Our club's first foray into Winter Field Day was when SPAR still ran it, and the exchange still included the current temperature.

I remember we were operating outside at a county park, with some tarps strung up to lessen the wind. At roughly 23:00 local, the temperature was 23F, and the electric space heater was just good enough to take the edge off if you rested your hands directly on it.

La protection des eaux européennes menacée au nom de la « simplification »

La Commission européenne veut réviser la directive de protection des eaux, une des pierres angulaires de la politique environnementale, pour faciliter l’ouverture de mines. L’industrie extractive jubile. Les ONG et les services de traitement des eaux fulminent.

In December 2025, the @EU_Commission announced plans to revise the #WFD, the EU’s cornerstone law for water protection.
We urge the Commission not to reopen the Directive, as it would likely weaken it and diminish progress already achieved.

Now, it has achieved a good ecological status, sensu #WFD, for most of the ecosystem components, such as #phytoplankton, #benthos or #fish….
This has happened in many other European countries, thanks to the #WFD
