Government Policies Drive Reduced Coastal Plastic Pollution on Australian Beaches | Happy Eco News
Australia has achieved reduced coastal plastic pollution with a 39% decrease over 10 years, according to new CSIRO research. The study of six cities shows government policies like plastic bans are working, though scientists say continued efforts from communities, industry, and policymakers remain essential for environmental protection.

MAHA Is Going to Make America Sicker
Donald Trump has spent the last seven months flooding our food, water, and air with all kinds of very real, very horrible pollutants, including numerous cancer-causing chemicals — the exact opposite of “making America healthy again.”

The Economics of Information Pollution in the Age of AI: A General Equilibrium Approach to Welfare, Measurement, and Policy
The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) represents a fundamental shock to the economics of information production. By asymmetrically collapsing the marginal cost of generating low-quality, synthetic content while leaving high-quality production costly, AI systematically incentivizes information pollution. This paper develops a general equilibrium framework to analyze this challenge. We model the strategic interactions among a monopolistic platform, profit-maximizing producers, and utility-ma…

The Hidden Strength of Costrong Functors
Strong functors and monads are ubiquitous in Computer Science. More recently, comonads have demonstrated their use in structuring context-dependent notions of computation. However, the dualisation of ``being strong'' property passed somehow unobserved so far. We argue that ``being costrong'' gives a different understanding of how functors can interact with monoidal structures. This work in progress aims to explore costrong functors and their natural properties, with an eye towards the semantics…

Platoon-Centric Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory Using Safe Reinforcement Learning
With recent advancements in Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory (GLOSA) emerges as a promising eco-driving strategy to reduce the number of stops and idle time at intersections, thereby reducing energy consumption and emissions. Existing studies typically improve energy and travel efficiency for individual CAVs without considering their impacts on the entire mixed-traffic platoon, leading to inefficient traffic flow. While Reinforcement Learning (RL) has the…

How microbes could help solve the world's plastic pollution crisis
With conventional waste management systems falling short, many scientists are turning to nature for innovative solutions to the issue of plastic waste. One promising avenue is microbial degradation: harnessing the natural abilities of certain bacteria and fungi to break down plastics in ways that current technologies cannot.
