- State of New York passes bill with most ambitious climate targets in the country
- Heat waves and droughts are killing people and other animals (and causing widespread misery) in India and other parts of the world

- Three former Republican EPA chiefs say the current Administration and Agency are undermining science, an approach that will have “catastrophic” results
- People are ingesting 50,000-70,000 microplastics each year (a credit card’s worth of plastic each week), as our plastic garbage has broken down into tiny pieces and entered the food chain
