What comes to mind when you hear mining? Pollution? Destruction? Now add the word sustainable — does it feel contradictory?In this episode, I speak with Donna Kitsos, a Singapore-based expert in global markets, energy, and innovation, about what sustainable mining actually means. With a background in coal trading and a career now focused on climate tech and circular solutions, Donna shares how mining is evolving — and why it's more important than ever to understand that shift.

A popular outdoor brand somehow thought it was a good idea to set off an elaborate, polluting firework display and we are not impressed. We learn why doofuses are strapping iPads to tortoise backs. Sarah explains what "distance self-talk" is and why it can be helpful or hurtful depending on how you use it. We talk about a "very haunted" hotel that has very strict rules about pranks, and since Susie hates pranks, she's on board. We debate the "correct" way to cut food and we learn why Susie is stressed about doing it wrong. Susie explains her rubric for what makes a one-hit-wonder, and hear why a lot of people are very sensitive when they learn an artist they happen to like only had one hit (we're looking at you Oasis fans). Plus, there's a college football program that is known for taking ridiculous player photos, and their new coach put a stop to it. Susie and Sarah disagree about whether the coach did the right thing...Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!

Washington's MAGA government is shoveling massive giveaways of public money to corporate elites. Worse, though, are its takeaways of people's power to battle the abuse of those same plutocratic corporations. Consider just three recent examples:Travel. Perhaps your family plans a holiday flight to visit grandma. Flying itself has become dicey, but at least the government is requiring airlines that cause long delays or cancellations to compensate us passengers for our loss. Uh… no, no more. Trump's transportation secretary (who was previously a LOBBYIST for the big airlines!) is “loosening” the rules so monopolistic airlines owe nothing to abused customers.Job opportunities. One of the nastiest wage suppression tactics of corporate bosses has been their collusion to make employees sign “noncompete” contracts. These amount to indentured servitude, preventing workers from quitting to take a better job with a competing firm. This corporate lockdown costs American workers some $40 billion a year in wages they could get in an open job market. The FTC was finally moving to ban these noncompete gimmicks – but Trump installed a corporate lackey at the FTC to snuff out this spark of workplace liberty.Pollution. Corporate lobbyists and MAGA lawmakers are rigging the rules to let industrial giants escape responsibility for their massive environmental contamination. For example, the profiteering greedheads who've deceptively caused tons of deadly “forever chemicals” to be spread on our land, water, communities, and families are to be let off the hook by the new, corporate-hugging EPA honcho. He says we taxpayers must pay for the toxic cleanup, not the polluters.If you're unclear about the meaning of “plutocracy,' there it is: Government by and for the despotic rich.Fighting plutocracy on multiple fronts is challenging work, and that's why we recommend getting involved with Public Citizen—they're strategic and have a long track record of protecting Americans on many issues.

Punjab floods have a Delhi pollution link. How?

How Can Coral IVF Fight Coral Bleaching?As ocean temperatures increase due to climate change, an emergent crisis known as coral bleaching is on the rise. Coral bleaching poses the largest threat to coral reefs, which are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. Coral reef habitats occupy less than one percent of the ocean floor, but constitute more than 25% of all marine life, providing habitats for a vast array of species from small organisms to large fish and sharks. Additionally, biodiverse reefs provide a variety of economic benefits, supporting jobs, tourism, and fisheries. Reefs also protect lives and property in coastal areas, absorbing 97% of a wave's energy while buffering against currents, waves, and storms.However, when ocean temperatures rise, corals become stressed and expel the marine algae living inside their tissues, known as zooxanthellae. Typically, coral live synergistically with zooxanthellae, meaning the algae provide food for the coral while the algae use the coral as shelter. Due to stress, corals expel zooxanthellae, causing them to become a white skeleton. If the temperatures remain high, the coral won't allow the algae back and the coral will die. Once corals die, reefs rarely come back. As climate change progresses with its warming trend, corals endure greater stress, and experience longer and more intense bleaching events. Between 2014 and 2017, 30% of the world's reefs experienced heat-stress leading to coral bleaching. In 2005, the US lost half of its coral reefs in the Caribbean in one year due to a massive bleaching event. Fortunately, marine biologists have been working on a new strategy to restore damaged coral reefs, known as Coral IVF (in vitro fertilization), which entails taking healthy coral eggs and sperm, crossing them in a supervised pool, and returning the mature coral to a damaged coral reef. Importantly, IVF coral are often bred to be resilient to heat-induced bleaching, making Coral IVF a successful strategy in fortifying reefs against bleaching.What exactly is Coral IVF?Coral IVF begins with biologists collecting spawn, or coral eggs and sperm, from heat-tolerant corals that have survived coral bleaching events. With these spawn, biologists can rear millions of baby corals in tanks and coral nursery pools before repopulating damaged reefs for restoration. So far, coral IVF has proven successful. The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) Foundation planted 22 large colonies of new baby corals off Heron Island in 2016. Four years later, the researchers found that the corals had survived a bleaching event and grown to maturity. The next year, the corals had reproduced and spawned babies of their own. In 2016, 81% of the northernmost section of the GBR was severely bleached, including mass bleaching in other sections. The GBR provides an estimated economic value of $56 billion, including 64,000 jobs stemming from the reef. Losing the reef would be a major economic loss for Australia, which has already lost 50% of its coral since 1995. With coral IVF, there is hope for an eventual repopulation of the reef with healthy corals. Beyond the GBR, coral IVF is taking place in reefs across the US, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Approximately 90% of IVF-created corals survived 2023's heat wave, holding on to the algae that sustain them.The Advantages of Coral BreedingCoral IVF not only mitigates short term reef loss, but also strengthens reefs in the long term. One study revealed that corals in the GBR that survived bleaching in 2016 had twice the average heat tolerance the following year. Research reveals that corals can pass on their adaptive strategies to their offspring. Experiments also reveal that heat-adapted corals can thrive in new environments and be an important source of reef regeneration globally. This technique can therefore be applied to any coral population. Further, the IVF process also can be done quickly, allowing scientists to respond to coral damage in an emergency.Climate change poses an insurmountable riskUnfortunately, climate change still poses a threat to IVF created coral reefs. By 2049, annual bleaching events will become the norm in the tropics. Research reveals that as global temperatures rise, coral will become less tolerant to heat related stress. In Australia, there has been a massive bleaching event every other year for six years. Due to the frequency of such events, coral's ability to reproduce is compromised for a number of years. As global emissions continue to rise, temperatures will continue to rise, inducing further heat-related stress. Eventually, coral may not be able to live in excessively hot ocean waters. Coral IVF is an effective strategy to prepare corals for future temperatures, but likely only up to a certain point.About our guestDr. Saskia Jurriaans is a marine scientist working on the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program, a multi-organizational partnership between the Australian Institute Of Marine Science, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, and others. On her team, she optimizes coral breeding techniques, as well as developing asexual coral reproduction methods to support the Great Barrier Reef.ResourcesAustralian Marine Conservation Society, What is Coral Bleaching?Coral Guardian, Why are coral reefs so important?Coral Reef Alliance, Biodiversity of Coral ReefsGreat Barrier Reef Foundation, What is Coral IVF?NOAA, Get Involved with the NOAA Coral Reef WatchFurther ReadingNOAA, Why are coral reefs important?Time, The Great Barrier Reef Is Being Depleted by Pollution and Climate Change.

This episode originally aired on August 10, 2020: This week on Terra Informa, Sonak Patel and Skylar Lipman, joined by Morrigan Simpson-Marran from the Pembina Institute and Daniel Schiffner from the University of Alberta, discuss orphan wells in Alberta.The evidence of oil and gas development on Alberta's landscape appears in various forms across the province. Much of oil and gas extraction requires drilling a well into the ground to reach subterranean fossil fuels. Under provincial regulations, these wells are supposed to be reclaimed once they reach the end of their productive lifespan. But in some cases, reclamation doesn't happen, leaving a substantial number of wells dotted across the Albertan landscape.How many orphaned wells are there in Alberta? How does a well become 'orphaned', and why are they a problem? We find out the answers to these questions in this week's episode.Download program log here. ★ Support this podcast ★

According to the government, air pollution is the “largest environmental risk to public health”, and accounts for between 28,000 and 36,000 deaths each year. But did you know that the air you breathe might be impacting not only your physical health but also your mental well-being? It's the largest environmental risk to public health because harmful pollutants like fine particulate matter, ammonia and nitrogen dioxide get into our bodies, affecting the eyes, nose and throat, heart and blood vessels and the respiratory system. But there are also risks regarding our mental health. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in February 2023 reported on the link between air pollution and psychological disorders. What did the study find?

Ces mammifères sont en danger d'extinction dans les sept pays que compose la vaste région amazonienne. La situation particulièrement préoccupante en Équateur, malgré des initiatives régionales et locales mises en place pour sauver les dauphins. Reportage de notre correspondant Eric Samson. Dans la communauté indigène de Martinica, en Amazonie équatorienne, les dauphins roses sont au cœur d'un projet d'écotourisme appelé Yaku Warmi. Les habitants attirent les dauphins en frappant l'eau pour permettre aux visiteurs d'observer ces animaux rares, dont seulement 22 spécimens vivent dans cette zone, soit près de 10% de la population nationale. Les biologistes alertent sur la fragilité extrême de l'espèce : il ne resterait que 200 à 250 dauphins roses dans tout le pays, auxquels s'ajoutent une vingtaine de dauphins gris encore plus rares. Le chercheur Víctor Utreras dénonce la multiplication des menaces, qui vont des rejets d'eaux usées aux marées noires liées au pétrole, en passant par la pollution minière et le mercure qui s'accumule dans les tissus des dauphins. Il met aussi en garde contre les croyances traditionnelles qui encouragent leur chasse, comme l'usage de leurs dents ou de leur graisse.   États-Unis : après l'assassinat de Charlie Kirk, la presse condamne un climat de violence politique Charlie Kirk lui-même avait mis en garde contre la montée d'une « culture de l'assassinat », rappelle le Washington Post. Il citait la tentative de meurtre contre le président Donald Trump ainsi que l'assassinat du dirigeant d'une compagnie d'assurance santé. Et il semble désormais plus que probable qu'il soit lui-même devenu victime de cette frénésie violente. Des témoins décrivent une sécurité insuffisante lors de l'événement dans l'Utah. Mais, poursuit le Washington Post, pourquoi aurait-il fallu prévoir une protection renforcée ? Kirk avait parfaitement le droit de s'attendre à pouvoir s'exprimer sans craindre pour sa vie. Sa voix s'est tue, mais ses millions de partisans feront en sorte que son message ne le soit jamais. Le New York Times s'inquiète d'un climat de violence qui se généralise et qui menace le Premier amendement, celui qui garantit la liberté d'expression. « Notre pays repose sur le principe selon lequel nous devons accepter de ne pas être d'accord, mais de manière pacifique. Trop d'Américains s'éloignent de cet idéal », écrit le journal. 34% des étudiants interrogés récemment ont même déclaré soutenir l'usage de la violence, dans certaines circonstances, pour empêcher un discours sur un campus, selon un sondage publié hier (10 septembre 2025). Cette violence se poursuit aussi sur le plan verbal, à en juger par certains propos tenus par des Trumpistes. Le site Mother Jones constate que de nombreuses personnalités de la droite américaine ont immédiatement accusé « la gauche » d'être responsable, sans qu'aucune preuve n'ait été avancée sur l'identité ou les motivations du tireur. Ainsi, des figures comme Elon Musk, Laura Loomer ou Nancy Mace ont affirmé que les démocrates ou les organisations progressistes constituaient une menace pour la sécurité nationale. D'autres personnalités médiatiques de droite ont même évoqué une « guerre civile » en cours, souligne Mother Jones. Des figures du christianisme nationaliste, comme Joel Webbon et William Wolfe, sont même allées jusqu'à déclarer qu'il fallait écraser complètement la gauche et détruire le Parti démocrate.  À écouter aussiAssassinat de Charlie Kirk aux États-Unis: Trump va s'en servir «pour démontrer que l'Amérique est assiégée» Kamala Harris règle ses comptes avec l'ancien président Joe Biden Dans un livre qui sera publié le 23 septembre 2025, l'ancienne vice-présidente et candidate à la présidence revient sur sa courte campagne électorale de l'année dernière. 107 jours, c'est d'ailleurs le titre de son ouvrage. Le magazine The Atlantic publie quelques extraits dans lesquels elle estime, entre autres, que le fait d'avoir laissé le président vieillissant se représenter en 2024 relevait, je cite, de « l'inconscience ». Kamala Harris revient aussi sur les tensions internes à la Maison Blanche face à sa montée en popularité. Elle décrit, avec « une franchise inhabituelle », selon le Washington Post, comment l'équipe du président l'a marginalisée et rarement défendue lorsqu'elle était attaquée. Elle explique qu'ils voulaient à tout prix éviter qu'elle fasse de l'ombre à Joe Biden.  À écouter aussiPrésidentielle américaine: au Congrès, Kamala Harris acte sa propre défaite face à Donald Trump Haïti : saisie d'équipements anti-drones au port de Port-au-Prince Avec le rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste Frantz Duval, nous revenons sur la saisie de deux appareils de brouillage de fréquences utilisés contre les systèmes de drones, ainsi qu'une antenne. C'est inquiétant, commente Frantz Duval, car cela signifie que les gangs sont en train de s'équiper pour se défendre contre les drones qui commencent à être utilisés par la police haïtienne. Le rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste évoque aussi la création d'un nouveau centre de gestion de déchets solides à Cap Haïtien, un projet financé par la Banque interaméricaine du développement censé réduire l'insalubrité qui touche la deuxième ville du pays.   À écouter aussiEn Haïti, les gangs appellent les habitants de Port-au-Prince à rentrer chez eux Journal de la 1ère Le manque de pompiers à Pointe-Noire inquiète les habitants en Guadeloupe.

Austin claims to be an environmentally-friendly city — and based on our local tree canopy, that's mostly warranted. But zooming in, it's clear that trees are more dense on the west side than in East Austin. Tree-huggers are paying attention, though, and regularly work to make things better — including by holding the annual Tree of the Year awards (nominations are still open, by the way). Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by TreeFolks' Executive Director Andrew W. Smiley to talk about Austin's latest Tree Canopy Report, how our canopy compares to those in other cities across the country, and why it matters.  Learn more about the sponsors of this September 10th episode: Downtown Austin Alliance Wise Huel - Use code AUSTIN for 15% off for new customers Want some more Austin news?

Au Ghana, les décharges de vêtements provenant de l'Europe polluent l'environnement. Plus de 120 000 tonnes sont exportées chaque année. Le pays est le deuxième marché d'export de vêtements usagés après l'Asie. De plus en plus de ces habits ne peuvent être vendus. Ils finissent jetés, souvent dans la nature ghanéenne ou dans des décharges informelles, faute d'infrastructures suffisantes pour traiter un afflux de déchets croissant. Reportage de Victor Cariou, depuis ces communautés affectées par des cimetières de la fast fashion, jusqu'au marché de Kantamanto où arrivent ces vêtements.

Even though polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were banned nearly 50 years ago, these persistent chemicals are still part of our daily environment. In this episode of Plugged into Public Health, we talk with Dr. Amanda Bullert, neuroscientist and research consultant at the University of Minnesota, about what PCBs are, how exposure still happens today, and what her team's research reveals about their effects on the brain. Amanda breaks down how PCBs influence metabolism, inflammation, and long-term brain health, why certain communities are more at risk, and what steps individuals and public health leaders can take to reduce harm. It's a conversation that sheds light on the hidden legacy of environmental pollutants and the lessons they offer for today's public health challenges.
