The analysis used artificial intelligence (AI) and satellite imagery cross-referenced with official sources and on-the-ground observation to verify that each airstrip is associated with narco activity.

While South Korea has won international praise for its recycling efforts, environmentalists say the high rate at which it claims to recycle plastic waste belies the reality. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2024/11/25/sustainability/south-korea-plastic-limits-recycling/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #sustainability #southkorea #plastic #pollution #asia #environment

🤔 I wonder how many people realize they are adding clutter to their homes, always searching for the newest and most specialized gadget to "save themselves time" for these two reasons
- marketing companies are extremely effective with manipulating your thoughts and actions
-they are avoiding their inner thoughts.
All that junk adds to the burden on your mind.

Last weekend, I traveled to #Dallas to cover a mass protest against the Jewish National Fund's annual conference.
The JNF, which lost tax exempt status in Canada, is a key provider of material support to the illegal expansion of Israeli settlements, and frequently uses tree planting to greenwash their actions. Here's my latest for Deceleration: https://deceleration.news/opposing-jewish-national-fund-dallas-protesters-plant-tree-of-life-against-genocidal-greenwashing/

Delhi always has a big place in my heart and the winter weather breaks it every year. My personal experience of the smog was one of the catalysts for my interest in #ClimateChange and #CreationCare. We would be more open to moving back to Delhi were it not for the catastrophic pollution levels (even more so now that we have a child). The article is particularly galling for all the hyperlinks to past reporting.

Reservoirs, a major component of California’s water storage system, are a significant source of climate-warming emissions, releasing more greenhouse gases across the state than 300,000 gas-powered cars in a year
reservoirs’ water storage benefits will only diminish as climate change intensifies. The report comes as California plans three massive reservoirs and dam expansion projects

French farmers are preparing a wave of protests against a controversial trade agreement. The farmers argue that the deal between the EU and Mercosur block of countries threatens their livelihood. They claim that the deal allows a surge of South American agricultural imports produced under less stringent environmental standards.
