12 reasons why plastic recycling is failing so badly Just 15% of Europe’s plastic waste gets recycled, but we can do better.

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Salthill dart station- nothing to see here. What #climatecrisis? #flooding #leafysuburbs #ItsAllConnected

Fascinating story!

Oh no another leafy suburb! 🍃🍁🍂

Well done for keeping your cool against Micheal’s personal attacks on you! He sure showed the large chip on his shoulder referring to leafy suburbs and large farms!

I bet! But don’t forget pride as well!

Well done! Oliver Sacks wrote about people like this too.

Stunning video montage of just the last two weeks on our dangerously overheating home planet, from the excellent team at @weareyellowdot.bsky.social.

It can be hard to keep up with the #climate 💩 that’s happening but this really helps.

Thank you. Earworms are everywhere!

Yes I say wave maker sometimes. Also, I'm always a little wary when mentioning Kundt's Tube.

Because 50 shades of grey has another connotation now. #liath #dull #overcast

Well the full report has not been released yet. It's early stages and it's likely that multiple missteps led to this tragedy.

But if you only depend on air pressure to measure altitude and air pressure can vary with changing weather conditions which you have to depend on humans to account for....but I'm no pilot! It's only a guess!

I don't know enough to answer but I believe that there are different types of altimeters and I presume that they operate under different formulae which likely lead to discrepancies.

This is so true. The assumption that learning facts and the ability to think creatively are mutually exclusive is bandied about in education circles. There isn't enough time to learn everything by discovery. We have to learn from those who have lived before us.

I have to admit I've never wondered about the precision of this measurement until now. I'm reminded though of LC Maths 2012 Q9 on that topic which compared two formulas.
