"SINGAPORE – Work is almost complete on the 206km-long Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS) conceived in the 1990s, with tunnelling works done for its second phase.
[...]
The DTSS is designed to last 100 years, with a lower risk of contamination due to pipe damage."

Not far from Latin America's biggest city, Sao Paulo, a #river is covered in a white layer that resembles fresh snow but is in fact a smelly, toxic foam. But parts of the #waterway, including one area just 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the metropolis, have been befouled by phosphate and phosphorus residues from household detergents used by Sao Paulo's 22 million inhabitants and washed down the #sewers. #wastewater #pollution https://news.yahoo.com/toxic-foam-blights-river-crucial-002055671.html

I have some shirt remnants I was wondering if anyone had project suggestions for sleeves?
I was thinking about maybe an infinity scarf, but don’t think they’ll be long enough.
This is the shirt in question

I have some shirt remnants, I’ve made a cushion cover out of some of it, I’m planning on turning the rest of it into a cat blanket.
I was wondering if anyone had project suggestions for the sleeves?
I’d love to be able to use the whole shirt.

I completely understand and empathise with the people in this article who feel this is too little too late, but still, I will be very glad when plastic in wet wipes is banned.

'Between 2000 and 2008 around 1% of #sewers in England & Wales were replaced or rehabilitated. Most had been built with a 60-80 years lifespan, at that rate of replacement, it would take 800 years for this to happen for all the sewers in England and Wales'.https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/242831/sewage-overspills-result-from-lack-infrastructure/?utm_medium=email
While presenting the Union Budget 2023-24 in Parliament, #FinanceMinister #NirmalaSitharaman said on Wednesday that all cities and towns in the country will be enabled for 100% mechanical de-sludging of #septictanks and #sewers.

Calling all #sewists and #sewers and otherwise-monikered folks into #sewing who like to #sew (I'm covering my bases here): What kind of storage solutions do you use for sewing supplies and fabric?
I've accumulated a lot of random stuff over the years as I dreamed of actually acquiring a sewing habit, and now that I own a house I need to put it all in a rational order, but I haven't used the supplies enough to know what that would be!
