β€˜They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Trying to use less plastic?

Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.

β€œI think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. β€œIt was such a shock."

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Yep & so is Aus (where I am) because there were 3 Aus sailors on board who were board and 1 in 10 crew members on all US attack Subs are Aussie due to Aukus deal. So they're being dragged into an illegal war.
Btw, I meant Geneva Convention in my other post, not "international law".

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

He's the epitome of baby boomer i.e born a few months after WW2, June '46 so if you were born in '58/'59 are you at the tail end of his generation? I'd have thought you'd be too young to count as a baby boomer.
The generation labels & years aren't fixed or completely agreed on I found out recently
