A new study led by an international team of scientists highlights tire particles (TPs) as the leading contributor to microplastics and calls for urgent, targeted research to address their unique environmental and health risks.
Accounting for nearly one-third of all microplastics,
Well, the Italins just pressure the Swiss Government like the Fench did.

I started my working life as a Trainee Surveyor back in the 80s and 90s with The Main Roads Dept of Qld. I walked 1000s of kms of roads doing surveys, and encountered many many thousands of dead animals, not just on the road, but the verge, the table drains etc. It was a constant stench of dead animal as I walked and cars roared past...
They greatest ecological crime we have ever commited as a species is the road.
Haha this is one of those i didn't know i needed this umtil I read it, thanks for that.
But seriously I'd kind of thought it would be nice but didn't even think to investigate getting it to work.
I don't agree with much of the article at all, he's approaching it complety from a philsiophical bent which i think is self defeating eg why does Monbiot propose producing vegan food in labs as the only way foward ? Becase farming has gone past a tipping point of sustainability. To then equate how we farm (mega industrial farming) to his litte plot of land is folly. As someone who does much the same its in no way able to sustain 8 Billion people, I don't even sustian myself, just supplement it. (My parter does lots of the work, i do the grunt work)
I'm not sure what the article even hopes to achieve?.
I do agree that no language is nonsese but I also agree with Diamond that agriculture was the worse of all mistakes, in hindsight..
For me anarchonprmitivism is the only sustainable system to live upon the planet, it's "perfect" in that respect.
But we only know that with hindsight We can see that for example the Australian First Nations peoples lived 60,000 years in balance. That doesn't mean no impact, as they killed mega fauna to the pont of extinction but the introduction of any top predator has that effect eg the domestic cat in Australia has sent countless species extinct.
In every society that survived millennia, inequaity was always the key.
A good segue is Tom Murphys series here on the cancer of modernity

So, if they raised you well enough to survive into adulthood and you're not a sociopath, you're not going to let them starve in the street.
There's a huge diffeence between a healthy enegaged okder person and living on the street. Most aren't going to look after you and most aren't going to see you starve iwb the steeet. You'll get somethibg on between and basic care from most, it's why the kids ditch them into to aged care facilities in the developed world.
That's just an argument that democracy cant work. Because voyers are too feeble minded to discern the wheat from the chaff.
I'd give this some credence if it was a "fool me once" but that's not what this is.
If voters are gullible fools that we can be easily misled then that does explain why we're here and why it can never be anything else.
As Orwell opined in an essay in 1937, democracies always tend to fascism if times are tough. Even relatively tough, with the poorest American being better off then the poorest 50% of the planet.
Right behind you my dude.
Grumpy young boomers
Get off my internet!
I dont know, I've watched all of Mando and I don't have Disney+ or a wife, and will never have either. i prefer living in the double sin or torrenting and having a parter I'm not married to
Maybe Pedro will come kick my ass but I'm okay with that.
Same thing happened to RFK Jr
Pretty much , anyone remember the Florida hurricanes ? No ?, what about the 5 that have hit The Philippines in the last month ? No? What about the mega fires in Canada ? The mega fires in Australia 5 years ago ? Pakostan underwater ? No? And on and on
