Coral reef (Ecosystems 🏞️)

A coral reef is an underwater ecosystem characterized by reef-building corals. Reefs are formed of colonies of coral polyps held together by calcium carbonate. Most coral reefs are built from stony corals, whose polyps cluster in groups. Coral belongs to the class Anthozoa in the animal phylum Cnidaria, which includes sea anemones and jellyfish.

Swiss food labels must declare animal suffering from July

From July 1, food labels in Switzerland will have to disclose whether products of animal origin involve painful practices. The Swiss federal government has approved a series of ordinances requiring the labelling of meat, eggs and foie gras.

Dès le 1er juillet 2025, la Suisse imposera un étiquetage obligatoire pour les produits d’origine animale (viande, œufs, lait, foie gras, fourrure, etc.) indiquant si des pratiques douloureuses sans anesthésie ont été utilisées (castration, écornage, gavage, etc.). Cet étiquetage devra figurer dans tous les points de vente, qui auront 2 ans pour se conformer.

Les Points Forts ✨ :

✨ Les consommateurices pourront ainsi savoir si ces produits d’origine animale ont été obtenus à l’aide de pratiques douloureuses, sans que les animaux aient été étourdis.

✨ Tous les établissements proposant ces denrées alimentaires et produits d’origine animale sont soumis à l’obligation de déclaration.

✨ Le Conseil fédéral suisse interdit également dès le 1er juillet l’importation de fourrure et de produits de la pelleterie obtenus par des pratiques cruelles envers les animaux.

À quand la même chose pour le Québec ? 🤩

“A recent study published in Nature shows that if by 2050, people substitute half of the global #beef, #chicken, #pork and #milk consumption for plant-based alternatives, emissions from agriculture and land use to produce these #AnimalProducts would decline by 31%.” https://mstdn.ca/@dyckron/111269319490345309

#Carmine, also called #cochineal, is a pigment of a bright-red color obtained from the aluminium complex derived from carminic acid.

Synthetic carminic acid is complex to produce. Therefore, natural cochineal carmine is predominant on the market.

To prepare carmine, powdered scale insect bodies are boiled in an ammonia or sodium carbonate solution. #Gelatin may be added to modify the precipitation.

To obtain 1 pound of red dye, one needs 70,000 cochineal bugs.

Check out these three "super-leverage points" identified in new study by University of Exeter and World Resources Institute. #PlantBasedProteins are #2 on list. Key Takeaway: "If public institutions such as schools, hospitals and governments used their purchasing power to buy #plantbased proteins instead of meat, this could be a “powerful lever to increase uptake of these products,” the report authors said. This policy change could also help shift #socialnorms around #plantbasedproducts and increase their appeal, Tim Lenton said. Moving away from #animalproducts would have the added advantages of cutting #farming emissions, freeing up land to support #wildlife and #carbonstorage, and reducing incentives for #deforestation."

These 3 solutions could turn the tide on the climate crisis

These three small solutions could have a snowball effect on the climate crisis, prompting big emissions cuts across the most polluting sectors of the global economy.
