In much of the developed world, waste is out of sight and out of mind. The world generates around 2 billion tons of #municipal #solid #waste #annually, with at least 33% of it #not #managed in an #environmentally #safe #manner, according to a 2018 World Bank report. Though high-income countries only account for 16% of the world’s population, they generate about 34% of the world’s waste each year. A third of all 3food produced is wasted and ends up in the garbage can. 3Plastic waste is another mounting issue: Across the globe, #less than 10% of it is #recycled, according to the most recent data from 2018 published by the #Organization for #Economic #Cooperation and #Development. Plastic waste has more than doubled globally since 2000.

Charleston gets early win in climate change lawsuit vs. ‘Big Oil’
By Clare Fieseler cfieseler@postandcourier.com
Jul 8, 2023
"A federal judge has given the city of Charleston an early win in its climate change lawsuit against '#BigOil' by ruling the case will stay in #SouthCarolina, where the city wants the issue fought.
"U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel agreed on July 5 that Charleston’s bid seeking to make #FossilFuel companies pay for #climate damages could proceed in state court, where it was initially filed.
"City officials welcomed the decision, which some legal experts say creates a more favorable stage in arguing that the multiple #oil and #gas companies which have operated in the U.S. for decades knew of the #environmentally #hazardous affects of their products.
"'We agree wholeheartedly with him,' said Chloe Field, a city spokeswoman. 'It is time to move towards trial in the Court of Common Pleas where we filed this case nearly three years ago.'
"In 2020, the city of Charleston filed the lawsuit against two dozen major #oil and #pipeline companies, alleging their products and the spread of misinformation about #FossilFuels have caused #ClimateChange leading to repetitive and disastrous #flooding in the city.
"Nationwide, almost two dozen state and local governments are pursuing similar litigation against oil companies seeking climate-related damages. The only government in the South to file such a case is the city of Charleston."

#VoxPolitical | We’ve been told lies about #ThamesWater’s profits – and the cost of cleaning the #sewage
💧 Their operating profit margin is a staggeringly-high 35 per cent. There is no reason for Thames Water to be in danger of insolvency.
💧 Every single penny they have made in #profit has been paid out to #shareholders in #dividends.
💧 Water companies are #environmentally #insolvent.

Up until now #deepsea mining has been for the most part either conjecture or small scale, now #Norway is working to open a massive area around #Svalbard in the Artic (over which it claims territorial rights) to sea bed mining;-
even the country's own Environmental Agency objects to these plans, so we may be about to see quite how #green Norway really is?
It may have its sovereign wealth fund disinvesting from #fossilfuels but its difficult to present ocean bed mining as #environmentally good!

The “let’s clear the air” 'campaign acknowledges #ClimateChange, but claims that #PathwaysAlliance is “part of the solution.” #untrue — #oil produced from #Canada #OilSands is actually some of the most #environmentally #damaging and #energy #intensive on the #planet .

Yes, way to lead. Exactly what’s needed to help with #behaviorchange. “The new initiative will embed #ecoconscious measures across the studio’s entire #filmmaking process, from the script phase to shoots. The new plan is designed to embed #sustainable practices and eco-conscious forethought across the entirety of the filmmaking process, starting from script development and on to #production (including location decisions) and distribution. The #studio also said the program will encompass looking at depictions of on-screen #behaviors from an #environmentally friendly angle.” https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/universal-filmed-entertainment-greenerlight-sustainability-program-1235346745/

Many #women are looking for #environmentally #sustainable and #reusable #menstrual products.
Unfortunately, few #clinical studies focus on #menstrual products, and even less on #menstrual_cups.
Plus, existing studies are more about product acceptability rather than #immunology and #microbiology.

Like building an #eco #tourism destination in an #environmentally sensitive place. The visitors fuck the area up for those who should be there, #wildlife for a prime example.
