But that order expired at the end of December without being renewed, making imports more expensive again. Temporary waivers, offered during the peak of the crisis to low-income families receiving food assistance, expired at the end of February. That means the … More AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce When I read this article, I thought how is it possible babies requiring special formula’s can’t find nourishment? Years of defunding the Federal Government have limited the reach and power of the FDA. Consolidation of the Baby Formula industry, doesn’t allow for competition. Worse all those import waivers and extra waivers to pay for “ special formula “ have expired. It’s not the mother’s fault, if she can’t supply enough food to her child.

America’s top spot is not a traffic-clogged metropolis or renowned heavy industry zone but a small town surrounded by farmland and mountains. These findings – based on a model developed … More AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce While analyzing the 10 worst pollution hot spots in America, the Guardian determined, Hispanic and Black communities are at their epicenter. However, as we’ve discovered, pollution effects us all and doesn’t hover over one area. Birmingham, Atlanta, St. Louis, rural Amish, Pa, Houston and Bakersfield, Ca. have the worst pollution in our country, if you look at the maps showing WHO standards for acceptable levels of pollution, neighborhoods surrounding hotspots and beyond, don’t meet acceptable levels, either. Carbon Emissions are the main source of Pollution. Why aren’t our representatives at the State and Federal level writing new OHSA, EPA and transportation legislation making our air healthier to breathe? Advocating for less pollution benefits everyone.

When it’s contained, fish are nourished. When it’s overgrown, it rots and produces Hydrogen Sulfide and arsenic. The overgrowth is forming as our oceans warm. Why should we care? This form of seaweed traps Carbon and scaled up , it can be collected by robots and sunk in the oceans for centuries. It’s another way to maintain a 1.5 degree Celsius rise in Global temperatures. #Science & technology

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/06/revealed-1000-super-emitting-methane-leaks-risk-triggering-climate-tipping-points Methane emissions cause 25% of global heating today and there has been a “scary” surge since 2007, according to scientists. This acceleration may be the biggest threat to keeping below 1.5C of global heating and seriously risks triggering catastrophic climate tipping points, researchers say.

The leaks into the atmosphere are preventable. MAINTENANCE at fossil fuel facilities is needed to prevent leaks and would make all sites more efficient. We can convert gas from waste into fuel and change cow’s diet. Methane accounts for 25% of greenhouse gases, it takes 10 yrs to dissipate. #PoliticsAffectsUs, when voting insist Legislators mandate new procedures to curb greenhouse gases.
