The US used to be really dirty: Environmental cleanup laws have made a huge difference #UnitedStates

The US used to be really dirty: Environmental cleanup laws have made a huge difference
Growing up in the 1970s, I took for granted the trash piles along the highway, tires washed up on beaches, and smog fouling city air. The famed "Crying Indian" commercial of 1971 became a symbol of widespread environmental damage across the United States.

Trump on Sunday threatened military action against Colombia,
telling reporters that such an operation "sounds good to me."
"Colombia is very sick, too, run by a sick man, who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States,
and he's not going to be doing it very long,"
Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, in an apparent reference to Colombia's President Gustavo Petro.

Let's hope this works. Then it would be an easy fix for the bloody IKEA Nävlinge LED Lamp that breaks too easily at the clamp.
Model: printables.com/model/321152-ik

Two plastic latches on a metal sheet print bed of a 3D printer. The pieces are made of orange plastic.
Two clamps are holding an orange plastic latch to a black clamp of an IKEA LED lamp. The orange plastic piece seems being glued to the black clamp and hold in place by the two other plastic clamps. A left hend is holding the setup. The thumb has blue nail polish.

The account visits the sites, then posts videos and files complaints to pressure officials and companies. The Observers team spoke to the individual behind this account followed by more than 300,000 people.

Writing software is hard, of course, and writing it for a diverse and demanding customer base is harder. The idea that CUNY-built software (much of it apparently vaporware for now) can serve the needs of a whole armada of educational stakeholders at once — well, that’s a hell of an uphill climb.
Then again…do current commercial ed tech offerings really serve needs all that well?
And as the article points out, the privacy and sovereignty benefits are •substantial•.
So: uphill climb, yes, and I for one am in favor of it.

Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, has given his government’s blessing to an oil pipeline last week
that would cross Alberta and British Columbia and terminate at the Pacific.
But amid fierce debate over the political, environmental and economic implications of the project,
experts warn that the multibillion-dollar project faces immense – and poorly understood – geological hazards.

‘There’s no monitoring of earthquakes’: new British Columbia pipeline could spell catastrophe, experts warn
Project on ‘very poorly understood’ terrain and likely to pass through Rocky Mountain trench, which researchers say poses immense geological hazard
