Accepting immigrants is one option, but I hope it doesn't end up like Japan.

Я сподіваюся, що прийняти іммігрантів є одним із варіантів і що ми не закінчимо, як Японія.

How a Changing Climate Is Reshaping the Spread of Infectious Diseases
"...Then you have this convergence of crises—the #ClimateCrisis overlapping with the #PollutionCrisis. So you get this intersection between air pollution and respiratory #diseases, and then infectious diseases more broadly, all layered on top of a changing #climate.
When it comes to waterborne and foodborne diseases, the link to #ClimateChange is even more direct. As temperatures rise, you create more favorable conditions for #bacteria and other #pathogens to multiply. They thrive in warm environments—soil, water, contaminated areas—so warming can increase their abundance.
#ExtremeWeather events are also a big factor here. Aedes #mosquitoes need water to complete their life cycle—from egg to larva to pupa, it all happens in #water. When #floods occur, all the discarded #plastic and #trash lying around fill with water and becomes the ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes.
What’s interesting is that these diseases aren’t just associated with floods—they’re also linked to #droughts. That might seem counterintuitive at first, but in many parts of the world, people don’t have safe, reliable access to clean water, especially during drought conditions. So they store water in containers that aren’t properly sealed or protected, which too can become the perfect breeding sites for mosquitoes.
Infections—particularly vector-borne diseases—are increasingly reemerging and emerging in new areas around the world for a lot of different reasons. Climate change is definitely part of that, with rising temperatures and more extreme weather events like floods and droughts. But the way we live our lives and interact with the environment also plays a huge role. I mean, first and foremost, most of us now live in urban areas rather than rural ones..."

Time to go dumpster diving in the Netherlands.
"The agency concluded there were several reasons why the artworks could have been taken out with the trash, including a complete absence of any policies, procedures or guidelines for 'the registration, storage, conservation and security of artworks.'"
SAN DIEGO:
We had our "trash fee notice" in the mail today. Why does the city need to employ a ton of new people (eligible for pension) for trash service? Please oppose this tone-deaf implementation. Send in your protest note.
Summary/rehash of this by a YouTuber (which has no paywall)
My company makes #AI stuff for image processing - you know, what it was originally for and really good at. So anyways we're outside the office today cleaning up trash for #EarthDay and I said aloud "Hey, if only we could train #robots and AI models to fucking do this." but noone caught the irony.
Those AI techbros are training these models on the wrong stuff to do the wrong thing. We don't need AI to do our art or write our poetry, we need it to do our #laundry and pick up #trash.
A Sushi bar nearby has multiple bins for recycling, compost and trash. I ususally take an effort to use the correct one. Today I saw that they just mix it all together into the same black bags. Sorry, but that's just insulting your customers.
Where Your Trash Goes
Trash interests me. I'm odd that way.
A drone's eye view of the Calabasas Landfill shows their technique of laying down a bunch of strips of plastic and then just shoving the trash onto it, then covering it with dirt and anot
And now this! Welcome to the new #USSR. #snitch on your colleagues.

What about anti-#Muslim bias? And anti-#Hindu bias? And anti-#Buddhist bias? These criminals #trash the #constitution daily and the #GOP / #MAGA are ok with it; rather they cheer it on. GOP is now the embodiment of everything anti-#American. Oh, how the party of #Lincoln has #fallen!
All these bearings no longer do what they are supposed to do. Roll well. What am I supposed to do with these now? They dont look serviceable?
Overheard: I can't buy tiny jars for my small batch honey because of the inflation slash tariffs etc.

I have spent the last 2 years focusing on waste management, especially that of Electronic Waste—from the mining of the resources to the discarding of the commodities, and while we are well aware of the pattern of disparity between the over-consumption in the Global North and overproduction in the Global Majority parts of the world, the problems largely still exists. Who to blame, somebody is surely making profits from this trade deal.
Anthropocene is a (Poubelle)ocene.
Certain headlines, like the one below, always make me feel disgusted, knowing that the patterns of dreadful and atrocious colonial practices are still prevalent. I am so perplexed as to what design thinking hat to put on or what circular economy principles to explain the exporting of trash to their previous colonies.
Not only that, but in a recent survey commissioned by the Repair Campaign (https://repaircampaign.org/), more than 2,000 people in the UK found that 85% did not know that more than 3 million people had been forcibly shipped from Africa to the Caribbean by British enslavers. It also found 89% were unaware British merchants had enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years.
As Dr. Shashi Tharoor has mentioned various times, "And LOOT, a Hindi word which the Britishers took into their dictionaries as well as their habit" (Link below of the talk of Dr. Shashi Tharoor - Looking Back at the British Raj in India at the University of Edinburgh)
