Every year in Finland, an item is a chosen as the "most useless item of the year" (turhake = useless item) . Normally it is a leaf blower or something, but this year it is simply "lawn" due to the negative effects mowed grass has on biodiversity yle.fi/a/74-20129143

Vuoden turhake valittiin jälleen – se löytyy lähes jokaiselta pihalta
Vuoden 2024 turhakkeeksi valittiin nurmikko. Valinnalla on jo vuosia nostettu valokeilaan ympäristöä kuormittavia kulutusvalintoja.

New study explores how marine heatwaves contribute to coral bleaching. While deeper coral reefs are often viewed as potential refuges from climate change, we suggest they often experience higher thermal stress and bleaching levels compared to shallow reefs iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
