  2. I know I posted this over on IG, but the people it needs to reach are mainly over there. If you are on IG please like it to help it reach more.

    I just visited Hautacamp and a "Skoda We Love Cycling" plastic sticker on the road is still there and breaking up and bits of it is spread all over this beautiful Pyrenees mountain.

    I hope that we can get them to come and clean up what's left and hopefully they will in the future not leave litter like that around.

  3. Test of 31 #Shein items found 25 (81%) exceeded #EU REACH limits.

    High levels of #phthalates (in 18/22 items, up to 70× limit), #PFAS (9/11 items, up to 3,115×), and #HeavyMetals (cadmium up to 126 mg/kg, lead up to 2,110 mg/kg).

    Risks: skin contact, ingestion (children), environmental contamination.

    Shein says it removes flagged items; @greenpeace calls for stricter enforcement and platform liability.

  7. Some weird phenomenon where lights pointing up in the sky are causing UFO beams. It is not foggy by any measure, but it is very cold -20C so the air humidity is frozen into particles and causes this. Apparently!

  8. After 25 years, a very influential study about glyphosate (Roundup™) that showed that the it wasn't linked to cancer, got retracted. Turns out it had been written by Monsanto, the company who sold the herbicide, and not by the 3 scientists who signed the paper.

    Since the article mentions the "authors" names, i searched the first one....

  9. "There is also significant evidence that air pollution takes a toll on mental health.

  10. The richest 10% of the global population has caused 2/3 of #GlobalWarming since 1990, according to a new study. The authors of the study suggest progressive taxes on wealth and carbon-intensive investments could provide a solution.

    "Climate action that doesn't address the outsized responsibilities of the wealthiest members of society risk missing one of the most powerful levers we have to reduce future harm,"

  12. -> Bloem sees a growing failure to confront their long term impact on the human brain. Evidence from the field is becoming harder to ignore. “It’s not that we don’t know enough. It’s that the system is not built to listen when the answers are inconvenient.”
    Sometimes i believe that people prefer to live in ”don’t look up” mode & talk about climate change & genders, instead of managing real threats to humanity like these ones.

  16. The next time you shop for a stove, the gas versions might show a health warning label similar to those on tobacco products. Because a stove's blue flame releases #AirPollution into your kitchen, #California lawmakers have passed a bill that would require such warning labels on #GasStoves for sale in stores & online.

    I would have thought that after the Volkswagen scandal the industry would have learned it's collective lesson rather than thought, "hey there's an idea". 🤦‍♂️
