The #UN shipping agency is on the cusp of introducing binding regulations to phase out fossil fuel use in global #shipping — with the world’s first-ever global #emissions levy on the table.

"It would be an absolute game-changer."

This would be absolutely incredible... but my first though with anything good these days is: "Now watch the #US and #Russia stand against it and kill this great thing for humanity"

CNBCWorld's first-ever global emissions tax is on the table at crunch shipping talksAlthough far from a foregone conclusion, a robust pricing mechanism in the shipping sector would be considered one of the climate deals of the decade.

Written by a highly qualified academic with significant research experience in microplastic pollution treatment, green polymer material functionalization, and recycling of solid waste, Microplastics in the Environment explores sample topics including: Characteristics of microplastics, such as their large specific surface area and small size, resulting in the formation of composite contamination New microplastics blocking approaches and technologies, and the mechanism of microplastics generation under the coupling effect of multiple environmental factors Transport and migration of microplastics, as well as their ecotoxicity to organisms in various environments, especially the complex estuarine environment The current state of plastic production, with insight on how society can find solutions to the expanding plastics industry Microplastics in the Environment is an essential reference on the subject for polymer chemists, materials scientists, environmental chemists, plastics technologists, and ecotoxicologists, as well as all professionals in the plastics industry, especially those focused on sustainability.

A sinister gathering, RGA members support #fossilfuels:

Also pro-FF: RAGA, RNC, Sen GOP, HSE GOP, state GOP legs...

The meeting was held at the Chalmette oil refinery -EPA report: out of compliance with fed benzene regs. In 2020, fires at the FAC caused releases of sulphur dioxide, sending foul odors across the region.

The event was convened by the Republican Govs. Public Policy CME -accepts funding from the US’s largest FF trade org, the API.

Despite the risk of military explosives, TC Energy wants to build ‘Ontario’s battery’ on Georgian Bay

"Pumping water in and out of a National Defence site in Meaford could be a win for clean energy. Locals are wary of TC Energy’s track record — and the buried weapons putting soil, water and wildlife at risk"

Not #Today but an every day phenomenon...the wastes we produce end up in places we do not expect.

A recent-ish outing to help kids understand the connection between the natural environment and the materials we use and dispose.

The #shoreline of the Columbia #River provide a useful exposure to wastes tossed locally and wastes that have travelled and been deposited.

Primary wastes found include cigarette butts and broken glass/bottle caps...of local origin, along with #microplastics, #plastic and #Styrofoam that have likely been transported before #deposition in #shoreline #sediments.

Photo shows wastes collected earlier sorted on concrete sidewalk into piles of glass, cigarette butts, bottle caps, plastics (Styrofoam, predominantly) and other like materials to help kids understand where the wastes originated.
