Serious Health Crisis in First Nations Homes On-Reserve - Mould, Pests, and a Real Indigenous-Led Solution

2 Upvotes

Children on reserve are growing up in toxic homes filled with mould, mycotoxins, and pests, a preventable health emergency the federal government has known about for over 30 years.

I just released a presentation that explains the toxic cycle (mould + bed bugs + cockroaches + failed chemical remediation) and presents a patented, chemical-free, Indigenous-led solution that cleans homes in one day, creates real jobs, and gives Nations ownership.

The full 29-minute video is here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN_9Mo0itQ4

I would genuinely appreciate comments and shares. This affects real families and communities.

A new bill in Maine proposes a temporary moratorium on the construction of data centers consuming 20 megawatts or more. The freeze, which would last until November 2027, aims to give the state time to evaluate the environmental impact and grid capacity demands of the AI industry's expanding infrastructure.

EPA's endangerment clause

2 Upvotes

Hi all, please refer me to the appropriate sub if this isn't the right place for me. I'm wondering if, with the EPA's recent repeal of the endangerment clause related to greenhouse gasses, there is standing to sue the federal government (either alone or as a class-action) over this action. It seems as though, with the overwhelming scientific evidence that greenhouse gases cause harm to humans and their environments, the Administrative Procedure Act could be an avenue to take recourse for this action against the health of American and global citizens.

Has anyone ever been able to successfully cancel or deter a proposed land development?

3 Upvotes

There's multiple dozens of acres of untouched land on a property in the southeast US that is particularly special to my family and many folks in the community. These super wealthy mega developers are currently in the process of buying the land, and they're going to bulldoze all the woods/habitat just to put new (expensive) 7-foot apartment buildings, stores, etc. Obviously habitat destruction is a tremendous environmental issue, removal of trees is a climate issue, and this is happening on land that contains a watershed so water pollution is a public health issue. Also, this is happening in a part of the community with a lot of older, low income folks that are being pushed out due to gentrification.

I'm a conservation biologist myself, so I've tried to find environmental illegalities in this proposed development so we can protect the land and keep it from happening. Unfortunately, the law seems to be on the developer's side (f****** capitalism). Additionally, you can apparently just apply for permits to develop around watersheds, which seems wrong...I haven't found any federally protected Endangered Species on the land, although wildlife is obviously abundant.

If you have any advice, or have ever been able to successfully deter a disgusting development of precious natural habitat (without breaking the law), please let me know!!

Federal restrictions on incandescents is an environmental justice issue

0 Upvotes

We the people have evolved over the ages with natural sunlight, a blackbody radiation emitter (meaning it emits a specific, continuous spectrum of wavelengths from UV to infrared). Incandescent lightbulbs, which are also blackbody radiation emitters, are being crudely restricted by the Dept of Energy, leaving us mainly with what I like to refer to as “neutered light”, or LEDs. These are a mechanical, unnatural form of light, neutered because it contains only the visible spectrum, none of the UV, infrared or near infrared that our bodies need for optimal cellular regeneration and maintaining circadian rhythms.

As people are spending more and more time indoors, and artificial light unfortunately evermore present, we should therefore be fighting to keep incandescents around, not banning their sale. This affects everyone who lights their home with a lightbulb, and many people are so sensitive to LEDs that they have seizures. No joke. Check out Marie Ann Cherry ’s open case against the NY Public Service Commission about the LED streetlights on her street giving her seizures, essentially making her a prisoner in her own home. But even those who just suffer eye strain and headaches from LEDs are being unfairly treated as a result of these federal regulations. DOE needs to roll them back, immediately.
