    The media is blaming immigrants for the housing crisis. They're wrong

  • Microplastic pollution: Plants could be the answer
  • Of course, we need government action! But do you know the micro plastic content coming from tap water? Do you have much of a choice as to what you are consuming? Wouldn’t you want to filter it out?

    As far as technology, this isn’t pie in the sky, it seems fairly simple and I wouldn’t be surprised if home-made solar punk versions start appearing in zines and online forums.

  • Microplastic pollution: Plants could be the answer
  • Of course we need stop producing plastics, or at least the types that break down so easily.

    But even then, the micro plastics will likely remain in the environment for some time, so efforts to filter them from water are important. Especially considering as some of the health effects are only starting to become apparent. See https://www.uri.edu/news/2023/08/microplastics-infiltrate-all-systems-of-body-cause-behavioral-changes/

    > … her surprisingly narrow victory as leader probably gives Rachel Notley’s NDP their best possible chance of winning. But if Smith does manage to win a general election in Alberta, her government will give Canadians a sneak preview over the next few years of what could be in store for the rest of the country if Poilievre prevails in his own contest.
