Revealed: Pesticide giants make billions on toxic, bee-harming chemicals - Unearthed
If we would practice smart polyculture, we would not need all this poison. Unfortunately, these companies make so much money of it that they fight tooth and nails to keep us poisoning the planet. Maybe we have to stop them doing so? Planet before Profits!

Soaring Beyond the Green New Deal - Stan Cox: The Green New Deal and Beyond: Ending the Climate Emergency While We Still Can - Resilience
This book is an inspiration!
Stan Cox: The Green New Deal and Beyond: Ending the Climate Emergency While We Still Can
When Stan Cox was writing his book, The Green New Deal and Beyond: Ending the Climate Emergency While We Still Can, he scripted these prophetic words: “The oft-predicted national decline in use of fossil fuels is nowhere to be seen, and it is unlikely to occur on its own, at least until the next economic meltdown.” He became one of those few people who dare predict the future; but it was unfortunate for humanity that his prediction came true. Between the time that Cox foresaw the conditions under which fossil fuel usage would go down and his book appeared in print, the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, production crashed in country after country, and CO2 emissions dropped even more than they did during the 2008 financial crisis.

America Is Reopening. But have we flattened the curve? - Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center
As states throughout the U.S. lift stay-at-home orders, reopen businesses, and relax social distancing measures, this graph shows whether cases of COVID-19 are increasing, decreasing, or remaining constant within each state.

Sulfur Dioxide Concentrations Drop 40% Over India During COVID-19
Unfortunately we will rush back to normal - or even worse...
Concentrations of sulfur dioxide in polluted areas in India have decreased by around 40% between April 2019 and April 2020. Using data from the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite, from the European Union Copernicus program, scientists have produced new maps that show the drop in concentrations across the country in times of COVID-19.

In a report by Greenpeace last year, India was named the world’s largest emitter of anthropogenic sulfur dioxide – a significant contributor to air pollution. Sulfur dioxide causes many health-related problems, can harm sensitive ecosystems and is also a precursor to acid rain.

How Big Dairy is heating up the planet and hollowing rural communities
Thirteen of the world’s largest dairy corporations combined to emit more greenhouse gases (GHGs) in 2017 than major polluters BHP, the Australia-based mining, oil and gas giant or ConocoPhillips, the United States-based oil company. Unlike growing public scrutiny on fossil fuel companies, little public pressure exists to hold global meat and dairy corporations accountable for their emissions, even as scientific evidence mounts that our food system is responsible for up to 37% of all global emissions.

Tainted love | Corporate Europe Observatory
Germany is assuming the EU presidency at a crucial moment, as the body sets a path out of the pandemic-induced financial crisis and considers key climate legislation.
Researchers at Corporate Europe Observatory have put together a really interesting report on how Germany, despite its climate bonafides, is remarkably close to many polluting industries - such as cars, gas and chemicals.
