Er moet steeds vaker gemaaid worden door stikstofdepositie en klimaatverandering. Hoe doe je dat met zo min mogelijk schade aan insecten? In deze aflevering spreekt Anthonie over maaidilemma's met Yavanna Aartsma, onderzoeker bij Wageningen Environmental Research en Koen Verhoogt projectleider bij De Vlinderstichting. Zij publiceren binnenkort nieuw OBN-onderzoek naar de effecten van maaibeheer op insecten en manieren om maaischade te beperken. Waarom maaien we eigenlijk? En kun je niet veel beter de natuur haar gang laten gaan in plaats van te maaien? Het blijkt toch iets genuanceerder te liggen dan dat. Om graslanden te behouden is begrazing of maaibeheer nodig. Maar maaibeheer blijft de gemoederen bezighouden. Zo ontstond er recent discussie over klepelmaaien door de waterschappen. Waar gaat die discussie eigenlijk om? En hoe komen we eruit? Beheerders van graslanden, bermen, dijken en watergangen hebben verschillende mogelijkheden om maaibeheer zo gunstig mogelijk te laten uitpakken voor natuur. In deze aflevering bespreken we ze en geven we praktische tips. Ook gaan we in op innovaties aan maaimachines, die in het onderzoek op hun ecologische effectiviteit zijn beoordeeld. Wat komt daaruit? En hoe komen we verder met maaibeheer in de Lage Landen? Koen geeft ‘Waarom wespen rupsen hersenspoelen' van Matt Simon als leestip. Yavanna tipt ‘De wesp' van Seirian Sumner.

Matt Simon on the Plastics Crisis

Here's The Thing with Alec Baldwin

It has been found at the top of Mount Everest, the bottom of the ocean, and even inside the human body: plastic, once revered as a modern miracle, is now a global threat. Minimally recycled, it never fully disappears; instead, it simply breaks down into tiny particles called microplastics, which contaminate the air we breathe and the water we drink. In “A Poison Like No Other: How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies,” science journalist Matt Simon exposes the far-reaching consequences of this omnipresent material on both our environment and our health. Simon, formerly a staff writer at “WIRED” and now a senior staff writer at Grist, a non-profit media organization focused on climate solutions, joins host Alec Baldwin to discuss the alarming impact of plastic pollution, ways to reduce personal exposure, and the urgent solution he believes is needed to tackle this environmental crisis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

People everywhere are hot for heat pumps. These electric appliances—which perform the same heating and cooling tasks as traditional HVAC systems, just much more efficiently—have been outselling gas furnaces over the past couple of years. Their proliferation seems to be pointing more towards an energy-conscious electric future in people's homes. And, four months ago, nine states in the US signed a memorandum of understanding that says that heat pumps should make up at least 65 percent of residential heating, air conditioning, and water-heating shipments by 2030.But, what exactly is a heat pump? How does it work? How much does it cost to replace your furnace with one, and how much money does making the switch actually save you in the long run?

Welcome back for another episode of Nick's Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz In A Poison Like No Other, Matt Simon reveals a whole new dimension to the plastic crisis, one even more disturbing than plastic bottles washing up on shores and grocery bags dumped in landfills. Dealing with discarded plastic is bad enough, but when it starts to break down, the real trouble begins. The very thing that makes plastic so useful and ubiquitous – its toughness – means it never really goes away. It just gets smaller and smaller: eventually small enough to enter your lungs or be absorbed by crops or penetrate a fish's muscle tissue before it becomes dinner.

Summer isn't even over here in the Northern Hemisphere, but it's already been a brutal few months. This year's summer heat waves have been more frequent, more intense, and longer than any we've seen before. We've suffered through extreme weather events caused by those heat waves. We've seen wildfires that have been made more intense by climate change. We've had failures in infrastructure, industry, and the food supply. And of course, these problems are only getting worse. We're looking at a future where extreme heat is just the new normal. This week, we bring WIRED senior science writer Matt Simon onto the show to talk about where all the heat is coming from and what it's doing to the environment. We also talk about how quickly the problem of excessive heat is accelerating, and what—if anything—humans can do to slow it down, or at least lessen the damage it causes. Show Notes: Read Matt's stories about heat waves, the wildfires in Lahaina, Maui, and how the heat is affecting the ocean's food chains. You can find all of Matt's WIRED stories in one place. Also, listen to Matt's appearances on two previous episodes referenced in this week's talk, when we spoke about microplastics and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.  Recommendations: Matt recommends the 24 Hours book series that looks at different ancient societies.

What We Discuss with Matt Simon: Microplastics contain a cocktail of toxic chemicals, many of which are linked to diseases like diabetes and cancer. Microplastics break even further into nanoplastics, which are small enough to move through human organs — including the brain — and enter our cells. Nearly everything around you — carpets, curtains, coasters, cups, packaging, clothing, couches, beds — contains plastic, and it all sheds plastic particles. Your home is one of the most polluted places – you could inhale as many as 7,000 microplastics a day. What we can do to reduce our exposure to microplastics and decrease our reliance on overall plastic consumption. And much more...

Plastic waste never really breaks down. It just splits into tinier and tinier pieces until it becomes trillions of microscopic bits scattered across the world. Microplastics are everywhere: In the air we breathe and the water we drink, atop the highest mountains and in the deepest parts of the ocean. Microplastics are even coursing through our bloodstreams and sitting in our digestive systems. It's a problem we have only recently begun to understand, and are still trying to figure out how to solve. This week on Gadget Lab, Matt Simon, WIRED climate writer and author of the new book A Poison Like No Other, joins us to talk about how microplastics became such a scourge and what—if anything—we can do about it.

Plastic is designed to last. And last it does. Often composed of “forever chemicals” which take thousands of years to break down, it flakes throughout its life into microplastics — fragments, fibers and films less than 5 millimeters long. Microplastics are everywhere: they're in our air, our water and our food, and they're in our own bodies. And their effect on human health is still largely unknown, writes Wired science journalist Matt Simon in his new book “A Poison Like No Other.” Simon joins us to discuss the extent of the microplastic threat and what we can do.

The United States government just passed the Inflation Reduction Act, a sweeping piece of legislation that allocates nearly $400 billion dollars to fund clean energy and climate efforts. A big chunk of that amount is earmarked for tax credits for consumers. So if you want to install solar panels, buy better windows, purchase a heat pump, or start driving an electric vehicle, there's a good chance you could get some money to offset the cost. This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED writers Aarian Marshall and Matt Simon join us to talk about the ins and outs of the Inflation Reduction Act and how you can score some of those sweet, sweet tax credits. They also tell us what some of the changes mean for the automobile and construction industries. Show Notes Read Matt's story about how the Inflation Reduction Act could save you money.
