The ♻️ is everywhere, even on things that aren't recyclable. This #earthday, @HirokoTabuchi and I set out to understand how recycling became so confusing--and the steps we can take to fix it. But first, test your own knowledge with our recycling game! nytimes.com/interactive/20…

🚨Some personal/professional news: I’m elated to share that I’m joining @WNYC and @Gothamist this month as a politics reporter! As I embark on this exciting new chapter, I’ll miss my colleagues at @NPR dearly.

"Although no one is prohibiting people from repairing clothing, the lack of quality in modern fashion means it’s important to be thoughtful about what you’re buying and how you’re taking care of what you already own." Read more from @IzzieRamirez: trib.al/qcZE9iV

If you've tossed plastic Amazon shipping envelopes into the recycling bin, there's a chance it might end up in a dump site in India and being burned in an industrial furnace. I followed the 7,000 mile journey of America's plastic waste to India. bloomberg.com/features/2022-…

🚨 NEW: NYU Langone's emergency room has been secretly allowing the rich, even those with minor complaints, to jump ahead of everyone else. Meanwhile, the poor sometimes struggle to be seen. @sarahkliff and I dug into this two-tiered system of care. nytimes.com/2022/12/22/hea…
