The Hard Ceiling over Texas Cities’ Climate Plans

📰 Curb‑cutting Resistance Helped Reshape Tucson’s Urban Ecology
🌧️ Tucson: A man illegally diverted rainwater into streetside basins in 1998. Years later, it transformed a desert neighborhood into a shaded, food‑producing micro‑ecosystem.
🌵 The approach revived Indigenous rain‑harvesting traditions but also caused Tucson to change water management laws to be more nature positive.

How imminent is eco-system collapse & what would be the impact on the UK?
Well, the Secret Services have concluded its a lot nearer that we might think (could be only five years away) & the impact on national security (and crucially, food security) will be much worse that (again) you might think.
Critics have been warning of a potential crisis in the food system compounded by a collapse of local eco-systems - it seems now the spooks agree!

You've probably got an old phone gathering dust in a drawer somewhere.
You meant to get it fixed. But repairing it was too expensive, too difficult, or simply impossible.
That’s not an accident. Companies like Apple and Samsung profit when we don’t repair and buy new instead. While mountains of electronic waste continue to grow, we pay the price.
Right now, the EU is working on a new law to tackle this mountain of waste. It's called the Circular Economy Act. Done right, it would mean products built to last, and repair that’s easy and affordable.
But there's a problem. Right now, the plans are all about recycling, and almost nothing about repair and reuse. That suits the industry fine: they'd rather you give up on your old phone and buy a new one.
We can still turn this around, the law is being written as we speak. But only if enough of us raise our voices now.

Peru protects Amazon headwaters after 13-year campaign.
Peru has created the Aguas Calientes Maquia Regional Conservation Area, protecting 981.6 km² of Amazonian forests, wetlands and rivers after a campaign that kicked off in 2013.
The reserve safeguards the Maquía River and Chunuya stream, and strengthens protection for Indigenous Peoples in voluntary isolation. Surveys have documented jaguars, lowland tapirs, red-and-green macaws and white-bellied spider monkeys among at least 20 endangered species #peru #Conservation #Nature #environment #amazonrainforest #wildlife

Researchers used historical #maps, aerial #photos, and #lidar #data tracked by #machinelearning to measure the decline. Most losses came from development, #erosion, and invasive grasses, but some dunes expanded by 15 km² .
