#ClimatechangeinNigeria is profound. Deforestation causes a 20% loss in C sequestration & adds to desertification. Remaining forests hide insurgents. Communication is poor, data is scarce.

#UKexportsofplasticwaste continue to rise. Exporting is cheaper than recycling. 21 UK plastic recycling/processing factories have shut down on that basis, with job loss. Reopening them & adding more could create 5400 new jobs. Closure of the legal loophole is the advocates goal. photofromIndia

In the wake of the MonicaLewinsky tale in 1998, multiple newspapers/editorials called on PresClinton to resign. Today they remain silent re Trump’s moral depravity. It’s not a question of whether they even carry any sway in today’s world. It’s the #hypocrisyofthemedia that is at issue.

#Driedblacksoldierflylarvae are used by aquaculture; live larvae can serve as poultry feed. A 2024 AustralianPorkLimited conclusion: waste volumes can be reduced up to79% & the fertilizer outperforms commercial synthetic fertilizer. Fat content of 20-30% could lead to biodiesel.

The US imported enough #leadfromNigeria to make millions of batteries. This is the country whose white Christians Trump wants to invade to protect. Manufacturers that use Nigerian lead make batteries for major carmakers/retailers such as Amazon, Lowe’s, Walmart. Consider the attached photos/facts

#Tesla’sleadbatteryrecyclingprogram sounds good. US automakers have rejected proposals to use only lead that is certified as safely produced. They have used firms in Monterrey Mexico, which has high lead pollution. Elon uses unregulated Nigerian firms.

World’s #largestsailingcargoship operates at a reduced speed & chases the wind; the Neoliner Origin’s goal: to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 80% compared with an equivalent diesel-powered cargo ship – & in the process, chart a course to decarbonise the notoriously dirty shipping industry.

Nonetheless, #regulatoryinertia/politicalgridlock/ a lack of investment are holding back renewable energy deployment. In the US major energy projects take an average of 4.5 years to permit & approval of new transmission lines can take a decade or longer.

#Solar&windpower have become cheaper than coal & natural gas for utility-scale electricity generation in most areas, in large part because the fuel is free. The total global power generation from renewable sources saved US$467 billion in avoided fuel costs in 2024 alone.
