Amazon soy pact collapse could add 1.4 million hectares of deforestation by 2036
The collapse of a landmark Amazon soy pact will drive at least 1.4 million hectares (3.5 million acres) of extra deforestation in Brazil over the next decade, releasing carbon emissions equal to Canada's annual output, according to an analysis published Thursday.

Jeżeli są tu jacyś fani serialu #JackReacher to daje cynka, że w dniu premiery ostatniego odcinka bieżącego sezonu #Amazon #PrimeVideo wydało spin-off o #Neagley. Od razu cały sezon wypuścili. Jeszcze nie oglądałem, ale na pewno sprawdzę. Wziąłem się też za książki. Jestem aktualnie jakoś w połowie drugiej i też są fajne.

A while ago I rescued all my ebooks from amazon and converted all of them to epubs. Except one. So today I spent an hour trying to pry it from the cold evil hands of the Bezos and finally succeeded. Fuck you big tech, and the horse you rode in on.
