For the first time, global warming has exceeded 1.5C across an entire year, according to the EU's climate service. World leaders promised in 2015 to try to limit the long-term temperature rise to 1.5C, which is seen as crucial to help avoid the most damaging impacts. This first year-long breach doesn't break that landmark Paris agreement, but it does bring the world closer to doing so in the long-term. Urgent action to cut carbon emissions can still slow warming, scientists say.

Nearly 63,000 small pieces of plastic were pulled from Toronto Harbour over six months last year — thanks to trash traps, according to research data released on Monday. The plastic pieces were part of 43 kilograms of garbage removed from the water from May to October 2023, according to PortsToronto and the University of Toronto Trash Team, a community outreach organization. In a news release on Monday, PortsToronto said its network of trash traps includes eight Seabins, which are floating garbage cans that suck in trash, and two WasteSharks, which are small remote-controlled vessels that skim the surface of the water to collect floating debris. Apart from the volume of plastic taken out of the harbour last year, however, both organizations say there are signs that the amount of plastic garbage floating in the water is on the decline this year and the drop may be due to outreach and education efforts.

bad straws
pros and cons about straws
Plastic straws:
CONS: can never be properly recycled, last for centuries, never fully degrade, single-use, pollution, harmful to wildlife, plastic poisoning / micro plastic have a direct route to body
PROS: single use so slightly more hygienic, good for some disabled people who have issues with motor skills
Paper straws:
CONS: cant be recycled, sometimes contain plastics, emit greenhouse gas when they break down, can be bitten through by those with issues with motor skills, can go soggy fast
PROS: biodegradable, renewable, safe, hygienic and durable
Metal straws:
CONS: can conduct heat and become very hot if used with hot beverages, stiff, hygiene issues,
PROS: highly durable, can be cleaned 100% via boiling (cleaner then plastic!!) non toxic, long lasting, reusable, recyclable if broken
Silicon straws:
CONS: sometimes have a plastic taste similar to single use plastic, food can stick to them, sometimes aren't bendable,
PROS: non toxic, very easy to clean, long lasting, non plastic, reusable, safe, come in all sizes and shapes
wood/bamboo straws:
CONS: can spoil and rot, not as safe, deforestation especially if not bamboo, least hygienic, stiff, greenhouse gas when it breaks down
PROS: reusable, can break down, if bamboo it will be naturally antibacterial, so they're hygienic.

people just love to appropriate poverty struggles and classicism when they are challenged on their own consumption habits.
veganism is bad because some people live in food deserts (even though they don't)
no one can critizise fast fashion and ultra consumption of clothing because it's just so classist to say we shouldn't support slave labor (ignoring the fact that "poor" people are not buying 70 new items of clothing a year)
framing the demand for fundamental change, and the actions supporting it as intolerant as those horrible existing systems, because accountability is scary, and changing your lifestyle is hard.
if you cannot make a certain change right now, that's ok. activism groups largely know and account for that. but you should ask yourself: "can i actually not do this? or am i just unwilling to give up a priviledge i have?" because there is a difference

For the first time in almost 75 years, beavers were released into California waters as a part of conservation efforts by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Maidu Summit Consortium. A family of seven beavers swam their way through Tásmam Koyóm, a tribal community in Plumas County that are ancestral land to the Mountain Maidu people. This new family will join a "single resident beaver in the valley" with the goal to re-establish a breeding population, according to the CDFW. Ben Cunningham, chairman of the Maidu Summit Consortium, said the valley had beavers years ago, but due to pioneer interference, the population disappeared.
