Brockovichdatacenter.com AI isn’t just floating around “in cloud“. It’s powered by enormous physical facilities, using massive amount of electricity, water, and land. Erin Brockovich says communities deserve to know what’s being built around them before the deals are signed.

Give A Shit About Nature
Give A Shit About Nature@giveashitnature·
If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box. The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year. A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease. Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk." One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks. If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different boxes) is one of the most useful single things you can do for tick exposure at the landscape scale. Match the box to the owl that lives near you. The mouse is the problem, owls are the solution.

@kenhunlee @ChronianS And do you know that CA law (SB 131) currently allows building dangerous ‘advanced manufacturing’ facilities on industrial land with no public disclosure?

I feel like exploding vats of toxic chemicals that force evacuation of 40k people across 10 miles should be bigger news, but hey

@cody_a_hill Yeah, that’s definitely an issue. At the same time, California is building a new underground seven mile 230-kV transmission line into the South Bay this year partly because rapid data center growth is increasing electricity demand in Silicon Valley (ostensibly increasing rates?).

Please spread the world Both Trump USA and EU are now vastly increasing pesticide use knowing this will wipe out our Bees and insects and also a threat to human health
GO GREEN@ECOWARRIORSS

In Germany, a long-term study found a 75% drop in flying insect biomass over 27 years Its outrageous that EU now intends to increase pesticide use permanently knowing this will kill what remains of Bees and insects population Their excuse its too much a burden for corporations

Since I worked there in 2015, Big Bend has always been my last source of hope in the borderlands. A place too rugged, too remote—and with virtually zero crossings, too pointless to tame with border walls. Now the corrupt politicians and billionaire contractors are coming to try and destroy the last best place left in the borderlands. But they don't understand what this place means to us. We will never stop fighting for Big Bend.

This is such a no-brainer. Everyone thinks it's absolutely insane that the USFS os spraying glyphosate on the Tahoe forests and want it stopped. Good news, the @trpa has the congressional power and mandate to protect the Lake Tahoe Basin. Give them a call and tag them so they know they have the support and mandate of the people to use their power to stop this. TRPA - Tahoe Regional Planning Association (775) 588-4547 X @TahoeAgency IG @trpa_tahoe You can also call the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit 530-543-2600

Atrazine is the most widespread pesticide water contaminant in the US It's linked to cancer and fertility problems like low sperm count and irregular menstruation But apparently it's just fine for 100s of species teetering on the brink of extinction 🙄 biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-r…

ALERT: DHS just quietly issued the largest border wall contract in American history, slicing right through the heart of Big Bend National Park. $1.7 billion to destroy our natural heritage, to wall off a congressionally protected national park and wild & scenic river, to obliterate the most cherished public land in all of Texas—all in a place where virtually nobody is crossing the border.

The San Francisco sky was lit Friday night with dozens of colored lasers beaming from the Transamerica Pyramid toward Coit Tower and One Sansome Street -- brought to you by a familiar source. Illuminate is the arts nonprofit that's also behind The Bay Bridge Lights and other installations across the city. More here: abc7news.com/19110391/

The Greenlink project is not only destroying vast swathes of fragile natural habitat, now they are cutting off a whole community so they can send the electricity to data centers. We are beginning to enter the truly dystopian phase of ecological overshoot and collapse. >>

Our #PublicLands agencies are being ripped apart, and 130 years of America's #Conservation legacy is being undone as fast as it can be arranged. The Trump regime's goals are simple and clear: "Tear it all down. Destroy it. Sell it to the highest bidder." sltrib.com/opinion/commen…

I still can’t get an answer from Republican leadership: why does their farm bill shield pesticide companies like Bayer-Monsanto from liability for selling toxic pesticides that cause cancer? If the products are so safe, what are they so afraid of?

BIG MOTHER JONES SCOOP: There are many unresolved health/environmental concerns with glyphosate (a.k.a. Roundup), but the USG keeps letting farmers, companies and public agencies spray it all over—including, as we learned, in America’s forests. motherjones.com/politics/2026/…
