Africa: Innovations in Africa's Waste Material Mgmt!: [The Point] Africa's rapid population growth, increasing economic activities, and ever-expanding urbanisation have resulted in unprecedented augmenting of waste materials. Subsequently, this has led to expanding risky waste material sites because the waste pollution from these sites has reached a state of emergency across the African… http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TNqMRd #WasteManagement #Innovation #SustainableAfrica #Urbanization #PollutionCrisis

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..."

😢 Poor axolotl! This article laments the fate of these little water critters, but fails to mention they've been dodging extinction longer than most Twitter accounts survive. 🌍 Meanwhile, Basilio's net skills could give a TED talk on catching nothing but pollution! 🎣

Microplastics Found in Unlikely Places !
Microplastics have spread to surprising locations: human placentas, ancient rocks, clogged arteries, blue whales, baby poop, Antarctica, near Mount Everest's peak, the ocean floor, and now even testicles.
The pervasive reach of these tiny pollutants is truly alarming. #Microplastics #EnvironmentalImpact #PollutionCrisis #pollution #plasticpollution

“six out of nine #PlanetaryBoundaries have been broken because of human-caused pollution and destruction of the natural world. The planetary boundaries are the limits of key global systems – such as climate, water and wildlife diversity – beyond which their ability to maintain a healthy planet is in danger of failing…the world is on the brink of multiple disastrous tipping points”

This week #funding for #Antarctic #science was cut by $25 million, at a time when Antarctic ice loss is critically low (2.6 million square kilometers of sea ice have been lost, currently at the lowest levels in at least 120 yr). As a result of these budget cuts, important science projects including surveys of sea-ice thickness have been cancelled. Meanwhile, $200 million in funding has just been announced by the same government in the same week for #sports.
Virtually every news broadcast has a dedicated sports segment played on (very frequent) loop around the clock in Australia. We have dedicated sports channels, radio blocked out for days at time. Our children can rattle off their favourite players jersey numbers along with endless stats about who won what game or medal. Yet when I speak with school groups NONE can answer the question “who’s your favourite Australian scientist?”. We are so fortunate to have WORLDCLASS scientists in Australia! Those individuals don’t do it for fame or fortune. In fact, most are employed on horrendous casual contracts, massively overworked, burdened with #ecogrief and woefully underpaid. They don’t get airtime. Their selflessness and dedication to the voiceless (nature) and greater good isn’t celebrated. We don’t win medals.
FFS Australia, teach your children about the real heroes. Fund those working to make society a better, safer, fairer place. Stop being distracted by pretty shiny things. Please, we are 💯 running out of time! #ClimateCrisis #BrainDrain #BiodiversityCrisis #PollutionCrisis
Around the world, researchers are fighting a losing battle to save the world’s #linguistic #diversity. The most optimistic estimates suggest that half the estimated 5,000 #languages spoken today, from Siberia to the Australian Outback, Africa to the Amazon, could vanish by the end of the century.
