, regardless of external weather.
⚜️Building Codes: Many regions have RETV requirements in their building codes to promote energy efficiency
