Mar. 21, 2026

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - "Dozens of people spent their Saturday cleaning up Huntsville’s waterways.

"Huntsville’s Green Team and local volunteers spent time picking up trash and other debris from local streams.

"Organizers say it’s essential to keep the city clean to protect North #Alabama’s environment.

" 'This is a good place because, first of all, this water it is coming through Spring Branch, it’s flowing down South Huntsville to the Tennessee River. And a lot of it catches up here, it accumulates here,' said Dan Waldrop."

Sông Seine, biểu tượng của Paris, từng bị biến thành "hố thải" do ô nhiễm nghiêm trọng kéo dài hơn một thế kỷ. Nhờ chiến dịch làm sạch quy mô lớn, dòng sông đang hồi sinh mạnh mẽ. Hệ thống xử lý nước thải hiện đại, đường hầm chứa nước mưa khổng lồ và luật pháp nghiêm ngặt giúp giảm đáng kể chất thải đổ vào sông. Dự kiến năm 2025, người dân và du khách sẽ có thể bơi lội an toàn tại Seine – đánh dấu bước tiến lớn trong cải tạo môi trường đô thị.

Written from the US perspective, but Alberta companies use the exact same playbook with the same orphaned wells and no cleanup plan. It's another example of just how heavily subsidized oil and gas is.

Canada successfully recovers 695 metric tons of "ghost gear" from Atlantic waters after 2022's storm Fiona.

The cleanup addresses the plastic pollution that threatens marine life and fisheries, left by the powerful storm that caused significant coastal damage.
