The Circular Economy and Sustainability

FunWritings

The circular economy is more self sufficient and more sustainable

There are many things we need to think about when we want to keep on having a life that is comfortable

It is time for us to help our children to learn about new ways to live

So that Mother Earth can have the ability to find enough to give

When will we accept that we are producing too much waste these days

And it is possible for us to use waste in much better ways

We have not cared about our soil for far too long

And the food that is being produced won’t keep us strong

Waste management should be done in a new way so that the soil can be replenished

With so many people thinking only about making money, what is being accomplished?

So much of the things we…

Salmon virus originally from the Atlantic, spread to B.C. wild salmon from farms: Study

It also shows that wild Chinook salmon are more likely to be infected with PRV the closer they are to salmon farms, which suggests farms transfer the virus to wild salmon.

Genome sequencing of viruses from farms and wild fish further indicates that transmission occurs between farms and wild salmon.

“Both our genomic and epidemiological methods independently came to the same conclusion, that salmon farms act as a source and amplifier of PRV transmission,” said Dr. Gideon Mordecai, a viral ecologist and Liber Ero fellow with UBC Science and researcher with UBC Medicine, who led the study. “Because separate lines of independent evidence all point to the same answer, we’re confident in our finding.”

Opinion | McConnell focuses ‘100 percent’ on blocking Biden — and zero percent on America – The Washington Post

It has long been obvious that Mitch McConnell puts party before country, but this week he actually admitted it. The Senate minority leader told Republican colleagues that they should oppose the creation of a Jan. 6 commission, no matter how it is structured, because it “could hurt the party’s midterm election message,” as Politico’s Burgess Everett reported. And so, as early as Thursday, McConnell will use the filibuster to thwart a bipartisan effort to prevent further attacks on the U.S. government by domestic terrorists — because he thinks it’s good politics for Republicans. “That is extremely frustrating and disturbing,” Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), the Democrat working hardest to protect the minority’s filibuster rights, told reporters. “There’s a time when you rise above [politics], and I’m hoping that this would be the time that he would do that. I guess, from what I am hearing, he hasn’t.”

Boris Johnson’s former aide: Thousands died needlessly after Covid mistakes | RNZ News

“Tens of thousands of people died, who didn’t need to die,” Cummings added.

At a marathon seven-hour evidence session, the former Downing Street insider painted a picture of policy failure, dithering and a government that had no useful plan for handling a pandemic.

He told MPs: “The truth is that senior ministers, senior officials, senior advisers like me fell disastrously short of the standards that the public has a right to expect of its government in a crisis like this.”

He added: “I would like to say to all the families of those who died unnecessarily how sorry I am for the mistakes that were made and for my own mistakes at that.”
