[I am, of course, biased in this regard, but I also like well-presented metrics – and use cases being met are my favourite!]

"Invasive water hyacinths are effective at removing microplastics, study finds"

https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2025/04/invasive-water-hyacinths-are-effective-at-removing-microplastics-study-finds/

Mongabay Environmental News · 3dInvasive water hyacinths are effective at removing microplastics, study findsMicroplastics are pervasive in the environment and often so small they can’t be seen with the naked eye. Removing them has been a big challenge, but recent research finds that water hyacinths can be effective at remediating microplastic from aquatic environments. Native to South America, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) has become invasive in waterways across […]

Row boat on tranquil water, watercolor.

ART -https://deborahleaguefineart.etsy.com/listing/1093411394/rowboat-on-rippled-water-art-print

Green Rowboat On Rippled Water. Calming watercolor for home or office. High angle view of a rustic, well used fishing boat floating on a tranquil body of water. Gentle waves lap at the side of the boat. Water on the bow reflects the sun's light as do the well worn wooden bench seats. A single rope moors the boat in the water.

Taking a break from adulting. Wanna join me?
#lake #water #trees #spring #nature #photography

Photographing like a young person: upright. You can see a very large lake lying still, with green trees on its banks. The sky and water share the same colour (blue).

I am taking this picture from the shore of a lake, in front of me green bushes and a tree with the sun shining through its leaves. The water and sky are blue.

A curved path along the shore of a lake. Trees to the left and right form a canopy over the path. At the end of the path is a light green tree (a willow, I think). The lake can be seen in the background, there are boat moorings. Sunny day.

View across the lake to a peninsula. There are arches overgrown with ivy. Green and blue dominate this photo.

Much of the time these days, it seems like the whole world is just circling ever closer to the plug-hole of doom.
Mind you, I don't suppose the real plug-hole of doom looks as attractive as this water feature.
I always like photos where you have to look twice to check whether they are in colour or black and white, but I imagine there isn't much colour at the plug-hole of doom.

Real rooted solutions to solve the climate crisis

La Via Campesina - EN · 1dFrom Carajás to Gaza: Peasant Struggles Are Global — To Defend Land, Water, and Territories for Life!In March, La Via Campesina called on social movements and civil society organizations everywhere to hit the streets and push back against this violent, extractivist system that is fueling hunger, poverty, forced migration, wars, and ecological collapse. The response has been resounding.

Thames Water claims that the costs of upgrading & repairing sewage plants has risen by around ten times in the last four years... as a defence for why the work is taking so long.

Rather than being an issue of inflation & UK-related costs, it would seem more likely that maintenance costs (and liabilities) were previously massively under-stated to 'allow' for the draining of cash from the business while not catching OFTWAT's (albeit myopic) attention!

Its corruption!
