Researchers in Chicago tracked neighborhood-level tree canopy over two decades and discovered something startling: “Each year-to-year percent increase in canopy was associated with around a 10 percent reduction in mortality." Keeping mature trees alive can help keep people alive -and cooler, too.

Single frame. Title: “Two way street”. Scene: a road from foreground leading into distance. Left, a woman on a bicycle with a bag and backpack and a small child in a baby seat at the front, riding away from our viewpoint. At left, a series of roadside signs saying, “LEAVE AND I’LL MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL”; “LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO”; SHUT UP OR ELSE”; “BUT I LOVE YOU…”
On the right, driving toward us, a large truck driven by a barely visible man.

Soaring EV sales to shield Australia from fuel shortages
With no end in sight to the war in the Middle East or Iran’s blockade on oil exports, Australia’s growing appetite for electric vehicles is a silver lining to the global energy crisis.
