When Is “Recyclable” Not Really Recyclable? When the Plastics Industry Gets to Define What the Word Means.

Companies whose futures depend on plastic production are trying to persuade the federal government to allow them to put the label “recyclable” on plastic shopping bags and other items virtually guaran...

Chinese researchers developed a 100-meter experimental air purification tower in Xi'an to explore new ways of reducing urban air pollution. The tower uses solar-heated greenhouses at its base to warm polluted air naturally allowing it to rise through filtration systems before cleaner air is released

Snagged this from FB. This may make some people uncomfortable but I think it highlights just how far we've come from what's natural, from our relationship to the Earth that sustains us and our beautiful relatives we share it with.

GDP counts pollution as growth. Deforestation as growth. Bottled water after rivers die as growth. It is time to count what actually matters: A planet that can still sustain 8 billion of us.

I need y’all to get into the fact Mamdani watched the World Cup match at Rikers. With incarcerated folks. AND…he’s shutting that MF down. Give this man the Nobel.

FFS! Since 2019 Ford has cut 184 million from forest fire budget while spending 452 million on advertising?! Don’t buy his bullshit that he’ll ‘spare no expense’ fighting these fires his track record shows where his true priorities are! More on tonight’s OShow Scandal Panel. #ON

Ocean acidification caused by excess co2 from human activity has led to a 30% increase in hydrogen ion concentration that is killing the ocean and marine life reducing the availability of carbonate ions needed by countless marine organisms to build shells and skeletons phys.org/news/2026-07...

Ocean acidification emerging as a planetary signal linking today's carbon emissions to Earth's deep-time memory

When most people hear the phrase "ocean acidification," they think of coral reefs, shellfish or declining fisheries. Those concerns are real. But while working on our recent research, I found myself a...

Doug Ford's mystery strategy to "end hallway medicine" by firing nurses. What he is actually doing is filling the bank accounts of his pals in the staffing agencies. #onpoli bsky.app/profile/fran...

GDP completely ignores ecological debt. We are burning through our planet's capital and calling it revenue. We desperately need new measures of progress that value human and planetary well-being. 📊🌱 #Degrowth #GreenEconomy

Our most powerful and immediate tool? EVs! If you're in the market for a new vehicle, please prioritize EVs! If you're in the market for a used vehicle, please prioritize EVs! If you can stop driving your gas vehicle and use 🚎🚴‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️do! We must stop burning fossil fuels for the kids!

Car dependency is, literally, killing us

If everyone lived like the average American, we would need 5 Earths. 🚨 Yet our economic models cheer for a 3% GDP increase every year. The math doesn't lie: Infinite consumption is impossible. The only "growth" that matters now is the growth of our topsoil, forests, and coral reefs.

Last year the world added: 🌞 692 GW ☢️ 3 GW The only purpose of nuclear is to delay renewable adoption at our expense, cost and time.

Jan Rosenow@janrosenow.bsky.social · last mo.

RECORD YEAR: 2025 was the biggest year ever for renewables. A record 692 GW was added, mostly solar. More importantly, non-fossil sources generated 43% of the world's electricity and fossil generation fell. More in Bright Spots: open.substack.com/pub/janrosen...

This is it. Home. The only place life exists that we know of. We should be cherishing it not destroying it for the pointless enrichment of inadequate oligarchs. Greed can never be sated.

"After the last month, Democratic leadership should be seriously taking stock of their position," writes Ben Davis. "The energy is on their left. The people are on their left."

The party’s leadership is deeply out of touch with its base. A leftist politics of collective struggle is cresting across the US

The Liberals have used their newly acquired majority to push through major changes to Canada’s laws at the last minute and shut down debate on legislation with major implications for the lives of Canadians. This is not normal. This is what happens when a government thinks it can act with impunity.

Until the majority of white Americans decide that their ability to live a good life is more valuable to them than terrorizing and killing Black & Brown people at home and abroad we will never move forward as a nation

'When the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realize that you cannot eat money.' This isn't just a warning; it's a prediction of a preventable future. Our economy exists within our ecology, not the other way around.

Mother Earth is literally choking on greenhouse gases, yet humanity is still busy with the very activities driving us toward extinction. Climate change isn’t a future problem—it’s happening right now. Over the next 7 days, let’s unpack how we got here and how we fix it. 👇

Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temps warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention.
