Yes, you there!

Just saw the new community announcement for this place and nothing to show for it, so I figure I'll start things off with a simple question - what do you do to reclaim time (or attention) in your typical day?

I for one am on my phone way more than I want to be, alternating between doom scrolling and playing puzzle games. Would love to know how you go about putting the phone down so I can maybe try something new.

Perhaps this feels obvious to some folks but reminder that it takes a number of solutions to combat climate change and urban heat islands

San Diego County in California spent nearly $1 billion on a desalination plant after a 1990s drought left it with scarce supply. Now, with the seawater-to-tap water plant running at just one-third of capacity, its water utility is shopping around deals to sell its water across the West.

Because of drought and minimal snowmelt, little water is expected to flow into Colorado River basin reservoirs this year, creating a shortage that could lead states such as Arizona, Nevada and Utah to try to buy excess water from San Diego.

It’s not yet clear how interstate transfers of water could occur — likely by Arizona or other states paying San Diego for its Colorado River water rights. Such transfers have never occurred and could require new federal laws or regulations.

As Nasa's Artemis II mission looped the Moon, something important changed back on Earth, says Caitlin Gould.

She is the founder and director of TECgirls, a Cornwall‑based organisation aiming to increase the number of women in technology and engineering.

Gould said children often struggled to believe careers in space genuinely existed for them, but "actually seeing a mission within their lifetime makes them realise this is real".

The organizers of a campaign against shark finning in the European Union have filed a formal complaint against the EU Commission, accusing it of mishandling their case and missing deadlines.

In 2023, the EU banned shark finning for all EU- flagged vessels and all vessels in EU waters. However, loose shark fins can still be legally traded — imported, exported or transited — in European countries.

Worldwide, shark populations have plummeted since the 1970s and they continue to be among the most threatened species on the planet.
