Quote by D2E, the short version:
"Jul 18, 2025
A new global study shows that banning problematic plastic products could result in economic savings ranging from $4.7 to $8 trillion between 2025 and 2040, with certain limitations and restrictions. The research, conducted by Earth Action focuses on plastics that are most likely to end up polluting the environment like expanded polystyrene packaging, PVC, single-use straws and cotton buds.
The study finds that an immediate global ban would be more effective and more economical in the long term than slowly phasing them out. WWF defines problematic plastics as “those with a high likelihood of ending up in the environment and potentially harmful impacts on the environment and human health.” There are short-term transition costs, but the long-term savings far outweigh them. These would come from lower waste management costs, fewer greenhouse gas emissions, mismanaged waste and other associated social and environmental impacts.
Currently, the world produces about 430 million tonnes of plastic every year. Of this, 280 million tonnes becomes waste, and 22 percent is mismanaged, meaning it ends up in the environment instead of being properly disposed of.
If countries take action, global plastic use could drop by up to 224 million tonnes, and mismanaged waste could fall by as much as 74 million tonnes by 2040. The faster the action, the greater the benefits.
Hanna Dijkstra, environmental consultant at Earth Action, explains how the estimates were built. “We modelled different policy scenarios to forecast how much plastic would be produced and consumed under each,” she says. “Then we built cost models to reflect the financial impact of each scenario - including public, private, and social costs.”
Under the business-as-usual scenario (where the plastic production continues along current trends), the global cost of plastic production and use would be around $10 trillion by 2040. But an immediate ban would bring that down to $2 trillion, saving $8 trillion overall.
A slower phase-out would save $7 trillion, while staggered action by richer and poorer countries would save $4.7 trillion - the least effective of the three.
An immediate ban would come with the highest administrative cost at $323 million, but it would also reduce waste management expenses by $50 billion, making it well worth the effort.
Businesses may face transition costs of around $143 million, and a drop in plastic market value of $228 billion. But the study notes that these figures don’t account for the new opportunities in reusable products, circular systems, and sustainable alternatives.
In fact, the private sector stands to gain more than it loses, as new markets emerge. Banning problematic plastics is not just good for the planet - it makes strong economic sense too."

"Jul 28, 2025
We just completed the first drone tests to help us locate plastic hotspots in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
The GPGP resembles a "plastic soup," with areas of higher plastic concentration (hotspots).
By steering our ocean system toward the most polluted areas of the patch in real time, we can accelerate and cost-effectively complete the cleanup.
Here's our vision for the operations (CGI) vs drone tests in reality."

Quote by msnbc
"Aug 4, 2025
The Trump administration has proposed revoking a scientific finding that has long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said repealing the finding “will be the largest deregulatory action in the history of America."
"Science Guy" Bill Nye joined Jen Psaki on The Briefing to explain why the EPA overturning this rule is a big deal.
"Carbon dioxide is a gas that is both good and bad. And Mr. Zeldin and his colleagues have embraced the idea that it's only good," Nye said. "He's wrong. They're wrong. What they're talking about is inappropriate."

You're not alone, Texas. The whole globe is screwed because of your gas gizzling polluters.
Of course you need to protect yourself from these events, but prevention is MUCH MOR IMPORTANT. Or do you think this is the worst it can get ????
This is costing you way much more money, more money than you can afford.

"Tragedy in Russia Shocks World | Deadly Tornadoes and Flash Floods Sweep Tuapse, Krasnodar" [8:01 min]

"Aug 3, 2025
Russia's southern region has been hit by natural disasters in recent hours.
In the village of Defanovka, located in the Tuapse municipal district, Krasnodar Territory, a passenger bus fell off a bridge and into a river.
According to preliminary information, the area was flooded at the time of the incident.
This may have affected road conditions and was a contributing factor to the accident.
In the village of Lermontovo, Krasnodar Territory, a bridge over the Shapsukho River collapsed due to heavy rain.
The incident isolated approximately 300 residential buildings and cut off transportation.
As stated by the Head of the Tuapse District, Sergey Boyko, the river's water level is currently stable but has not yet fully receded.
Heavy rain lashed the region following the tornado.
Early this morning, the Defan River overflowed its banks in the Tuapse Municipal District, Krasnodar Territory, due to heavy rain.
This occurred after a tornado passed over the Agoy coast of Krasnodar, bringing heavy rain and thunderstorms.
As a result, houses in the villages of Moldavanka, Defanovka, and Novomikhaylovsky were flooded.
Rescue teams were deployed to address the disaster.
"57 people and 15 pieces of equipment were deployed to address the impact of the adverse weather conditions," said a statement from the Krasnodar Territory Emergencies Ministry published on the regional ministry's Telegram channel.
Sirens sounded in densely populated areas, and water flooded the streets.
Later in the morning, in Defanovka, four people were rescued from a water trap, according to the Baza Telegram channel.
While walking along a bridge, they were caught in a sudden flood, which swept away the building.
Once in the water, the victims managed to cling to trees and wait for rescuers to arrive.
In the same Defanovka area, a bus with 25 passengers in its cabin fell into the river.
The incident occurred on Koltsevaya Street.
According to preliminary data, the road was eroded by floodwaters, which was the likely cause of the accident. However, thanks to the swift efforts of the Kuban-SPAS emergency rescue service, the passengers were rescued.
No casualties were reported.
In Lermontovo Village, a bridge was destroyed by flooding.
The structure was also severely damaged.
As a result, 300 homes lost access to the river.
Transportation access for residents is currently cut off."

The data they need to track you and spam you, the data to teach their AI surveillance.

Ireland is one of Europe’s main digital hubs, with the number of data centres on the rise to support global tech giants.
But behind the promise of innovation lies a growing crisis: these facilities now consume over 21-percent of the country’s electricity.
And now- the Irish national energy grid is under immense strain.

#Rewilding #Research #ListeningToNature
Researching nature requires a lot of computer power and "AI". Not only in processing huge files of figures and data for a nice comprehensible graph [for a 'paper' or a YTvideo];
but also for storing huge amounts of data of every format. In this case sound files of different sites in different states of development. AI is used to automatically identify the sounds of birds in the area and comparing that set of data with the development of the site.
or for E-DNA for identifying the species of a biotope, without it being necessary to see or catch them.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
We're on a mission to restore the Mira river basin to its best ecological state. In the face of climate change and other current human-related threats, we work to ensure the conservation of the area's diverse terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats and species. To do this we aim to operate at the landscape scale in cooperation with local communities, setting Portugal’s Southwest on the rewilding track.
