#University of Exeter 🇬🇧 scientists show that Secchi disks performed almost as well as modern methods in monitoring phytoplankton. This means that old 19th century ocean data is usable for modern ocean change science‼️ White Secchi disks (known as dinner plates) are lowered into the water and sailors record the depth when they are visually lost.

England 🇬🇧 begins a major peatland (moors) restoration project...with a twist. The project will be funded by pooling public and private money to restore degraded moors back to healthy carbon sequestering peatlands. The financial goal will be carbon offset markets and speculating on a rising carbon value.

Gold💰 mining is an extremely polluting, energy wasteful and inhumane mining industry that is not required‼️ We only need 7% of the gold purchased annually to meet our industrial, technical and medical demand. There are non-radical ways to change this industry to eliminate mining, under our current capitalistic economy. 🔶 💍 🔶...we will also still have gold for jewellery.
