Powerful and wise words from the Amazon.

“I think humanity need to learn again what the river never forgot: persistence. Because the river doesn’t stop. It flows, returns, spreads, skirts the rocks, and continued. Within it live currents, alligators, fish, plantd – so many bodies moving within the same body, breathing together. Perhaps that’s what they’ve forgotten, that we are also part of this current, this great organism that is the Earth. And if the river insists on flowing, even wounded, perhaps there is still hope that humanity will find, in the waters, the meaning of resistence.” – Waiã Xipai

U.S. Olympic and other teams will bring their own AC units to Paris, undercutting environmental plan
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/us-olympic-teams-bring-ac-units-paris-rcna158415
<< the Olympics should not allow this - it is fundamentally selfish and unfair.

At very least, they should not supply electricity to power the AC, and publicly call out any team trying to unlevel the playing field in this way.

Interesting story in the Times this morning about successful strategies for reducing food waste in Ohio. Not sure how well these would scale - UA and Hilliard are both wealthy communities - but worth a read.
