A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food.

What’s in the millions of tonnes of sludge sprayed on to farmland? The answer won’t make you happy | George Monbiot

“As every enterprise seeks efficiencies, the system loses its redundancy ... “
In this week's column, I explore what I see as a very real prospect of systemic collapse, caused by Trump's actions, and suggest we start preparing.
I try to explain how complex systems fail, and suggest some of the failure paths we could be on.

There are many ways Trump could trigger a global collapse. Here’s how to survive if that happens | George Monbiot
It could be wildfires, a pandemic or a financial crisis. The super-rich will flee to their bunkers – the rest of us will have to fend for ourselves, writes columnist George Monbiot

As happened in the 1920s and 1950s, the UK is once again heading into a period of public debate about pylons being built through rural areas.
The Science Museum has a great archive of those earlier public information campaigns

Over 100 years ago, this photograph of two painters on a hazy Dordogne riverbank was created by the Autochrome process ~ it produced dream-like, light-filled colour images without artificial colourising, & was the main colour process until the 1930s (Gervais-Courtellemont)

February’s job - cleaning out the bat attic! We have breeding Brown long-eared bats, and they return very early spring to breed. Usually there is a lot more droppings, so last year was not a good year from them :(
