RFK Jr. slated to unveil plan targeting loophole that allows chemicals in food supply - The Washington Post
https://archive.ph/fI7In"The practice known as “generally recognized as safe” allows companies to self-certify the safety of certain food chemicals or substances without strict government oversight."
This seems like a good thing.

Plastics contamination an ‘overlooked’ concern in food waste schemes, experts say | Food waste | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/09/plastics-pollution-food-waste-landfill-recycling-research"About one-third of all food produced worldwide is wasted each year, according to UN data. In the US, 40% of food waste goes to landfill, where it creates 30m metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent a year – more than Cuba’s total annual CO2 emissions in 2024, which amounted to 24.4m tonnes."

I have an archive of all the spam email I've received since 2002. [1] I should sell it as an LLM "training data set". Whatcha think, Sam? Ten grand, super cheap! Almost all of it is low-background text!
"Why does this model suddenly want to sell me sketchy shit?"
[1] Though this doesn't include stuff my filters bounced before it got this far, so it's "only" a little over 166,000 emails.

Plan to keep #Navajo #CoalMine open for 110 years runs into opposition
Arlyssa D. Becenti, Feb. 12, 2026
Excerpts: #BurnhamNM — "Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren has been open about his support for keeping the #FourCornersGeneratingStation operating until 2038, along with continued #CoalMining for the next 110 years.
"But community members and #EnvironmentalJustice advocates say the plan ignores the ongoing transition away from #FossilFuels and could endanger the health of people who live nearby. They voiced opposition at a public hearing at the Burnham Chapter Jan. 29.
"The Four Corners station, a coal-fired power plant near #FruitlandMN, is operated by Arizona Public Service Company and is scheduled to close as early 2031, and no later than 2038. In 2013, the Navajo Nation formed Navajo Transitional Energy Company to acquire the Navajo Mine from #BHP #BillitonNM Coal.
"Since then, #NTEC has also acquired coal mines in #Wyoming and #Montana, and in July 2018, NTEC acquired a 7% ownership stake in Units 4 and 5 of the Four Corners plant. Now NTEC plans to expand Navajo Mine and operate it for the next 110 years, until 2136, with support from Nygren and council delegates.
[...]
"#Trump orders fuel energy initiatives on #NavajoNation
"The attempt to expand coal mining on the Navajo Nation for 110 years comes after President Donald Trump signed his executive order Reinvigorating America’s Beautiful Clean Coal Industry and Amending Executive Order 14241 in April 2025.
"The order said that to keep the U.S. economy strong, protect national security, and lower living costs, the country needs to produce more energy at home, including coal. Another order, 'Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production,' was signed in March, aiming to accelerate domestic production of critical minerals by streamlining permitting, financing, and federal land use processes.
"Since Trump signed the orders, the Navajo Nation has accelerated efforts to establish a dedicated energy office. While the idea had been discussed under previous administrations, it has only recently gained momentum. The office would function as a centralized body to coordinate energy policy, regulatory oversight and long-term energy development.
"Other actions by Navajo Nation leadership aimed at engaging with this renewed federal focus include holding public hearings on the potential revitalization of coal and continuing work related to #uranium production and the cleanup of legacy #contamination."

#PlasticPollution in #ShootingRanges and warfare areas - an overlooked #environmental issue
Andrés Rodríguez-Seijo, et al. 15 July 2026
Abstract
"Shooting ranges and military training fields, including warfare-impacted areas, have been widely recognized as environmentally impacted zones by inorganic and organic #contamination, such as #HeavyMetals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or explosive-related compounds. However, the possible contamination by #plastics and #microplastics in soil has been widely overlooked despite potential plastic sources, such as #ShotgunCartridges, #PlasticWads or #landmines. Due to how these activities occur, plastics have remained in the field for decades or centuries, favoring their conversion from macro to microplastics, polluting the soil and water resources. Moreover, shooting and recreational activities such as #airsoft or #paintball practices could also be a substantial source of plastics to ecosystems; once shot, pellets can have conventional or biodegradable plastics in their composition, and there left in the environment, favouring impacts on soil properties. Although some initiatives have emerged to avoid the use of single-use plastics in shotgun ammunition, alternative materials (biodegradable plastics) can also be a potential risk, favouring the heavy metal bioavailability of shot pellets. These emerging pollutants should also be considered in these areas to understand if they could be a potential source of micro- and nanoplastics to the environment and, therefore, an environmental concern that requires changes at industrial and regulatory levels."Read more:

A methodological audit of regional hydrogeochemical literature reveals a systemic gap. Legacy environmental assessments for the Kryvyi Rih Iron Ore Basin rely on frameworks designed for fresh water, which fail when applied to highly mineralized mine waters. Standard equilibrium algorithms are inadequate for environments with extreme ionic strength.
This limitation extends to mass transport: conventional modeling overlooks density-driven convection and gravitational settling of heavy brines, leading to inaccurate spatial migration models.
Overcoming this inertia requires a return to the fundamental laws of chemical thermodynamics and multiphase flow physics, aligning predictive models with actual environmental constraints.

🔥 Dear colleagues! I present to you the new version (0.80) of my monograph dedicated to the hydrogeochemical (thermodynamic) modeling of the contamination plume around the storage pond in the Svystunova Gully (in Ukrainian).
I have significantly expanded the theoretical and practical sections, adding a description of the hydrodynamic properties and behavior of highly mineralized plumes.The comprehensive concept of the gradual advancement of the contamination plume and the resulting technogenic karst is now revealed.
❗ In the section 1.2 I critically analyze the methodologies and conclusions of previous studies on the technogenic water bodies of the Kryvbas and the propagation processes of contamination plumes from these sites.
