Many of the Most Beautiful Places in America Have Been Transformed Into Open Toilets


 

TheEconomicCollapseBlog.com

Once upon a time, America was such a beautiful place.  As a nation, we are blessed with great natural beauty, and the shiny, clean cities that we constructed from coast to coast were once the envy of the entire world.  But now many of the most beautiful places in America have literally been turned into open toilets.  Let me give you an example of what I am talking about.  Decades ago, California beaches were so spectacular that tourists would come from all over the world to experience them.  But now the beaches in one section of southern California resemble “a portable toilet” and have been closed for 700 days in a row due to billions of gallons of untreated wastewater that is flowing into the Pacific Ocean…

Residents of a small coastal city in California said they’ve been ‘trapped in a portable toilet’ after 700 consecutive days of beach closures.

For the past four years, residents of Imperial City, a small town located a 20-minute drive from San Diego, have endured daily exposure to sea spray and aerosol particles emanating from the polluted ocean.

More than 100 billion gallons of untreated wastewater have flowed through Mexico’s Tijuana River and into the Pacific Ocean, eventually reaching the coastal town over the past five years.

The Scourge of Microplastics


ANHInternational.org

Story-at-a-glance

  • Microplastic contamination is a monumental environmental and health issue with serious consequences
  • Micro and nanoplastics have found their way into just about every nook and cranny on land, sea, air, human and animal bodies. It's in our food and the water we drink, particularly bottled water
  • It's now being implicated in a wide-range of human disease processes from cancer to heart disease and neurological conditions
  • There's little we can do to avoid it, but plenty we can do to minimise our exposure.

Plastic. It’s ubiquitous. From mountain tops to ocean depths, it’s a part of our everyday lives. Plastic pollution is so widespread now, scientists are dubbing this period in history the ‘Plasticene Age’.

One of the most versatile, well used and persistent substances that exists on earth, it generally isn’t biodegradable. As it breaks down in the environment it gets smaller and smaller until it infiltrates just about everything in the form of micro- and nano-sized particles. They’re everywhere. In the air, water, seas, human bodies, dust, food, plants and animals. Finally, the subject of microplastics is hitting the headlines as awareness of the problem escalates.

DNA and Developmental Damage from Cell Towers on the Greek Island of Samos

Effects on Insects, Flowers and Vegetables


 

SafeTechInternational.org

Introduction

A recent paper, ‘Human‑made electromagnetic fields: Ion forced‑oscillation and voltage‑gated ion channel dysfunction, oxidative stress and DNA damage (Review) published in the International Journal of Oncology by biophysicist Dimitris J. Panagopoulos et. al. states unequivocally that electromagnetic radiation from wireless technology damages DNA. This leads to infertility, sterility, mutations and extinctions, and it explains the loss of biodiversity that we are currently experiencing on this planet.

Bill Gates Launches Scheme to ‘Save Planet’ from ‘Climate Change’ by Chopping Down Millions of Trees


 

SlayNews.com

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has just launched his radical new scheme that promises to “save the planet” from “climate change.”

As Slay News reported last year, Gates’s organization, Breakthrough Energy, plowed $6.6 million into the project led by Kodama Systems.

The project promised to remove “carbon emissions” from the Earth’s atmosphere by chopping down trees and burying them underground.

The move will see 70 million acres of forests, mostly in the Western United States, cut down.

According to the project organizers, “scientists” say “burying trees can reduce global warming.”

Maui ‘Ground Zero’ for Release of Billions of Biopesticide Lab-Altered Mosquitoes


Up to 775,992,000 bacteria-infected mosquitoes could be released in Maui every week for the next 20 years, according to Hawaii Unites, a nonprofit that last month lost its bid to require the state to conduct an environmental impact statement before pressing go on the controversial project.

ChildrensHealthDefense.org

Hawaii Unites in May 2023 sued the state in the Circuit Court of the First Circuit in Hawaii. The group’s president and founder, Tina Lia, told The Defender:

“These biopesticide lab-altered mosquitoes are already being released in East Maui. Hawaii Unites has taken the state to court seeking a ruling to require an environmental impact statement for the project and comprehensive studies of the risks.”

She said Hawaii Unites describes itself as “a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation and protection of our environment and natural resources,” with a focus on “protecting the health of Hawai‘i’s people, wildlife, and the ‘āina from the State of Hawaii’s biopesticide bacteria-infected mosquito experiment.”

According to the group’s lawsuit, the state did not perform a sufficient environmental impact study prior to the launch of the project. Last year, state residents submitted 291 pages of public comments, both for and against the project.

“The final environmental assessment for this project is insufficient under the Hawai‘i Environmental Policy Act,” Lia said. “[It] fails to describe mitigation measures or biosecurity protocols for the mosquitoes, and the discussion of alternatives is inadequate.”

According to Lia, the Birds, Not Mosquitoes partnership claims it plans to suppress southern house mosquitoes that transmit avian malaria to native birds by rendering male mosquitoes — which carry the Wolbachia bacterium that causes avian malaria — unable to reproduce.

The technology, Wolbachia incompatible insect technique (IIT), previously was endorsed by Gates Philanthropy Partners, an arm of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, although there does not appear to be a direct link between these organizations and the Hawaii ongoing project.

Video: How They Transformed Desert Into Fertile Farmland & Forests Without Planting Any Trees


This country is has been making some large scale incredible transformations, restoring forests and farmland, turning a community from food aid dependent into food producers. It's an amazing achievement considering the fact this countries geography makes it very venerable to desertification due to its proximity to several deserts, such as the Sahara and Great Arabian Deserts. This country also has a desert known as the hottest driest and most inhospitable place on earth known as the Danakil desert.

Several factors have led to the population forgetting how to manage their landscapes sustainably causing an unprecedented crisis in the 1980's with famine that continued to make the community food aid dependent, the landscape was eroded and degraded, causing devastating landslides and floods during the rainy season, and prolonged, crippling drought in the dry season.

Over the last decade they have managed to turn this around working with Tony Rinaudo and WorldVison they have been able to restore hundred and thousands of hectares of land, that have help to restore the water-shed, holding water during the wet season and letting it soak into the aquifers, instead of being washed away, as a result there is still water flowing in the dry season and farmers have been able to not only be self-reliant but also food producers, selling their surplus crops.

Video: Resident Shows Off Disturbing Secret of East Palestine Creeks Ahead of Biden Visit: ‘They’re Lying to You’


TheGatewayPundit.com

President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit East Palestine, Ohio, this month, the site of a train derailment a year ago. Biden was criticized at the time for not traveling to see the effects of the accident.

There’s good news for Biden, then, according to a resident and a local environmental expert who has tested water and soil near the derailment site: Biden can still see the effects of the accident, because they haven’t been fully cleaned up despite official claims to the contrary.

NewsNation spoke to local resident Rick Tsai, who has become so frustrated by the government response to the incident that he’s running for Congress.

“They’re either inept, or there’s something nefarious going on,” Tsai told NewsNation’s Rich McHugh.

Narrative Buster: Real Climate Scientists Say We Should Embrace HIGHER CO2 Levels


 

TheEpochTimes.com

The Earth has entered “uncharted territory” and life is “under siege.” The public has failed to heed this message and now “time is up,” warns a recent report from Oxford Academics’ BioScience.

The authors of the report say the catalyst behind the dire warnings is escalating concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2).

Video: GREENING THE DESERT PROJECT - How the Sahara Desert is Turning into a Farmland Oasis


In the African Sahel a country called Niger bordering the Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world, is stopping desertification and turning the deserts into an Oasis.

Regenerative Agriculture is leading the way with a technique called Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration or FMNR FMNR was pioneered in the 1980s by Tony Rinaudo and Australian Agronomist who is widely known as the forest maker. The innovative technique has been adopted by local farmers through peer to peer learning making it cost effective and easy to implement. Over the last 40 years the visual results and the data have shown FMNR has been extremely successful in turning desert into farmland. It has regenerated 5 million hectors of degraded land, 200 million trees have been restored and has benefited 2.5 million people increasing house hold income by 18-24% the available arable land has doubled since the severe droughts of the 1970s and tree density has 10x since its all time low in the 1980s.

This is an extraordinary achievement considering Niger only receives on average 6.5 inches of rainfall a year and 80% of the country is considered a desert. The country has been effected by severe droughts and suffered huge land loss over the last decades and as a consequence Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world. However Niger has been turning this around, by turning its deserts into a farmland oasis through the technique of FMNR which you will learn more about in this video.

Oh the Irony! Lithium Mining for EVs Is Far Worse Than Fracking


IndependentSentinal.com

We’re moving to electrification, particularly in cars, at Breakneck speed. The idea is to save the planet from fossil fuels. The only problem is who will save the planet from lithium mining. Lithium is needed for electric car batteries.

Lithium mining is a relatively new industry, but it’s booming due to Western policies on climate change. That’s ironic since the mining of lithium for electric car batteries is having a negative impact on the environment.
