Some 8,300 million metric tons of plastics have been manufactured since production exploded in the 1950s, with more than 75 percent ending up as waste and 15 million metric tons reaching oceans every year. Plastic waste fragments into increasingly smaller but environmentally persistent “microplastics,” with potentially harmful effects on the health of people, wildlife and […]
Water Pollution
Low-Cost Solar-Powered Water Filter Removes Lead, Other Contaminants by Princeton University
A new invention that uses sunlight to drive water purification could help solve the problem of providing clean water off the grid. The device resembles a large sponge that soaks up water but leaves contaminants-like lead, oil and pathogens-behind. To collect the purified water from the sponge, one simply places it in sunlight. The researchers […]

A Third Of Global Farmland At ‘High’ Pesticide Pollution Risk by Kelly MacNamara
A third of the planet’s agricultural land is at “high risk” of pesticide pollution from the lingering residue of chemical ingredients that can leach into water supplies and threaten biodiversity, according to research published Monday. The use of pesticides has soared globally as agricultural production has expanded, prompting growing fears over environmental damage and calls […]
Florida Manatees Face New Threat: Rising Levels Of Glyphosate In Blood by Sustainable Pulse
A new study in Environment International found chronic exposure to increasing levels of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller, may have consequences for manatees’ immune and renal systems.A scientific study published last week concludes that Florida manatees are chronically exposed to glyphosate because of application of the herbicide to sugarcane and aquatic weeds.

What Is Killing Bald Eagles In The U.S.? by Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg
Bald eagles, as well as other wildlife, have been succumbing to a mysterious neurodegenerative disease in the southern United States since the 1990s. New research by the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) in Germany and the University of Georgia, U.S., identifies the cause of these deaths: a toxin produced by cyanobacteria that grow on invasive […]

She was there to ask whether it […]
Economic Benefits Of Protecting Nature Now Outweigh Those Of Exploiting It, Global Data Reveal by University of Cambridge
The economic benefits of conserving or restoring natural sites “outweigh” the profit potential of converting them for intensive human use, according to the largest-ever study comparing the value of protecting nature at particular locations with that of exploiting it. The findings, published in the journal Nature Sustainability, come just weeks after a landmark report by […]
Big Oil’s New Plan: Flood The World With Plastics by Megan Redshaw, J.D.
Faced with diminishing demand for fossil fuels, the struggling oil and gas industry is investing billions of dollars in new plants designed to produce millions more tons of plastics — and millions more tons of pollution. As oil companies’ profits sink amid decreasing demand for their product, oil and gas giants are setting their sights […]
Humans Control Majority Of Freshwater Ebb And Flow On Earth, Study Finds by Brown University
The data reveal that even though human-managed reservoirs comprise only a small percentage of all water bodies, they account for 57% of the total seasonal water storage changes globally. “We tend to think of the water cycle as a purely natural system: Rain and snowmelt run into rivers, which run to the ocean where evaporation […]
Continued Plundering Of Nature Will Lead To Total Ecosystem – And Economic – Collapse by Andrea Germanos
A new 600-page review commissioned by Britain’s treasury argues that nothing short of a coordinated, large-scale global recovery plan will bring Earth’s ecosystem back from the brink of collapse. The 600-page review was commissioned by Britain’s Treasury and authored by Partha Dasgupta, professor emeritus of economics at the University of Cambridge, who wrote that gross […]
Millions Of People Drinking Groundwater With Pesticides Or Pesticide Degradates by Beyond Pesticides
A study of groundwater that feeds public drinking water supply finds pesticides in 41% of supply wells (and a handful of freshwater springs). Two-thirds of that 41% contain pesticide compounds per se, and one-third contain pesticide degradates — compounds resulting from biotic (or abiotic) transformation of pesticides into other compounds. A just and rapid transition […]

Manmade Mass Now Outweighs Life On Earth: Study by Patrick Galey
For the first time in history manmade materials now likely outweigh all life on Earth, scientists said Wednesday in research detailing the “crossover point” at which humanity’s footprint is heavier than that of the natural world. The weight of roads, buildings and other constructed or manufactured materials is doubling roughly every 20 years, and authors […]
New Research Adds Evidence That Glyphosate Disrupts Hormones by Carey Gillam
Evidence suggests that Roundup, Monsanto’s well-known glyphosate-based herbicide, can alter the biosynthesis of the sexual hormones.New research is adding worrisome evidence to concerns that the widely used weed-killing chemical glyphosate may have the potential to interfere with human hormones. In a paper published in the journal Chemosphere, Glyphosate and the key characteristics of an endocrine […]
The United States’ Contribution Of Plastic Waste To Land And Ocean
Plastic waste affects environmental quality and ecosystem health. In 2010, an estimated 5 to 13 million metric tons (Mt) of plastic waste entered the ocean from both developing countries with insufficient solid waste infrastructure and high-income countries with very high waste generation. We demonstrate that, in 2016, the United States generated the largest amount of […]
