“Not only is recycling plastic not effective toward combating the microplastic hazards – we don’t want an already toxic thing cycling again & again through our lives” Bottom line: “We need to stop producing so much plastic” -Matt Simon pressherald.com/2024/10/01/art…

This thread is the reason that posts and conversations about biodiversity and conservation are so important: 13,000 people liked a thread that is celebrating species extinction and environmental destruction. It’s just so disappointing.

Decimos que son datos provisionales, porque falta una hora de datos en un momento de fuerte intensidad, entre las 16 y 17 h que con una probabilidad alta estarán almacenados en la tarjeta de memoria de la estación, por lo que, finalmente, el total puede estar próximo a 700 l/m².

I can’t make it to the March for Water today, but remember that the March isn’t just about sewage. Highway runoff is toxic, and washes into rivers from ~1million outfalls every time it rains. We must address all sources of pollution if we want clean rivers March for Clean Water

I'm sorry I can't be there in person today, but I'm there in spirit, no single person has the answer to the water cycle's problems but keeping all the conversations going will find the right path. The photo is the wildlife pond at RHS Wisley. #MARCHFORCLEANWATER

Please don't lie about privatisation Dale Vince, things are bad enough without lies "About 270 million people received water from private companies in more than 40 countries, including about 160 million in developed countries and 110 million in developing" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pri…

The short duration rainfall totals near Valencia last week are jaw dropping. More than double previous national records. We need to completely reassess what we consider worst case flooding is. Because history is no guide. Via Víctor M. González

Can we just be honest? Please?: The administrative head of CoP29 is using the event to sell gas. >This climate CoP is f*cked. The whole thing is corrupted and dangerous. It’s time to throw over the whole farce of these CoPs. >Please RT to agree. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Janet Manning đź’™ Estimates vary on this but the answer is it takes a lot of water to make plastic, in terms of making the plastic itself, drilling and refining oil & natural gas as source materials, making petrochemicals, water used in energy generation for all these energy intensive processes.

Two days ago we needed growth so much that nature (newts and bats) was in the way of runways and roads Today we need nature so bad farmers should abandon growth and sacrifice their property for climate change and nature restoration WTF? Do they even listen to themselves?
