Tires (not straws) are a top source of microplastic pollution.

As they wear down, toxic particles wash from roads into waterways and harm wildlife. But scientists have found a cheap fix: biofilters made from wood chips and plant waste.

Our story republished by PBS Newshour:

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Rain storms wash those tire shards into streams and ultimately into lakes and oceans. That’s bad news for fish and other aquatic life.

Court finds that offshore regulator of gas and oil doesn’t really have to regulate.

Thank you @docsenvaus.bsky.social for taking real #ClimateAction
We are disappointed to announce that the Federal Court today upheld the government’s approval of the Scarborough Gas Project’s environment plan.

After today’s decision, it is clear that Australia’s offshore gas regulations are failing us.

Israel killed 6 more journalists in Gaza last week, bringing the total to 238 since October 2023. When you systematically eliminate the witnesses, genocide becomes much easier to carry out.
