Do you believe in aliens. Life forms vastly different from humans and other animals, creatures with multiple legs and eyes, wings, tongues, and antenna thrice the length of their bodies. Well, they're here and they've lived in harmony with every previous generation of humans until now.These aliens are insects, bugs, creatures, or as we call them in South Africa, hos. But they are disappearing faster than we can discover them. Global insect populations are rapidly declining, bringing with it the six mass ext ...

So let me take you on a journey. What if the factory of the future is ethical, regenerative, and beautiful for our cities, for our eyes, for our souls. On a wooden table in Athens, a jacket lays open.The lining is torn. The woman repairing it had one sewn under threat. But tonight she just finished giving a lecture.And as she closes the last stitch, she puts her name on the label. Not a logo, a name. You can feel it in the room.When we make, we belong. And belonging changes everything. This is the fashion f ...

Glass bottle maximalist in shambles.Mikli (@CryptoMikli):Bryan Johnson reveals that water from glass bottles has MORE microplastics than water from plastic bottles''When you look at the data, the microplastics don't come from the glass, they come from the lid and it's the paint that goes in the lid and then it chips off''''That's https://t.co/ZNpIkS5eiR ...

Brian Johnson. >> Brian Johnson. Brian Johnson. Venture capitalist who is obsessed with living forever. It's not science. >> And I even used my own son as my blood. >> It's just attention. >> As of yet undefined in the future, you will die. The only objective we have is don't die. for a new era of longevity [music] is here. We already have the ability to go from 30 years of age to zero. And I think we're going to have our first longevity [music] drugs or therapies in the coming years. And when that happens, ...

It was my privilege uh 15 years ago to address this conference and I was asked to talk about an angle of the Pacific garbage patch that we were uniquely qualified to talk about because we had conducted a study of 10 people. We tested them for over 400 toxic chemicals. We found dozens and dozens of plastic related chemicals.An average of 200 chemicals in each one of these individuals. Now, we don't really know much about them. About all we know is that all of them look something like this when the exposure h ...

Do you consider yourself violent. Most of us don't. We think of violence as something physical, explosive, something other people do.So did I when I set off decades ago to pursue my doctorate in international peace and conflict. But what I discovered is that every day most of us participate in acts of violence. Not because we're bad people, but because the systems in which we live make it almost impossible not to.In 2014, I founded Vessel, one of the world's first tech- enabled reusable to-go foodware syste ...

Environmental Impact of Plastics - Plastic pollution is pervasive, with micro and nanoplastics found in various environments, including Antarctica [1][2] - The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is three times the size of California [3] - Plastics are found in crops, blood, brains, reproductive organs, and breast milk, indicating widespread human exposure [4] Plastic Production and Projections - Plastic production has increased dramatically from 2 million tons annually in the 1950s to a projected 460 million tons in 2025 [4][5] - The fossil fuel industry is investing heavily in plastic production as clean energy alternatives scale [4] Call to Action and Solutions - Stopping plastic production at the source is crucial, as cleanup efforts alone are insufficient [5] - Increased awareness and conscious consumer choices are essential to reduce plastic consumption [6] - Aligning personal actions with the desire for a regenerative world can lead to positive change [11]

Environmental Impact of Plastics - 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels, contributing to climate crisis as oil and gas companies increase plastic production [3] - By 2050, the amount of plastic could double or triple, exacerbating the climate crisis [4] - Over 4,200 out of 16,000 chemicals associated with plastic production pose significant hazards to human and environmental health [4][5] - Microplastics are found in remote environments, water, air, and even human organs, including the placenta and testicles [5][6] - The average human brain contains the equivalent of one plastic spoon's worth of microplastics [7] Plastic Production and Usage - 40% of all plastic produced today is used for packaging, which are often used briefly but last forever [8] - The industry is flooding markets with plastics and concealing the risks associated with it [4] Solutions and Alternatives - Reducing single-use plastics through policy reforms, brand audits, corporate accountability, and zero waste initiatives are crucial [11] - Investing in reuse systems, like the milkman model, can restore health and community connections [12] - Ending the unchecked production of plastics is essential to protect the environment and human health [12][13] Environmental Justice - Communities near production sites, landfills, and incinerators, often black, brown, indigenous, and rural communities, are disproportionately affected by plastic pollution [6]

When world leaders come together to solve the problem of plastic pollution, what do they need to get the job done. Well, to start, they need scientists. So, when I was a kid growing up in southern Louisiana, I spent so much of my summer collecting snakes and turtles.When I was 14 years old, my clubhouse was full of aquariums. There were snakes everywhere. I had a backyard pond.My mom let me dig with I counted 96 turtles. There baby alligator in there somewhere. I was a kid with a neighborhood zoo and I love ...

RT vittorio (@IterIntellectus)plastic recycling is one of the most successful corporate frauds in history and everyone fell for itin the 1980s the plastic industry faced regulation that would've killed their businesstheir solution was to spend $50 million convincing you that recycling would fix everything, while their own internal documents proved they knew only <10% of plastic was recyclablethey lied deliberately. with documentation.the results of their fraud:- 9% of plastic ever produced has been recycled ...
