TITLE: Presumed Extinct: World’s Smallest Otter Found in Busy Nepal River After 186 Years without a Sighting
Though officially classified as vulnerable, no credible sighting of the Asian short-clawed otter, the smallest species of its kind, has been made in almost 200 years. So when forestry officials in Nepal found an injured, juvenile otter at the confluence of two major rivers last November, they never imagined that their actions might determine the […]

"A vet finding plastic netting in the stomach of a cow was the spur for Southland farmer, Grant Lightfoot, to try to find a better sort of wrapping hay bales.
He turned to flax fibre and he and his partner spent time knitting up 50 metres by hand to try out on one of his baling machines.
... after some further development, friends urged him to take it to last year's Field Days at Waimumu near Gore, where it won the the environmental award."

Let's dive into some fantastic stories that remind us there's still hope and positivity in the world.
In the late 20th century, China’s Loess Plateau, the world’s most eroded region, faced severe soil degradation. The “Grain for Green” program, launched in 1999, restored the plateau by converting farmland to forests and grasslands. This initiative revitalized the environment and improved local livelihoods.

Rainforest Oil Exploration Stopped as Court Rules Uncontacted Tribes Have Right to Remain in Isolation

In these troubled times, here's a rare piece of good news! The city government in Washington DC has set up locked bins around the city where residents can leave food scraps for composting! These bins are so much more convenient than the once-a-week collections of food scraps at farmers markets. They are available 24/7, and there are several in each ward.
Please do NOT throw anything in the bins that isn't compostable. Note that green-tinted produce bags from local grocery stores are NOT compostable. Also NOT compostable are produce stickers. For a full list of composting dos and don'ts, a map of the bins, and the code to open the bins, see https://zerowaste.dc.gov/FoodWasteDropOff
Be warned that using the bins requires two good arms and normal adult height. It's disappointing that the city didn't choose a design that would be usable by people of more body types. Still, these bins are a step in the right direction!
A note for faraway readers: These bins were installed by the CITY government of Washington DC, which is separate from the federal government. However, Republicans in Congress like to meddle in city affairs, and there has been talk recently about eliminating the District of Columbia's elected city government and replacing it with an administrator chosen by the Republicans. Local people are horrified by this prospect. The composting program is one example of what's at stake. It doesn't seem likely that the Republicans, if they eliminated the city government, would continue the new drop-off program for food scraps. One reason that DC residents want statehood is so we will have protection against threats to eliminate our elected city government. Although not perfect, the city government does some good work.
zerowaste.dc.govFood Waste Drop-Off | Residents | Zero Waste DCDistrict residents can now drop off food waste at designated farmers' markets in all eight District wards free of charge. The food waste will be taken to a local composting site where it will be turned into compost, an environmentally friendly-soil amendment.

#Goodnews für die #Verkehrswende 
500 Straßen in Paris sollen #autofrei gestaltet werden. Das hat eine Abstimmung ergeben, über die diese Woche viel berichtet wurde.
Weniger #Autos heißt in jedem Fall mehr Lebensqualität. Wir sind sehr auf die Umsetzung gespannt!
#CarSharing kann als wichtiger Baustein viel dazu beitragen: jedes geteilte Fahrzeug sorgt für insgesamt weniger Autos. Das bedeutet auch weniger benötigte #Parkplätze.

Good things still happen:
The old lady we helped steer through hip replacement surgery and rehab is back in her home.
This is one of the coolest surgeries if successful. Hardly able to walk for ten years, she is moving unassisted and smiles a lot.
Probably great timing, too, given the outlook for older USians and healthcare.
