“A study by an Indonesian NGO challenges government claims that oil palm cultivation is a driver of economic welfare and development, showing that the environmental and social damage from plantations in the country’s Papua region vastly outweigh any benefits.

The climate crisis is a book of many stories, but one of the hardest to tell is about the loss of places you love.
Here's a photo I took a few weeks ago from a hilltop near my mom's place in Red Bluff, CA looking east to Mt. Lassen. A wild and beautiful part of the state, now being torched by #ParkFire that is accelerated by conditions created by our hell-bent consumption of fossil fuels (my mom's house, for the moment, is safe).

A study found that Indonesians consume about 15 grams of microplastics per capita per month, more than any other country. Most of these plastic particles come from water sources, including seafood.
The concentration of microplastics in table salt in Indonesia is rated 100 times higher than that of salt in the United States.

The UN-backed SBTi net-zero target validator started removing firms with commitments that did not make the grade early last year.
