Plastic pellets found on Kerala coast after shipwreck pose serious environmental impact, warn experts Experts warn of serious implications for marine ecosystems as tiny plastic pellets wash up on Kerala beaches.

Indian sishers can't fish because of chemicals and pellets for making single use plastics. Is this right?

Lara de Mesa, as Santander’s Head of Responsible Banking, can stop funding projects that harm Indigenous women and the Amazon.

This #InternationalWomensDay, we call on her to lead with action.

Lara, will you stand with women and protect the Amazon?

“Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam.

Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for.”

Tolkien

I believe Tolkien said it best

This feels like a sort of carnival-week funeral for the US republic. Beneath deep anger at Trump's orgy of vandalism and self-worship, I feel deep sadness. What a train wreck of a superpower.
