Scientists, climate activists mourn repeal of EPA Endangerment Finding

The 2009 Endangerment Finding determined that greenhouse gases threatened public health and allowed the EPA to regulate them under the Clean Air Act. In February, the Trump Administration repealed the finding. In response, climate activists held a vigil outside of the San Francisco EPA office.

🎉 🍇🍷 How Sustainable Fungicide for French Vineyards Could Reverse Climate-Driven Crop Losses 🎉

"A newly approved sustainable fungicide for French vineyards provides winemakers with a plant-based alternative after France banned 19 copper-based fungicides that had protected crops for decades.

Eden Research, a UK-based biotechnology company, has developed Mevalone, a sustainable fungicide for French vineyards. This biofungicide uses plant-derived active ingredients that mimic natural compounds plants produce as part of their own immune systems. The product targets the same diseases that copper fungicides once controlled, but offers genuine environmental advantages.

Mevalone supports regenerative agriculture, which minimizes harmful chemical inputs while rebuilding soil health. The product breaks down rapidly in soil and water, meaning it does not persist long-term. Highly persistent pesticides, sometimes called chemicals (PFAS), can damage soil ecosystems. Sustainable fungicides protect the delicate fungal networks underground that support plant nutrition. "
