This Startup’s AI Designs Enzymes That Can Eat Plastic Waste
In a lab tucked away in an old gun factory in New Haven, Connecticut, a machine heated plastic waste to 536 degrees Fahrenheit and spat out gloopy strings of material that start to harden when they hit the air. This substance made of textiles and post-industrial scrap that were destined for a landfill will be ground to bits to create as much surface area as possible. Landfills are overflowing with plastic trash. Serial inventor Jonathan Rothberg’s Protein Evolution found a solution: using […] -

The battle over peat: why do some gardeners still insist on using it?
By Rachel DixonPeat bogs are essential to the environment, holding twice as much carbon as all the world’s forests. But in the UK, 80% are damaged, most of what is extracted is used in horticulture – and some campaigners fear the problem is getting worse

#Uranium Ore Truck Collision Endangered #Navajos near #Shonto on #NavajoNation
May 11, 2026, via @bsnorrell.blogspot.com
"A uranium ore haul truck traveling from a uranium mine in the Havasupai's homeland in the Grand Canyon, to a mill site in the White Mesa Ute's community in Utah, was struck by a vehicle, which exposes the danger from the #radioactive haul trucks covered only with tarps. The trucks travel from #EnergyFuels #PinyonPlain #UraniumMine in the #GrandCanyon, from #Havasupai ancestral land, through #Flagstaff, and across #Navajo and #Hopi lands before reaching Energy Fuels mill site on Ute ancestral land in #Utah." -- Censored News

Glenn Storhaug obituary
My friend Glenn Storhaug, who has died aged 78, was a poet, publisher and environmental campaigner. In the late 1970s he set up his own Five Seasons Press. Having taught himself typesetting, Glenn developed an enthusiasm for the American poets Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder and Wendell Berry, whose work he wished to promulgate. With the paper supplier John Purcell he was also instrumental in the development and production of a good quality recycled paper. Continue reading...

USA, 2025, Directed, shot and edited by Ella Warnick, English, 17 min.
"In southeastern Utah, just a few miles upstream of the White Mesa Ute Mountain Ute Tribal reservation, sits the last operating uranium mill in the United States. The Long Fight tells the story of one family's decades-long resistance to the mill and its toxic reign over their ancestral homeland."

#WhiteMesaUte Invite Public to Join #SpiritualWalk to Protest #UraniumMill, Oct. 4, 2025
by #CensoredNews, September 20, 2025
Excerpt: "The rally and spiritual walk is to protect the White Mesa Ute Community’s health, water, air, land, culture, and sacred sites from the nearby #EnergyFuels uranium mill and show community opposition to the mill operating as an international dumping ground for radioactive waste from North America, Japan, and Europe. All relatives and allies welcome.
"The rally on Saturday, October 4, 2025, 11 a.m. MDT will be followed by a spiritual walk to the Energy Fuels uranium mill, about five miles on relatively flat pavement. Wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. Limited number of vehicle seats available for elders and those not able to walk the whole way.
"The White Mesa Ute Community Center in White Mesa, Utah, is just south of Blanding, Utah off Highway 191. The community center is on the west side of the highway. Turn west at the gas station
and go one block south."The Ute Mountain Ute Community of White Mesa and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe are concerned about #contamination from the nearby #UraniumMill and desecration of sacred sites.
"The uranium mill, owned by Energy Fuels Resources, is also where uranium ore from controversial #UraniumMines, including #PinyonPlain Mine, near the #GrandCanyon, is sent for processing; #NativeAmerican tribes, including the #HavasupaiTribe, strongly oppose that mine. As far away as #Madagascar, #IndigenousPeople strongly oppose Energy Fuels’ operations. The October 4 protest and walk are sponsored by the #WhiteMesaConcernedCommunity and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe."

Devastating Community Health Study on #Drax #WoodPellet Plant
Written by Naya Black, August 7th, 2024
"#GlosterMississippi is a small, rural, mostly Black community in Amite County, Mississippi. It spans 1.8 square miles with around 900 residents. Residents are facing the harsh reality of a median income below $15,000 in 2021.
Introduction of the #AmiteBioEnergy Pellet Plant"In 2015, Amite BioEnergy, a part of the UK’s #DraxGroup, started making #WoodPellets pellets in Gloster. Industry markets wood pellets as #ecofriendly . They get big subsidies from the #EU to supposedly fight climate change. Drax has a permit to emit up to 25 tons of harmful #AirPollutants and 249 tons of volatile organic compounds (#VOCs) per year. But since 2016, Drax has consistently gone over these limits. Drax even paid a $2.5 million fine for it.
What Types of Pollutants Do Wood Pellet Plants Produce?
"#WoodPelletPlants emit many #AirPollutants , including:
nitrogen oxides (#NOx)
#GreenhouseGas like carbon dioxide, methane, and sulfur dioxide
volatile organic compounds (#VOCs)
particulate matter (#PM) 2.5"Sleep is critical to health, so 24/7 #NoisePollution is also a concern.
What Are the Short-term Effects of This Air Pollution?"These air pollutants are harmful to residents breathing them in. They can cause:
coughing
trouble breathing
skin rashes
severe allergic reactionsWhat Are the Long-term Effects of This Air Pollution?
"The long-term effects of air pollution are #chronic. They’re also much worse than the short-term effects. Some are even life-threatening. Added to the short-term effects, the long-term effects can be:
shortness of breath
nausea
headaches
cardiovascular disease
lung disease
heart attack
stroke"Read more:

Holding #Drax accountable
via @Freedom_Press
Aug 12thDespite raid on #CimateCamp, #activists link up with #Mississippi fence-line community
"Climate campaigners this weekend Saturday (August 10) held an online conversation with community activists in #GlosterMississippi, who shared their experiences of resisting a polluting #WoodPellet factory owned by UK multinational Drax. The UK climate camp, planned to take place last weekend near Drax power station, was cancelled after a pre-emptive raid by police.
"The 22 arrestees have since been released, but the police impounded essential infrastructure, effectively shtting down the event. Nevertheless, the event went ahead after moving indoors.
"Gloster is a low-income, mostly Black community in Amite County, #Mississippi. In 2015, #AmiteBioEnergy, a part of the #DraxGroup, started making wood pellets in Gloster. #Biomass wood pellets are compressed dried wood chips and sawdust, compressed into pellets at high pressure. The Drax factory received a permit to emit up to 25 tons of harmful #AirPollutants and 249 tons of volatile organic compounds (#VOCs) per year.
"But since 2016, Drax has consistently gone over these limits, in one instance being fined $2.5 million. This was the largest in a much longer series of fines for environmental violations by various companies operating wood pellet factories in the US.
"In the online event, the campaigners from Mississippi discussed the physical and mental health effects of persistent #AirPollution, including the highest rate of mortaility from heart disease in the state of Mississippi. The community has no local medical doctors, and residents have to spend hours commuting to access medical.
"According to local resident Jimmy Brown, 'our legislators aren’t doing us any justice because they didn’t inform any citizens about what going on, so that’s up to us'.
"Activists on both sides of the Atlantic vowed to hold Drax accountable. 'We cannot let them continue to put profit over the planet and over our people', said Gloster organiser Krystal Nicole Martin, 'they need to leave tour community'.
