Dans le supplément de ce dimanche, en première partie, histoire de gang pour commencer. Le Soudan du Sud, dernier au classement de l'ONU en développement humain, est marqué par une forte criminalité juvénile à Juba, la capitale. Ces jeunes organisés en gangs font régner la terreur dans les rues, délaissés par leurs familles sous le trauma de la guerre civile. En deuxième partie, objectif dépollution de la baie de Dakar. La capitale sénégalaise est bien belle et ses alentours au fort potentiel de loisirs et de tourisme. Mais voilà, la grande baie de Hann est polluée. Gravement pollué. Comment faire marche arrière ? (Rediffusion) Soudan du Sud: à Juba, les jeunes sous l'emprise des gangs Vols à l'arrachée, cambriolages nocturnes, combats de rue à coups de machette… À Juba, la capitale du Soudan du Sud, la criminalité des jeunes explose. Des dizaines de gangs quadrillent la ville. Leurs membres sont en majorité des adolescents ayant fui leurs familles démunies, voire maltraitantes, souvent durement frappées par la guerre civile. Pour eux, le gang est une nouvelle famille, et c'est une source de subsistance. Mais c'est surtout un univers violent, un piège. Nous sommes allés à la rencontre de ces jeunes gangsters de Juba, que l'ONG Gredo, soutenue par l'Unicef, tente d'aider à s'en sortir. Un Grand reportage de Florence Miettaux qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. À Dakar, sauver la baie de Hann de l'asphyxie La capitale sénégalaise, côté pile, incarne le décor idyllique des cartes postales : corniche qui surplombe l'océan Atlantique, plages animées et surfeurs. Mais côté face, la réalité de Dakar est tout autre. La baie de Hann est massivement polluée. Elle s'étend sur 20 kilomètres à l'est de la capitale et abrite : le port de Dakar, des quartiers de pêcheurs et une vaste zone industrielle. Autrefois appréciée des habitants et des visiteurs pour ses eaux calmes et ses plages de sable fin, la baie est aujourd'hui envahie par les ordures : 65% des déchets industriels et 35% des déchets ménagers de Dakar y sont déversés. Pollution maximum, danger pour la santé. Un nouveau projet de dépollution, lancé en 2018, avance doucement. Une grosse station d'épuration devrait être achevée l'an prochain, et tout le réseau d'assainissement repensé. Un Grand reportage de Juliette Dubois qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

Amphibians are among the most threatened groups of animals on Earth, making them critical indicators of ecosystem health and biodiversity preservation. In this episode, we are joined by Mark Mandica, Executive Director of Amphibian Foundation, who shares his expertise on amphibian ecology, conservation biology, and the urgent need to protect these keystone species and ecosystem engineers. His leadership highlights how amphibians are at the heart of biodiversity management and biodiversity conservation strategies worldwide.Despite their ancient evolutionary history and vital ecological roles, amphibians are facing an unprecedented crisis. Pollution, habitat loss, disease, and the escalating impacts of climate change are driving widespread declines in amphibian biodiversity, with serious consequences for freshwater ecosystems and wildlife ecology. Amphibians such as frogs, salamanders, and caecilians are not only fascinating in their biology but are also shaping freshwater ecosystems and influencing the survival of countless other forms of wildlife. Their sensitivity to pollution, habitat degradation, and shifts in freshwater ecology makes them some of the most powerful biodiversity indicators, helping us measure the health of freshwater biodiversity and ecosystems.Mark discusses how amphibian conservation intersects with conservation biology at large. He examines the threats amphibians face from environmental pollutants, agricultural runoff, and urban expansion, as well as the spread of deadly pathogens like chytrid fungus. He also explains how amphibian conservation is directly linked to broader biodiversity preservation, since their survival influences ecosystem stability, food webs, and freshwater biodiversity across rivers, wetlands, and streams.Amphibians also illustrate the deep connections between wildlife biology, climate change, and the climate crisis. As global temperatures rise, amphibians are losing habitat, experiencing altered breeding cycles, and facing water stress in freshwater ecosystems. Their declines foreshadow broader biodiversity loss, making amphibian conservation urgent for protecting both wildlife and human futures. Conservation biology initiatives increasingly recognize amphibians as frontline species in the battle to mitigate biodiversity loss and adapt to environmental change.We also explore practical approaches to amphibian conservation, from habitat restoration and protection of freshwater ecosystems to addressing pollution and promoting climate resilience. By integrating amphibian ecology into biodiversity management and biodiversity conservation strategies, researchers and conservationists are not only protecting amphibians but also securing the ecological services that healthy freshwater biodiversity provides.This conversation with Mark and the Amphibian Foundation underscores that saving amphibians is about far more than protecting a single group of animals—it is about maintaining biodiversity hotspots, sustaining ecosystem balance, and ensuring that wildlife and people alike benefit from thriving freshwater ecology. Amphibians remind us that conservation biology must address the intersections of pollution, climate change, and biodiversity preservation. Their story is a powerful call to action to safeguard amphibian biodiversity and confront the global climate crisis.#amphibians #amphibianconservation #amphibianbiodiversity #amphibianecology #biodiversityindictaors #keystonespecies #ecosystemengineers #amphibian #freshwaterecology #freshwaterbiodiversity #freshwaterecosystems #biodiversity #biodiversitymanagement #biodiversityconservation #biodiversitypreservation #wildlife #wildlifeecology #wildlifebiology #conservationbiology #pollution #climatechange #climatecrisis Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

Il y a quelques jours, je me suis plongée dans le livre de mon invitée, No More Plastic: comment le plastique ruine notre santé.  Je croyais avoir compris l'enjeu du plastique, sujet que j'avais traité plusieurs fois dans des épisodes de Demain N'attend Pas. Et pourtant… en trois heures de lecture, ma vision a basculé. J'ai levé les yeux du livre, j'ai regardé mon appartement, mes placards… et j'ai pris conscience de l'ampleur des dégâts : nous vivons littéralement dans le plastique.  Ses fonctionnalités extraordinaires (résistance, durabilité, légereté, imperméabilisation, brillance...) en ont fait un matériaux de base pour toutes les industries.  Résultat : le plastique est partout autour de nous. Dans nos bouteilles et nos contenants, dans nos vêtements et nos chaussures, dans nos crèmes, nos vernis et nos shampooings, dans nos produits ménagers, et jusque dans notre nourriture... Partout.  Aujourd'hui, je suis ravie d'accueillir Rosalie Mann, fondatrice de la No More Plastic Foundation, une ONG engagée contre la pollution plastique, et autrice du livre No More Plastic, comment le plastique ruine notre santé publié aux éditions La Plage.Rosalie nous rappelle la réalité des chiffres :

The science hasn't changed, but the policy has. EPA's repeal of the Endangerment Finding removes the legal foundation for regulating climate pollution from vehicles, power plants, and the oil and gas sector. Joseph Goffman from the Environmental Protection Network says the consequences could be swift, severe, and irreversible.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Depuis deux mois, la consommation de l'eau du robinet est interdite dans une vingtaine de communes de la Meuse et des Ardennes, dans le nord-est de la France, en raison d'une pollution record aux PFAS, les « polluants éternels ». Les habitants s'inquiètent des conséquences pour leur santé et les élus locaux se disent démunis. Dans le garage de Marion, habitante de Malandry (Ardennes) depuis 17 ans, quatre packs d'eau ont trouvé place sur une étagère. « Il faut que j'aille en racheter, car je n'ai plus de stock », remarque cette assistante familiale. C'est devenu une habitude depuis deux mois : privée d'une consommation d'eau courante, elle se rend chaque semaine au supermarché pour acheter de l'eau en bouteille. « Je n'ai pas le choix, d'autant que j'accueille de très jeunes enfants. Il est hors de question que je leur fasse consommer l'eau du robinet », poursuit-elle. Depuis le 5 juillet dans la Meuse, et le 10 juillet dans les Ardennes, la consommation de l'eau du robinet est interdite par les préfectures pour 3 500 habitants résidant dans une vingtaine de communes en raison d'une contamination aux PFAS (substances per- et polyfluoroalkylées) dans des proportions jamais atteintes en France jusqu'à présent. Dans une enquête publiée en juillet par Disclose et France 3, deux médias à l'origine des révélations, on apprend que les taux mesurés dans ces communes sont de trois à 27 fois supérieurs à la limite définie par les autorités sanitaires, fixée à 100 nanogrammes par litre pour la somme de 20 PFAS jugés préoccupants par l'Union européenne. Ces PFAS, aussi appelés « polluants éternels », sont des molécules synthétiques réputées indestructibles dans l'environnement et l'organisme. Risques cardio-vasculaires, cancers, baisse de la fertilité... Leur toxicité pour l'homme est de plus en plus documentée. À lire aussiComment les PFAS, « polluants éternels », ont contaminé le monde? « Est-ce que ça va aggraver sa maladie ? » « Lorsque l'on fait le choix de vivre à la campagne, on s'attend à avoir un cadre de vie de qualité et on se rend compte que ce n'est pas le cas », se désole Annick, une autre résidente de Malandry. Comme elle, Aurore, qui vit à quelques pâtés de maisons, n'avait jamais entendu parler des PFAS avant que l'affaire éclate. Cette mère de quatre enfants confie son inquiétude quant aux répercussions sanitaires de cette pollution, notamment pour son mari atteint d'une maladie génétique : « Du fait de cette maladie, il peut plus facilement attraper des tumeurs aux reins et à la mâchoire. Il a toujours bu l'eau du robinet. Est-ce que ça va aggraver sa maladie génétique ? On ne sait pas. » « Comment ces toutes petites communes rurales peuvent-elles être impactées comme des sites industriels ? », se lamente Annick Dufils. Dans sa commune, la maire de Malandry a enregistré une contamination trois plus élevée que la limite fixée par les autorités sanitaires. Pourtant, aucune usine n'est visible à l'horizon depuis les hauts plateaux du village. Au contraire, celui-ci est entouré de bois et de champs de maïs. L'origine de la pollution n'a pas encore été déterminée avec certitude. Mais les soupçons des élus locaux, comme des préfectures, portent sur l'ancienne papeterie Stenpa, située à Stenay, à 15 kilomètres de Malandry, dans le département de la Meuse. Celle-ci a fermé fin 2024, laissant une bonne centaine de salariés sur le carreau. Lorsqu'elle était encore en activité, cette usine rejetait des boues industrielles contaminées aux PFAS. Ces mêmes boues ont ensuite été transportées puis épandues sur les parcelles agricoles des alentours, en raison de leurs propriétés fertilisantes. Selon les élus des villages pollués, ces épandages auraient débuté en 1995. Annick Dufils et Richard Philbiche, maire de Villy, commune voisine contaminée, ont retrouvé le plan d'épandage pour la période 2000-2013. Au total, 23 000 tonnes de boues industrielles devaient être déversées sur les terres agricoles à Villy et dans la commune voisine d'Olizy-sur-Chiers, « avec une limite fixée à 30 tonnes par hectares tous les trois ans », précise Richard Philbiche. L'élu nous tend une photographie satellite d'une parcelle agricole située à proximité des captages de Malandry et Villy, prise le 20 juin 2000 : « Les petits points blancs que vous voyez, ce sont les tas de boues. Il y en a pour 1 500 tonnes. Or, la parcelle fait une dizaine d'hectares. Avec une limite fixée à 30 tonnes par hectares, elle ne pouvait en accueillir que 300. Où sont passés les 1 200 tonnes restants ? » Les deux édiles soupçonnent un enfouissement qui aurait contaminé les captages d'eau potable de leurs communes par ruissellement. À lire aussiPFAS : peut-on se débarrasser des polluants éternels ? « On se repose sur les maires pour gérer la situation » Annick Dufils ne décolère pas : « J'ai été sidérée d'apprendre la pollution, d'autant que jusqu'alors, les rapports annuels de l'eau étaient excellents. » L'édile de Malandry a été informée de la pollution dans sa commune le 19 mai 2025 à la suite d'une analyse effectuée par l'Agence régionale de santé de la région Grand-Est. Quelques jours plus tard, à l'occasion d'une réunion sur le sujet organisée par la sous-préfète, l'élue est tombée des nues : « On se rend compte que des PFAS sont détectés dans nos eaux par les autorités sanitaires depuis 2016 ​​​​​​​! » Dans une foire aux questions sur leurs sites internet, les préfectures de la Meuse et des Ardennes répondent que l'Agence régionale de santé du Grand-Est a mené en 2023 et 2024 « ​​​​​​​des campagnes d'analyse exploratoire » des PFAS dans l'eau potable, que des analyses réalisées sur la commune de Villy fin 2024 ont révélé la présence de PFAS dans l'eau distribuée, et que des « ​​​​​​​investigations complémentaires » ont été menées en 2024 et 2025, mais que ce n'est qu'en 2025 que le suivi des 20 PFAS jugés les plus préoccupants a été intégré aux contrôles sanitaires. Une réponse loin de satisfaire Annick Dufils : « ​​​​​​​On nous a caché cette pollution ​​​​​​​! », s'insurge la maire de Malandry, qui assure, à titre personnel, avoir « ​​​​​​​perdu confiance » dans les autorités sanitaires. Une prise de position renforcée par le sentiment d'abandon qui envahit ces élus locaux depuis l'éclatement de l'affaire. « ​​​​​​​Les autorités se reposent sur nous pour gérer le problème, alors que nous n'y sommes pour rien. Mais on est totalement démunis », se lamente Richard Philbiche. Le maire de Villy et sa consœur de Malandry ont l'obligation légale de fournir de l'eau en bouteille aux habitants. La méthode choisie est celle du virement bancaire aux administrés, leur permettant de rembourser l'équivalent de deux litres d'eau par jour et par habitant pour une durée de six mois. Pour une commune comme Malandry, cela représente un coût estimé à 3 500 euros sur un budget de fonctionnement à l'année de 200 000 euros. « ​​​​​​​C'est une dépense pharamineuse qui n'a pas été anticipée dans nos budgets prévisionnels. Il y a des choses que l'on ne fera pas dans la commune, car il faudra financer l'achat de l'eau », prévient Annick Dufils. L'édile a sollicité une aide financière de l'État, sans succès. « La recommandation des autorités, c'est de dire ''augmentez le prix de l'eau''. Mais nos administrés ne vont pas payer plus cher une eau qu'ils ne peuvent plus consommer ! », s'emporte Annick Dufils. D'autres solutions sont possibles, du moins sur le papier : trouver un autre captage d'eau potable ou se raccorder à une commune voisine non contaminée. Mais les travaux seraient onéreux et impossibles à assumer financièrement pour ces petites communes. Le 21 juillet, deux stations de filtrage au charbon actif ont été installées dans les châteaux d'eau de Malandry et Haraucourt, situés à une trentaine de kilomètres, pour un coût de 20 000 euros chacune, à la charge des communes. Objectif : dépolluer les eaux en retenant les PFAS. Les premiers résultats sont encourageants. Mais combien de temps le charbon reste-t-il actif ? Faudra-t-il le remplacer à court terme ? Des interrogations demeurent. Pour l'heure, ces élus ne peuvent compter que sur eux-mêmes. « ​​​​​​​On est solidaires entre maires concernés par cette pollution », confie Richard Philbiche, le maire de Villy. Avec Annick Dufils, ils envisagent de déposer plainte contre X prochainement. À lire aussiUne étude révèle la présence de PFAS dans les produits d'hygiène menstruelle réutilisables

It includes the body image experiences of people of different races, ethnicities, sexualities, gender identities, physical and mental abilities, and body sizes. BodyKind was tested in an 1150-student Randomized Control Trial in Ireland in 2024, and the program has proven to increase to student Body Appreciation, Self-Compassion and Body Appreciation. These aspects are associated with better self-esteem and better mental health.In 2025, Denise--with Ramsey County, MN Public Health--co-developed and launched a weight-neutral nutrition curriculum called Be Real's Let's Eat for middle school and high school students. Let's Eat focuses on Tuned-in Eating, which teaches students to integrate their own body cues, day's nutritional needs, food preferences and eating experiences into their eating patterns. Let's Eat lessons are relevant across cultures, neurodiversity, and economic status.Denise has a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Michigan Law School and was an environmental attorney in her first career. She co-wrote the legal treatise Pollution in the United Kingdom. Denise is an Anti-Bias, Antiracist Certified curriculum writer.

And Anna McKay is in the process of completing her dietetic internship.Just a note that this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only. Thanks for being here.In this episode, we're joined by two of the co-creators of the Be Real Let's Eat curriculum: Denise Hamburger and Selena Salfen.Elizabeth: Denise Hamburger, JD, is the founder and executive director of Be Real USA, a nonprofit that imagines a world where every child can grow up with a healthy relationship to food and their body.In 2025, Denise—with Ramsey County, Minnesota Public Health—co-developed and launched a weight-neutral curriculum called Be Real's Let's Eat for middle school and high school students.Elizabeth: Selena Salfen, MPH, RD (she/her), is a registered dietitian in public health. Much of her work involves transitioning public health and healthcare systems from weight-focused to size-inclusive, weight-neutral models of practice.Denise and Selena are two of the many experts who came together to create the curriculum. It focuses on Tuned-in Eating, which teaches students to integrate their own body cues, nutritional needs, food preferences, and eating experiences into their eating patterns. Lessons are relevant across cultures, neurodiversity, and economic status.Anna: Denise and Selena, we are so happy you're here. Welcome.Multiple speakers: Great to be here. Thank you, thank you.Anna: Let's jump in. To start us off, can you each tell us a bit about yourself and the work you do?Denise: Thank you. I guess I'll start. I'm Denise Hamburger. I'm the founder and executive director of Be Real USA, a nonprofit that focuses on providing the highest quality resources on body image and eating disorder prevention for schools.I've been talking to educators and parents for almost ten years now about how to create body-confident environments in schools and in homes. We have a presentation I've been giving for ten years called Body Confident Schools, which helps the adults in young people's lives develop language and understanding that supports raising kids with body confidence.This language and understanding is very different from what we get in diet culture. In the last five years, Be Real added a new piece to its mission: curriculum development. Teachers had been asking us for better resources on body image and nutrition, and we felt compelled to develop them ourselves.Our high school body image curriculum, BodyKind, was developed by a team of academics and tested in schools. We've tested it three times, and we've had four published papers on its feasibility, accessibility, and effectiveness.We're starting that same kind of testing now with our new curriculum, Let's Eat. We also have 150 ambassadors across the country who present our workshops and share our curriculum.Anna: Wow. We certainly need new curricula, so we're so glad you're doing this work and that you're in this space.Elizabeth: I want to hear more about the ambassadors, but we'll leave that for later.Selena: I'm Selena Salfen. I'm a registered dietitian, but I work in public health, so I don't see clients one-on-one. I focus more on macro-level policy, systems, and environmental change.I work on a chronic disease prevention grant, where we support schools in areas like food access, nutrition, and mental health. That's how I ended up working on Let's Eat.I'm also very committed to bringing size-inclusive, weight-neutral work into public health and undoing some of the harm done since the 1990s, when public health began to hyper-focus on weight, weight control, and BMI.I've done a lot of work with WIC, integrating weight-inclusive practices, and expanded that work into other community-based health programs.I'm also a parent to a child with sensory needs around food, which shapes my perspective. And I'm a Be Real ambassador—that's how Denise and I met.Anna: That's wonderful. I really appreciate the work you're doing. I imagine it sometimes feels like swimming upstream in public health.Selena: You know what? It's been better than I expected—and actually really exciting.Elizabeth: That's great to hear.Anna: We're recording this episode just as school is starting across the country, and we're excited to talk about this new curriculum. Denise, can you tell us more about Let's Eat and what inspired you to create it?Denise: Sure. I mentioned earlier that I've been speaking with teachers for the last ten years. They'd often ask me what curriculum they should be using—specifically one that doesn't harm students' body image.We know from research that what's typically being taught reflects diet culture and can be harmful. For example, a few studies have asked eating disorder patients what triggered their eating disorder, and 14% in both studies mentioned their “healthy eating curriculum” in school.So at Be Real, we decided to develop a curriculum that focuses on body cues and interoceptive awareness—helping students learn to eat based on what their bodies are telling them.Selena was reviewing our BodyKind curriculum when we started talking, and she mentioned she was looking for a weight-neutral curriculum for Minneapolis. A lightbulb went off, and we decided to create one together.It's been an amazing collaboration. I come from one angle, Selena comes from another, and we always land in the same place. I focus on making sure lessons are engaging and accessible, while Selena makes sure they reflect the needs of neurodiverse kids, immigrant kids, and food-insecure kids.The result is a free, two-day curriculum for both middle and high school students. It aligns with the HECAT standards, comes in a 42-page toolkit with lesson plans, slides, and worksheets, and includes required professional development for teachers so they can shift away from diet culture before teaching it.We were able to create this thanks to funders like the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, Ramsey County Public Health, and the Minnesota Department of Health.Anna: Wow. That's fabulous. We're so excited that Let's Eat exists. And I love that it's a two-day lesson plan—not something overwhelming. Teachers often worry about how curricula fit with state standards, but as you said, this aligns well.Elizabeth: Selena, what concerns do you have about how nutrition is typically taught to children?Selena: First, I want to acknowledge that educators who teach “good and bad” foods mean well. They've been enlisted in what's been called the “war on obesity” since the 2000s.Good people want children to avoid chronic disease, but they've been told the way to do this is through weight control, calorie tracking, and restrictive eating. We now know this approach is harmful, not evidence-based, and doesn't actually make kids physically or mentally healthier—or smaller.Many existing nutrition education tools encourage weight or body fat measurements, food logs, calorie counting, or labeling foods as good/bad. This can trigger disordered eating, poor body image, and food obsession.With Let's Eat, we focus instead on helping students learn about food in a way that builds trust in their bodies and avoids shame, guilt, or fear.Elizabeth: Denise, how does Let's Eat differ from other nutrition curricula?Denise: Great question. First, we don't use body size as a proxy for health. Instead, we empower students to be the experts on their own eating.We avoid shame-based language, rules, or fear around food. Instead, we use guidelines that leave room for nuance. We also encourage reflection on past eating experiences—like noticing how your body felt after eating—and using that information for the future.Another big difference is the diversity of input. Thanks to Selena, we had 42 experts review the curriculum, including dietitians, doctors, teachers, researchers, body image experts, and students.We're proud of how inclusive it is, and how it focuses on empowerment, curiosity, and calmness around food.Anna: I really enjoyed lending a little part to the project. What I love most is how you've taken weight out of it. Weight is woven through so much of nutrition curricula, but kids are supposed to be gaining weight. Their bodies are supposed to be changing. Let's Eat acknowledges this and empowers students to tune in and trust that they are the experts of their own bodies.Denise: Exactly. What we teach is Tuned-in Eating. It's about helping students feel capable and confident when it comes to food. We encourage them to be curious about past eating experiences—what worked and what didn't—and use that to guide future choices.Instead of rules, we provide guidelines. Rules can encourage black-and-white thinking, but guidelines leave room for flexibility.Selena: One big difference is how we approach foods that students are often taught to fear. For example, ultra-processed foods or sugar. Educators often feel pressure to talk about these, but fear-based teaching isn't helpful.Instead, we explain concepts like whole vs. refined grains in a way that avoids shame. If you prefer white rice, you can pair it with protein, fat, and fiber to balance the meal. We also celebrate cultural foods like rice and tortillas, which are often unfairly stigmatized.We're also committed to making Let's Eat neurodivergent-friendly and trauma-informed. Not every student can rely on hunger cues, and that's okay. Instead of insisting on “no distractions at meals,” we encourage students to experiment with what works for them—whether that includes a tablet or not.We also acknowledge food access and insecurity. Not all students have choices, so we avoid presenting nutrition in a way that assumes unlimited access.I'm also proud that we brought in such diverse perspectives. Reviewers included Dr. Whitney Trotter and Angela Goens, co-founders of the BIPOC Eating Disorder Conference, as well as Anna (you!) and many others.Anna: It really shows. The diversity of expertise and voices makes Let's Eat so much stronger.Creating a curriculum like this must have been a challenge. It's so much easier to be black and white—this is good, this is bad. But you've created something inclusive and nuanced.Denise: Yes, that was one of the challenges. We had to decide how much detail was actually helpful. Thanks to Selena, we avoided going too far down rabbit holes and instead kept lessons high-level and practical.We focus on the basics—carbohydrates, fats, protein—with a nod to vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Just enough to help students fuel their day without overwhelming them.Selena: And credit goes to Allie Latvala, who did a beautiful job writing for the age range. It's a big responsibility to protect young people, and while no curriculum will be perfect, we've done our best to make it safe and inclusive.Selena: Yes, and we'll continue to make adjustments as we receive feedback. We listened to students and teachers during evaluation, and we'll keep listening if improvements are needed.Anna: That's so important. What did students and teachers say during the pilot?Denise: We tested it with 250 students. Their feedback was invaluable—everything from whether the images felt too young or too old, to what activities were engaging.One teacher, Sarah, had her students list reasons we eat, beyond hunger. They filled the board with 100 reasons—celebrations, traditions, comfort, fun. We added that activity to the curriculum, because it gets students thinking about eating as a multi-dimensional experience, not just fuel.Anna: I love that. So many nutrition classes reduce eating to just nutrients or body size. Asking students to reflect on the many reasons we eat helps them appreciate the full picture.Elizabeth: Denise, for parents and educators who want to bring Let's Eat into schools, how can they access it?Denise: There are two main ways. First, it's free. At conferences, we hand out postcards with QR codes. Scanning the code takes you to our professional development training. After completing the training and a short test, teachers gain access to the full toolkit, slides, and worksheets.Second, educators can become Be Real Ambassadors. Ambassadors get access to our presentations and resources, and they bring them into their communities. Right now, we have about 150 ambassadors around the world—teachers, dietitians, public health educators, and more.We provide them with templates, letters, agendas, slides, and other materials so they can succeed in sharing this work locally.Anna: That's incredible. You're not only creating a curriculum—you're creating a movement.Anna: What challenges did you face in creating a curriculum that's both helpful and impactful without causing harm?Selena: It was definitely tricky. We could have created a “masterpiece” that said exactly what we wanted, but it might not have been usable in schools. Teachers often have to align with CDC HECAT standards.We worked hard to meet most of the knowledge expectations, but we were intentional about skipping some. For example, one standard asks students to “analyze healthy and risky approaches to weight management.” We didn't include that, because it would reinforce harmful weight-focused thinking.Another standard says to “avoid sugary drinks.” Instead, we reframed it around hydration—water, milk, and other options—while acknowledging that sugary drinks exist without making them forbidden.Denise: Teachers don't expect every curriculum to meet every single standard, but we wanted to cover most. And it was important that Let's Eat still teach the core of nutrition—like macronutrients and hydration—just in a less fear-based way.Selena: Exactly. We frame carbohydrates as “short energy” and protein and fat as “long energy.” It helps students contextualize food in ways that feel supportive, not restrictive.Anna: That's such a refreshing approach. All right, let's move into our last question. We love to ask our guests: what's one of your favorite foods right now? It doesn't have to be forever, just what you're enjoying at the moment and why.Denise: I just made a summer fruit buttermilk cake with Michigan cherries, blackberries, peaches, and blueberries. We had four cups of fruit in it. My kids were visiting, and we finished the whole cake in under an hour. It was so good I've been waking up thinking about when I can make it again.Anna: That sounds amazing. And you may not know this, but Elizabeth used to be a professional baker.Denise: Oh, then I'll have to send you the recipe!Elizabeth: Please do. Selena, what about you?Selena: I had to think about this. I love all foods, so nothing stood out at first. But then I realized I've been cooking a lot from the cookbook Curry Every Day by Atul Kochhar. It's full of curries from around the world. I know it's summer, but I still love making them.Elizabeth: That sounds wonderful. I'm going to have to check that out.Anna: Thank you both so much for joining us and for sharing your work. Let's Eat is such an important resource, and we'll link everything in the show notes so parents and teachers can access the training and curriculum.Denise: Thank you—it was a pleasure.Selena: Thank you so much.Anna: And thank you to our listeners.

After three years of negotiating, talks over a global plastics treaty came to an end in Geneva last week with no agreement in place. So why has it been so difficult to get countries to agree to cut plastic production? Madeleine Finlay hears from Karen McVeigh, a senior reporter for Guardian Seascapes, about a particularly damaging form of plastic pollution causing devastation off the coast of Kerala, and where we go now that countries have failed to reach a deal.

Le Vietnam et ses plus de 7% de croissance fait figure de locomotive de l'Asie du Sud-Est. Le pays à l'économie la plus dynamique de l'Asean est en pleine mutation économique avec d'immenses projets d'infrastructures, notamment de transports. Cette croissance rapide s'accompagne de transformation des villes, notamment Hanoï où se construisent des résidences pour les plus aisés. Des complexes, fermés et sécurisés, déjà répandus en Chine ou en Corée du Sud qui se développent rapidement dans la capitale vietnamienne. Si c'est un symbole des inégalités sociales, ces lieux pour ultra-riches racontent aussi les inégalités environnementales. Visite de Ciputra, l'une des premières résidences du genre à Hanoï. De notre envoyé spécial de retour d'Hanoï, Loin du trafic incessant et des klaxons permanents et centre-ville d'Hanoï, les quelques milliers d'habitants de la résidence de Ciputra vivent dans un petit havre de paix où des gardes contrôlent l'entrée de la résidence. Ici, on trouve tout, au presque. « On a un golf, des cafés, des grandes piscines, des salles de sports. J'adore à quel point il y a énormément de nature dans ce quartier, des arbres, des parcs. Dans le centre d'Hanoï, il y a des motos, des voitures et évidemment cela affecte la qualité de l'air. » Hanoï, nommée temporairement ville la plus polluée de la Terre cet hiver, a pour habitude d'être enveloppée plusieurs fois par an dans un large nuage de particules fines. Les plus fortunés espèrent échapper à cette pollution qui tue chaque année 60 000 personnes au Vietnam. Phan Huy Hùng, habite ici depuis cinq ans : « De façon générale, j'adore l'ambiance de ce quartier, il y a beaucoup de résidents étrangers, et puis on n'est pas les uns sur les autres. Les bâtiments sont séparés, il y a beaucoup de verdures, au printemps les plantes fleurissent. » Ce modèle de résidence ne cesse de se répliquer à l'image des chantiers qui entourent Ciputra. Avec la hausse des revenus, le nombre de Vietnamiens souhaitant accéder à ce luxe augmente et avec la pollution générée par des chantiers où le béton est roi. Inégalités sociales grandissantes  À quelques centaines de mètres dedans un restaurant de rue, les chevilles ouvrières de ce rêve vietnamien partagent une bière et des cacahuètes, ils s'adonnent au passe-temps national : le karaoké. « J'adore mon travail d'ouvrier du bâtiment. Ça crée un revenu stable pour nous tous, nos familles ! Nous gagnons environ 450 000 à 500 000 dôngs par jour. Le logement et les repas sont pris en charge. » Un revenu deux fois supérieur au salaire minimum, ce qui a attiré cet ouvrier de la ville vers la campagne : « Je me sens extrêmement fier, car des bâtiments comme celui qu'on construit donnent une bonne image du Vietnam. » Comme le restaurateur qui leur amène des soupes et des cigarettes sur une table en plastique, ces ouvriers le savent que leur présence dans le quartier est temporaire : « Dans quelques années les chantiers seront terminés et les investisseurs et les habitants haut de gamme seront installés ici alors, il faudra s'adapter à cette clientèle haut de gamme pour répondre à leurs attentes. » Une adaptation impossible pour ce restaurateur populaire. Même la forte croissance a réduit les inégalités. Le grand écart social est visible à Hanoï, à quelques centaines de mètres de distance.

A Vital City report shows that hiring more police officers doesn't necessarily mean less crime. Meanwhile, two people are facing charges for allegedly stealing the home of an elderly woman in hospice care. Also, a stretch of streets from the Brooklyn Bridge to Dyckman Street will be closed to cars Saturday for the city's Summer Streets program. Plus, New Jersey secures a more than $2 billion settlement with DuPont and related companies to clean up “forever chemicals” at four contaminated sites. Columbia University's Dr. Julie Herbstman joins us to discuss the health impact of these chemicals.

C dans l'air l'invité du 6 août avec Xavier Coumoul, professeur de toxicologie et de biochimie à l'Université Paris Cité.À Genève, 180 pays entament dix jours de négociations sous l'égide de l'ONU pour tenter d'adopter le premier traité mondial visant à freiner la pollution plastique. Ce sommet intervient alors que la production mondiale de plastique bat des records : 400 millions de tonnes de déchets sont générées chaque année, dont près de 4 millions en France. Selon l'OCDE, ce volume pourrait tripler d'ici 2055, dans un contexte tendu où s'opposent défenseurs du recyclage, promoteurs d'une réduction à la source et lobbys industriels puissants.La pollution plastique dépasse désormais les sols et les océans : l'air est lui aussi contaminé. Comment les microplastiques pénètrent-ils dans notre organisme ? L'alimentation reste la principale voie d'exposition, mais l'inhalation gagne en importance, notamment en raison de la dégradation spontanée des matériaux dans nos environnements intérieurs. Dans un rapport récent publié par la revue médicale “The Lancet”, une trentaine de chercheurs et médecins établissent un lien direct entre plastique, maladies et mortalité. Ces particules de plastique sont associées à des inflammations et à des pathologies respiratoires, cardiovasculaires ou neurodégénératives.La production mondiale de déchets plastiques ne ralentit pas. 80 % des déchets marins proviennent de l'intérieur des terres, à l'image du “vortex plastique du Pacifique”, une immense zone d'ordures flottantes qui s'étend entre le Japon et les États-Unis sur une surface d'environ trois fois la France (1,6 million de km²). Chaque minute, l'équivalent d'un camion-poubelle est déversé dans les océans.Comment réduire la production mondiale de plastique ? Quels sont les pays les plus mauvais élèves ? Comment changer durablement nos modes de consommation ? Que peut-on réellement attendre des négociations en cours à Genève ?Xavier Coumoul, professeur de toxicologie et de biochimie à l'Université Paris Cité, décryptera les enjeux cruciaux des négociations en cours à Genève contre la pollution plastique et leurs impacts directs sur notre santé.

184 pays négocient actuellement à Genève pour aboutir au premier traité mondial contre la pollution plastique. Quelle est la situation chez vous ? Racontez-nous vos réalités face au plastique. Comment gérez-vous ces déchets au quotidien ? Êtes-vous prêts à changer vos habitudes ?

Pulitzer prize-winning author Caroline Fraser on the link between air pollution in the US and male violence. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

The South Bay in San Diego County is the site of one of the nation's worst environmental disasters. Fifty million gallons of untreated sewage and industrial chemicals flow daily into the Tijuana River and out of Imperial Beach.

For decades, residents of the small city of Newburgh, New York, were unknowingly drinking water contaminated with toxic PFAS—also known as forever chemicals. The source turned out to be firefighting foam used on a nearby air base that had seeped into streams and creeks, and ultimately the city's main drinking water reservoir.Now, Newburgh is one of 10 sites that are part of a CDC-led study investigating the health effects of PFAS exposure. Early data out of Newburgh links PFAS with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Host Flora Lichtman discusses the research with environmental epidemiologist Erin Bell and reporter Shantal Riley.Read our full story about what PFAS contamination has meant for Newburgh in English and in Spanish.Guests: Shantal Riley is an award-winning journalist and science writer, focused on environmental health.Dr. Erin Bell is an environmental epidemiologist at the University at Albany in New York.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
