Dass es ärgerlich ist, wenn Basketball nur breiter vorkommt, wenn sowas passiert, verstehe ich voll und ganz. Wenn ich mir die Nachrichten quer durch die USA ansehe, scheint die Geschichte aber sehr wahr zu sein. Daher die leichte Verwunderung wegen der Bezeichnung Räuberpistole.

Bei der größeren Aufmerksamkeit für Basketball (und in meinem Fall auch Football) stimme ich voll zu, allerdings ist mir nicht ganz klar, was an der Geschichte eine Räuberpistole sein soll.

Ich befürchte nur, dass es bei uns in Österreich bei der nächsten Wahl noch schlimmer aussehen dürfte.

Proven: Cereal Plants Absorb Nanoplastics Using an advanced method, researchers at TU Graz and the Centre for Electron Microscopy have detected plastic in the roots of wheat plants. Whether the particles reach the ears of grain will be shown ...

Cereal plants absorb nanoplastics!
It was not easy to prove, because very small plastic particles are difficult to distinguish from plant components and mineral particles.
For their experiments, the researchers mark nanoplastic particles with tiny traces of gold:

Less Pollution During Heavy Rainfall: TU Graz Calculates Potential of Nature-Based Measures Decentralised urban drainage systems on private and public lands could absorb half a million cubic metres of water in Graz alone.

💧 Heavy soil sealing ensures an increased risk of flooding in cities during heavy rain. Measures on public land alone already offer a lot of potential for a retention volume of around 190,000 cubic metres of water in Graz.
