Traffic – Exhaust fumes
However, the research suggests the impact could be far wider, despite looking at only one component of air pollution, chiming with a global review published earlier this year that indicated almost every cell in the body may be affected by dirty air.

Kenyan Wilson Kipsang won the 2013 Berlin Marathon in 2 hours, 3 minutes and 23 seconds — an average of 4:42 per mile. It was easily the fastest marathon time ever recorded, an incredible feat for another powerful Kenyan runner.

What can kindness do for you? Give you a warm glow perhaps, or a feeling of well-being? While that may be true, scientists and academics at a new research centre say it can do much more – it can extend your life.
The staff at UCLA’s Bedari Kindness institute are ready for the jokes.
“We look at the scientific point of view. We aren’t sitting around in circles, holding hands. We’re talking about the psychology, the biology, of positive social interactions,” says Daniel Fessler, the institute’s inaugural director.

By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the sea. Ten tons of plastic are produced every second.
Sooner or later, a tenth of that will end up in the oceans. Coca-Cola says it wants to do something about it – but does it really?
In January 2018, Coca-Cola made an ambitious announcement:
The brand, which sells 120 billion plastic bottles every year, promised a “world without waste” by 2030.

A co-founder of Extinction Rebellion [XR] has sparked anger in Germany after referring to the Holocaust as “just another fuckery in human history”.
Roger Hallam has been accused of downplaying the Nazis’ genocide of 6 million Jews by arguing in an interview that the significance of the Holocaust has been overplayed.
In the interview with the weekly Die Zeit, in which he referred to the Holocaust several times, Hallam said: “The fact of the matter is, millions of people have been killed in vicious circumstances on a regular basis throughout history.” Continue reading →
