"Ashley Furniture spokespeople said the company follows all laws and regulations for furniture manufacturing."

This is a reminder that the "laws and regulations" just define the worst you can do without criminal or civil penalties.

The laws and regulations do not mean that it is safe. Just that the company cannot be held accountable for their actions if they follow "all laws and regulations"

"Our invertebrate monitoring shows clear evidence of significant chemical impact across all the 100-plus rivers we monitor. It ties together chemical presence with widespread ecological impact. It makes poo in rivers look like a second-order problem.”

Governments making people think #climatechange is the only threat only helps #capitalism to wreak more havoc. People are persuaded to think they could keep their economic #prosperity, just by doing everything "green." This is a lie. Sc #GreenEnergy alone would need way too much raw materials than the earth could give us; and their extraction means more #ChemicalPollution than we already have. Now add all other material goods people are not willing to give up.
WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR WAY OF LIFE!!

#Oceans are already grappling with #GlobalWarming, #OceanAcidification, #BiodiversityLoss, #BottomTrawling, #Overfishing and #ChemicalPollution, especially #PlasticPollution.

#DeepSeaMining threatens to destabilize marine ecosystems even further. Moreover, as far as I know, the environmental impacts are not well understood but they'd certainly be devastating for marine life.

It's outrageous to attempt to justify the destruction of the #DeepSea in order to do the #EnergyTransition.

Two Horizon projects, Imptox and EDIAQI, announce a scientific partnership on researching #microplastics in indoor environments.
