Deposit return schemes (on drinks containers)

Are they still justified in the interests of the environment, as long claimed?

They are an impediment to the EU's internal market in the food/drink sector.

As Week 1 of the ICJ's hearings on States' obligations in respect of climate change comes to a close, peek into the archives! In RECIEL Vol. 1(3), then ICJ President Jennings outlined his vision for the Court's environmental role at Rio 1992.

When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit.

Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention.

Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"

My inpatient PCRs are turning positive again. We are on the cusp of another exponential explosion in cases around Christmas time. Like every year. And YES, it's seasonal now: we've been getting a wave every season! Spring summer autumn winter. It's what you wanted and what you get.

Folks, I too am unsurprised that oil companies hijacked this process. I am one of the reporters who has been covering that effort for the past several years. The point is not to surprise, it’s to document, which then hopefully informs legislation, litigation, change, etc.
COP29 is wrapping up this week and people are (finally) calling for the process to be overhauled to *maybe* reduce oil industry influence over it. New documents we uncovered reveal they used a little known UN org to infiltrate from jump. First of three stories: drilled.media/news/IPIECA1
