Sulphuric Shadows
Particulate matter pollution from coal power plants, has resulted in approximately 460,000 deaths in the United States over the past two decades.
Environment
The Bee’s Vapid Poison
Bees cannot detect common lethal pesticides in nectar, risking inadvertent consumption and population decline.
Dissolving Depths
Increased carbon emissions are acidifying oceans, weakening the shells of plankton and marine life, threatening ecosystems.
Soiled Stowaways
Overseas shipping containers may introduce harmful organisms to local environments, potentially causing huge risks to biosecurity protection.
After the Flames
Smoke infiltration indoors after a wildfire carries volatile chemicals that present health challenges. Cleaning proves more effective than ventilation or air purifiers in reducing indoor smoke pollutants.
Flukes and Floats
Reducing fishing gear more effectively prevents humpback whale entanglements in California’s Dungeness crab industry compared to costly, data-intensive dynamic management strategies, ensuring marine safety and uninterrupted fishing.
Death’s Dirty Hands
Fine particle air pollution poses a far greater cardiovascular death risk for Black Americans than White, despite recent reductions.
The Heat is On
Extreme heatwaves caused by climate change are becoming more frequent and severe, necessitating urgent action to mitigate emissions and help vulnerable populations adapt.
Climate’s Ledger
Taxing investments of the wealthy could fund climate action and promote climate justice.
