a chart showing the rising amount of plastic consumption from 1950 to 2000 and 15, with most of the rise attributable to packaging where plastic is only used for about six months. Most of it is never recycled or incinerated

This is a nice illustration of how waste powers production.

The idea of single-use, discardable plastic 'filling up landfills' was magic for producers.

This is the same principle behind fossil fuel companies producing energy, and the tech companies that waste it

Dr. Laura Lagomarsino smiling at the camera while conducting fieldwork in a tropical environment. She wears a colorful striped knit hat with red trim and a light-colored field jacket with yellow straps. Behind her is a distinctive tropical plant with large, paddle-shaped leaves arranged in a rosette pattern, characteristic of high-altitude Andean vegetation.

Meet Dr. Laura Lagomarsino, who fell in love with plants during childhood camping trips in California's redwood forests. Her passion for plant-pollinator relationships began with a magical moment watching hummingbirds visit curved flowers in Costa Rica's cloud forests.

Deep ALMA observations of 12CO emission from fifteen protoplanetary disks reveal a stunning range of structures in the gas morphology including gaps, rings and spirals. Credit: Richard Teague and the exoALMA Collaboration

I recently visited the ALMA observatory in Chile. While I was poking around the telescopes, ALMA researchers released amazing new views of planet-forming disks around young stars.

These are the most detailed images yet of new solar systems being born. 🧪🔭

Black and white photo of Dorothy Levitt, a young white woman wearing a luxurious fur coat, smiling while holding the car's steering wheel. Her smile tells us that she really loves cars.

Dorothy Levitt (1882 – 1922) was an English racing driver, motorist, and writer.
In 1905, she established the record for the longest drive achieved by a woman.
Here, on the frontispiece of her book The Woman and the Car: A Chatty Little Handbook for all Women who Motor or Who Want to Motor, 1909.
