Woman Disgusted When She Uses Tracker to See Where Her Plastic Recycling Really Ends Up

Published by José

“We want to know what was happening with this stuff.” Handy Device An environmentalist put a GPS tracker in with her recycling to see where it ended up — and the results were not confidence-inspiring. As Inside Climate News reports in an investigative collaboration with CBS, Houston activist and avid recycler Brandy Deason tossed an Apple Tag in with her bagged plastic waste to take to one of the city’s new recycling drop-off sites to see what really happens to recyclables. Deason dropped her secretly-tagged plastic bag off with the Houston Recycling Collaboration, a public-private partnership that launched with the help of Exxon nearly two years ago to address the city’s low recycling rates. Though the program was partially billed as being capable of melting any plastic down for reuse chemically, ICN and CBS found with the help of Deason that no such process has occurred in the 20 months since the project first began. In fact, the sorting plant that’s supposed to enact the so-called “advanced recycling” process still hasn’t opened — and won’t do so until …

Being in your third year and having three part-time jobs may sound like a lot to juggle, but fine art student, Hassa Embalo, 21, couldn’t sound more upbeat if she tried. “I love what I do, and they’re literally all my favourite,” she laughs. Her main role is working as a wellbeing assistant at Liverpool Hope University. She gets free accommodation on campus and a salary of £600 a month. “The job is open to all third year students and postgraduates and involves looking after students at the university. So, for example, if anything goes wrong, say with our accommodation or with any mental health issues, my role is to guide them to the right people and get the help that they need.” Alongside this, she works as a student ambassador for four hours a week, and makes two social media videos each month as a content creator for the university. Embalo is not alone in working to fund her studies. Affordability is a huge issue for university students as the UK’s cost of living …

Published by skeptic

Vanessa Lachey has posted a heartbreaking but affirmative reminder to NCIS fans that “anything we dream is ours for the taking,” days after the NCIS: Hawaii series finale aired.  NCIS: Hawai’i season three ended on a major cliffhanger that will never be resolved as the series was canceled by CBS. After the episode aired, Vanessa – who stars as Jane Tennant and was the first woman and woman of color to lead the franchise – posted a picture from the series, showing Jane standing with her back to the camera, facing an airplane and navy sailors. “This show meant so much to me… and more every day I find, to lots of people. As an AAPI Woman, Wife, Mother, Colleague & Friend, I am more proud than ever to have been your Jane Tennant on TV,” she captioned the post.  “This journey has taught me to continue to push the envelope and break glass ceilings. I encourage you ALL to as well! Anything we dream is ours for the taking, no matter what the circumstance! A Hui …

Struggle Ends For 3 Zodiac Signs Who Get A Fresh Start On May 9, 2024

Published by skeptic

It’s Thursday. The Moon is aligned with Mars; you just don’t know if you can handle the guilt. Did you do something ‘bad?’ May 9 may not bring out your worst side, but you might not have many good things to think about regarding your past behavior, as this transit tends to work on our sense of responsibility — and regret. Basically, for three zodiac signs, Thursday will be about reflecting on the past — and not without an ample amount of dread. OK, OK, so we all make mistakes. Some of us learn to overcome our mistakes and live peacefully, knowing that every new day gives us a fresh start. This is where we need to keep our heads on. The day is fresh, it’s new, and we have a chance to greet it with a positive attitude. Yes, Mars transits tend to work our nerves, so it might not be easy to ‘see the world through rose-tinted glasses.’ But we will try. Oh yes, we will. If you find yourself dwelling on something …

Lando Norris has ended Max Verstappen’s winning streak by securing the first victory of his career at the Miami Grand Prix. In his 110th Formula One appearance, the 24-year-old from Bristol took advantage of a safety car period to pull ahead of Verstappen. Verstappen followed Norris on the 180mph drag to the opening corner at the Hard Rock Stadium, but Norris managed to keep him at bay before turning in the fastest lap of the race.

Pro-Palestinian protest ends quietly at University of Southern California

Published by skeptic

Pro-Palestinian protesters at an encampment at the University of Southern California, one of the focal points of anti-Israel protests across U.S. college campuses, left the scene early Sunday after authorities warned them that they could be arrested. Their departure came after university safety officers and Los Angeles police began clearing the center of campus, where police had arrested 93 people on April 24. “If you are in the center of campus, please leave,” the university warned the protesters on the social media platform X, saying they could be arrested if they stayed. Elsewhere, pro-Palestinian protests continued at several college graduation ceremonies on Saturday. At the University of Virginia, 25 people were arrested for trespassing after police clashed with pro-Palestinian protesters who refused to remove tents from the campus. At the University of Michigan, demonstrators chanted anti-war messages and waved flags during graduation ceremonies. More protests occurred at Indiana University, Ohio State University, Princeton University in New Jersey and Northeastern University in Massachusetts. Source link
