Study reveals the extent to which nanoplastic pollutes the North Atlantic
Plastic waste pollutes oceans across all regions of the world. Marine animals may become entangled in larger plastic debris such as nets and bags or mistake smaller pieces for food. Ingested plastic can block or injure the gastrointestinal tract. The smallest plastic particles in the micro and nano range are mostly excreted, but a small proportion can pass through the intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream.

Europeans are turning to frozen food to combat food waste, with the UK leading the charge in sustainability. The Move to -15C Coalition aims to reduce energy usage and emissions by resetting frozen food temperature standards.#climatechange #climatesolutions

As well as saving time and money, frozen food can contribute to a more sustainable food system.

We have raspberries growing. When we lived in Seattle we grew kale and picked wild blackberries. All were so much better than anything you get in a grocery store.
I don't eat a lot of fruit these days because its so disappointing to take a bite out of a bland or bitter berry from a plastic carton..

Consider: we came fairly close to extincting the various species crucial to this cycle *AND STILL COULD.*
The problem today isn’t the ongoing symbolic & subsistence whaling, it is that we have ravaged the ocean ecosystem in ways we don’t understand, such as noise pollution.
We really don’t understand enough about the subsystems of the oceans to be fucking with them in the ways we have been during the past century.

Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs,
the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people abroad who need it.
Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food

Frugal habits, not quick fixes, key to tackling global food waste, study finds
Household food waste, a focus of government targets, supermarket campaigns and consumer nudges, is best reduced by fostering lasting habits of frugality and not short-term interventions, according to new research by the University of Portsmouth.

Restoration brings back fresh water, wildlife to degraded páramos in Ecuador
When the sheep were removed, the páramo — high-altitude ecosystems in the Andes — started to heal. Without their waste, water quality improved. Without their hooves compacting the soil, plants began to grow again. Before long, shy white-tailed deer arrived, drawn by the grasses and shrubs for food and shelter. Not long after, pumas reappeared. […]

Good Morning #Canada
Capitalism certainly doesn't waste an opportunity, and as entrepreneurs were trying to make Beavers extinct, they made use of every part, including the Beaver's secretions. Castoreum is a yellowish exudate from the castor sacs of mature Beavers used in combination with urine to scent mark their territory. Butt for centuries Beaver Castor Oil was used to flavour food, make perfumes more interesting, and cure every ailment known to the human race. Rumors persist about its use in many products, but it's rarely used today. I will not make a tasteless, smelly Beaver joke this morning.... you're welcome.

Hungry bugs and disappearing bioplastics hold key to ending plastic waste crisis, say scientists
Scientists are working with microbes found in Australia's unique ecosystem to create bioplastics which break down in land, soil and water. The research aims to tackle one of the most pressing global issues—single-use plastic food packaging: a significant feature of the plastic waste crisis and a special focus for Plastic Free July.

Turning grapevine waste into clear, strong, biodegradable films for food packaging - a sustainable solution to plastic pollution. #climatechange #climatesolutions #climate

Scientists turn grapevine waste into clear, strong films that vanish in days
Amid growing concerns over plastic waste and microplastics, researchers are turning agricultural leftovers into biodegradable packaging. Using cellulose extracted from unlikely sources, including grapevine canes, they have created strong, transparent films that break down in just 17 days without leaving harmful residue.

California Leads Nation in Dairy Farm Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions | Happy Eco News
California dairy farms have cut dairy farm greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 5 million tons of carbon dioxide annually through methane digesters, improved waste management, and herd efficiency gains. This achievement puts the state two-thirds of the way toward its 2030 goal while maintaining milk production leadership and demonstrating economic viability.
