I listened to an interview on CBC As It Happens last night of one of the OLAUG members. One comment stuck with me: She said as you get old you lose your memory and some physical strength but you can still find wonder around you. I very much agree with her.

Solutions to climate change, which would also have the effect of reducing per-person emissions, need to happen within a much shorter period. By the time the population actually does shrink, having fewer people won’t make much difference
For now, it appears that the kind of robots we’d need to replace humans at scale won’t arrive soon enough to help compensate for the slowing productivity growth of an aging population
Legacy PFAS in North Atlantic pilot whales have fallen 60% over the past decade, reflecting earlier phaseouts of the most toxic “forever chemicals.”
But researchers warn of “regrettable substitution,” as similar replacements may cause comparable harm. Meanwhile, human samples show organofluorine levels holding steady or rising — suggesting newer PFAS could be accumulating mainly on land.

Ski resorts adapting: Since 1970, the snow season in The Alps has shrunk by a whopping 34 days
overheated Mediterranean summers: July/August in Italy or Greece now means days where the temperatures are as high as 40°C (104°F). In the peak holiday season, locals no longer hang around but rather choose to flee from the cities. The September-October period is now the new ideal

The Trump Administration exempts new nuclear reactors from environmental review
The Trump Administration has created an exclusion for new experimental reactors being built at sites around the U.S. from a major environmental law.
The exclusion announcement comes just days after NPR revealed officials at the Department of Energy had secretly rewritten environmental, safety and security rules to make it easier for the reactors to be built.

📰 Circular management of human excreta as a pillar of sustainable cities and food systems

This is the written summary of a presentation I gave at the annual meeting of the International Fertiliser Society (you can watch the presentation here: https://video.ploud.fr/w/qb3a8rXPxW7QQmWN7uBBKS)
I discuss the limitations of sewer-based sanitation in the face of climate change and increasing water scarcity: can we still afford the amount of water that is needed for sewers to effectively carry fecal matter all the way to the treatment plant?
Obviously I also mention how alternative management methods are being tested throughout Europe, including in large neighborhoods in Hamburg, Sneek, or Helsingborg (and soon Paris).
