"headTitle": "How Does Electronic Waste Impact the Environment? | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>America tosses out tons of old electronics every year from cell phones, laptops, TVs, and even coffeemakers. Basically, anything that can be plugged in or has a battery can be considered electronic waste, or e-waste, once it is broken or no longer in use. E-waste is tricky to recycle because there are so many different types that all contain a different mix of materials. What many folks don’t know is that a lot of that e-waste contains toxic chemicals, things like lead and mercury, which if they aren’t handled properly can contaminate the environment and cause serious health issues. Join Myles in investigating where our e-waste goes once we get rid of it to answer the question: How does e-waste impact the environment?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>TEACHERS\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Bring \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Above the Noise\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> into your middle or high school classroom with free lesson plans, viewing guides, transcripts, and more for all episodes on \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://ca.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/above-the-noise-collection/\">\u003cb>PBS Learning Media\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is e-waste?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>E-waste is basically anything with a plug or battery that you don’t want or need anymore. It’s your old electronics. Around 6.92 million tons in 2019 alone and a lot of that e-waste contains toxic chemicals, such as lead and mercury, and brominated flame retardants. If those are not handled properly, they can contaminate the environment and cause serious health issues. Smoke from burning e-waste is very toxic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happens to our old electronics? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you take your e-waste to a collection site or recycler, then those electronics are likely taken to a recycling facility and processed there. E-waste is tricky to recycle because there are so many different types that all contain a different mix of materials, some of which is toxic. At a recycling facility, it’s often sorted, and data is deleted from devices. Some devices or components can be refurbished or reused, while others will be processed. This can mean that parts like metals and plastics can be separated out, and then sold to smelters to go back into manufacturing. But, sometimes recyclers end up shipping old electronics overseas to developing countries– where they do not have strict environmental and safety standards. This exposes workers and the environment to those toxic substances, which has created massive environmental and health problems. The World Health Organization estimates that 18 million children work at these dangerous e-waste dump sites around the globe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What should you do with your old electronics? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dropping your electronics off at an e-stewards certified recycler is one of the best ways to ensure your e-waste won’t go overseas and will be handled responsibly. E-steward-certified recyclers have pledged to not ship their stuff overseas, and handle the waste in an environmentally sound way. They have surprise inspections to make sure they are doing so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is a circular economy? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A circular economy is an antithesis of designing for the dump. Instead of extracting raw materials from the earth, making something, and then dumping it when you’re done with it, you would reuse and recycle materials and use those materials in the manufacturing process so that you are generating less waste and extracting fewer raw materials from the earth.

Basically, anything that can be plugged in or has a battery can be considered electronic waste, or e-waste, once it is broken or no longer in use. E-waste is tricky to recycle because there are so many different types that all contain a different mix of materials. What many folks don’t know is that a lot of that e-waste contains toxic chemicals, things like lead and mercury, which if they aren’t handled properly can contaminate the environment and cause serious health issues.

E-waste is tricky to recycle because there are so many different types that all contain a different mix of materials, some of which is toxic. At a recycling facility, it’s often sorted, and data is deleted from devices. Some devices or components can be refurbished or reused, while others will be processed. This can mean that parts like metals and plastics can be separated out, and then sold to smelters to go back into manufacturing. But, sometimes recyclers end up shipping old electronics overseas to developing countries– where they do not have strict environmental and safety standards. This exposes workers and the environment to those toxic substances, which has created massive environmental and health problems. The World Health Organization estimates that 18 million children work at these dangerous e-waste dump sites around the globe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What should you do with your old electronics? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dropping your electronics off at an e-stewards certified recycler is one of the best ways to ensure your e-waste won’t go overseas and will be handled responsibly.

"content": "\u003cp>For most of U.S. history, the military has relied on conscription (a.k.a, the draft) every time there has been a major war. But after massive youth protests during the Vietnam War in the 1970s, the draft was ended. Since then, the U.S. armed forces have had to rely on marketing to entice young people to choose the military after high school. Fast forward to today, and Gen Z isn’t buying. Military recruitment numbers are at the lowest they’ve been in 50 years. There are plenty of reasons for the drop along with plenty of ways the military is trying to boost its numbers, including setting up recruiting centers in high schools and continuing to fund JROTC, a school-based, military-style leadership program. Now we want you to evaluate the evidence, then join the discussion: Should the U.S. military recruit on high school campuses?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>TEACHERS\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Bring \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Above the Noise\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> into your middle or high school classroom with free lesson plans, viewing guides, transcripts, and more for all episodes on \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://ca.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/above-the-noise-collection/\">\u003cb>PBS Learning Media\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Why Is the U.S. military facing a recruitment crisis?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">All branches of the U.S. military except for the Marine Corps failed to meet their recruiting goals for new soldiers in 2022, with the Army having the biggest shortfall (they missed their target by 15,000 – or 25% of their goal) – and so far nobody is predicting any better results in 2023. This is reported to be the worst recruiting crisis since 1973, the height of the Vietnam War. More than 20% of people between the ages of 18 – 25 failed to meet eligibility requirements, and only 9% of people in this age group even report interest in joining the military. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Why is Gen Z rejecting the U.S. military?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most experts agree that the crisis is caused by competition from other jobs that offer good pay and benefits, and Gen Z’s lack of trust in the military as an institution. Much of that lack of trust is caused by greater access to information about sexual assault, racism, homophobia, and a growing lack of interest in the military lifestyle. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How does the U.S. military recruit new soldiers?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For most of U.S. history, the military has relied on mandatory conscription (aka, the “draft”) every time there has been a major war. But youth protests against the Draft reached a peak during the Vietnam War, leading to the end of the draft in 1973. Since then, the military has relied upon an all-voluntary force – which meant they had to double down on marketing and recruiting. Since the 1970s, the military has increased their spending each year on ad campaigns and hiring recruiters across the country. Many of these recruiters visit high school and college campuses, and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 authorized them to collect student data from high schools to do more targeted recruiting. More recently, the military has focused its marketing efforts on social media influencers and e-games to reach more young people.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What is the JROTC and is it a recruiting program?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) calls itself a “character development and citizenship program for youth,” \u003cstrong>not\u003c/strong> a military recruiter. The National Defense Act of 1916 established organized JROTC programs at public and private educational institutions. In 1964, Congress expanded the program to all military services and changed from active duty to shared support from the services and schools. As congressionally mandated by Title 10 United States Code, Section 2031, each military service must have a JROTC program. But the JROTC creates a direct pipeline for enlistment, and their programs are especially prevalent in low-income school districts that serve students of color – and recent reports show that students are often enlisted in JROTC without their express consent. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What does the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child say about recruiting minors for military service?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child added a protocol in 2002 that prohibited military recruitment of minors due to the “need to increase the protection of children from involvement in armed conflict.” Only the United States and Somalia did not sign it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SELECTED SOURCES\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2022/10/02/army-misses-recruiting-goal-by-15000-soldiers/\">Army misses recruiting goal by 15,000 soldiers\u003c/a> (Army Times, Oct. 2022)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://jamrs.defense.gov/Portals/20/Documents/YP51Fall2021PUBLICRELEASEPropensityUpdate.pdf\">Fall 2021 Propensity Update\u003c/a> (U.S. Department of Defense)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture/article/57878/1/the-era-of-military-funded-e-girl-warfare-army-influencers-tiktok\">How E-girl influencers are trying to get Gen Z into the military\u003c/a> (Dazed, Jan. 2023)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.defense.gov/News/Feature-Stories/Story/Article/3244620/military-esports-how-gaming-is-changing-recruitment-morale/\">Military Esports: How Gaming Is Changing Recruitment & Morale\u003c/a> (U.S. Department of Defense, Dec. 2022)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://morningconsult.com/form/gen-z-worldview-tracker/\">How 2020 is Impacting Gen Z’s Worldview\u003c/a>\u003cb> (Morning Consult, June 2020)\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/politics/2020/09/01/military-diversity-army-shows-few-black-officers-top-leadership/3377371001/\">Where are the Black officers?

But after massive youth protests during the Vietnam War in the 1970s, the draft was ended. Since then, the U.S. armed forces have had to rely on marketing to entice young people to choose the military after high school. Fast forward to today, and Gen Z isn’t buying. Military recruitment numbers are at the lowest they’ve been in 50 years. There are plenty of reasons for the drop along with plenty of ways the military is trying to boost its numbers, including setting up recruiting centers in high schools and continuing to fund JROTC, a school-based, military-style leadership program. Now we want you to evaluate the evidence, then join the discussion: Should the U.S. military recruit on high school campuses?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>TEACHERS\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Bring \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Above the Noise\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> into your middle or high school classroom with free lesson plans, viewing guides, transcripts, and more for all episodes on \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://ca.pbslearningmedia.org/collection/above-the-noise-collection/\">\u003cb>PBS Learning Media\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Why Is the U.S. military facing a recruitment crisis?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">All branches of the U.S. military except for the Marine Corps failed to meet their recruiting goals for new soldiers in 2022, with the Army having the biggest shortfall (they missed their target by 15,000 – or 25% of their goal) – and so far nobody is predicting any better results in 2023. This is reported to be the worst recruiting crisis since 1973, the height of the Vietnam War. More than 20% of people between the ages of 18 – 25 failed to meet eligibility requirements, and only 9% of people in this age group even report interest in joining the military. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Why is Gen Z rejecting the U.S. military?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Much of that lack of trust is caused by greater access to information about sexual assault, racism, homophobia, and a growing lack of interest in the military lifestyle. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How does the U.S. military recruit new soldiers?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For most of U.S. history, the military has relied on mandatory conscription (aka, the “draft”) every time there has been a major war. But youth protests against the Draft reached a peak during the Vietnam War, leading to the end of the draft in 1973. Since then, the military has relied upon an all-voluntary force – which meant they had to double down on marketing and recruiting. Since the 1970s, the military has increased their spending each year on ad campaigns and hiring recruiters across the country. Many of these recruiters visit high school and college campuses, and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 authorized them to collect student data from high schools to do more targeted recruiting. More recently, the military has focused its marketing efforts on social media influencers and e-games to reach more young people.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What is the JROTC and is it a recruiting program?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) calls itself a “character development and citizenship program for youth,” \u003cstrong>not\u003c/strong> a military recruiter. The National Defense Act of 1916 established organized JROTC programs at public and private educational institutions. In 1964, Congress expanded the program to all military services and changed from active duty to shared support from the services and schools. As congressionally mandated by Title 10 United States Code, Section 2031, each military service must have a JROTC program. But the JROTC creates a direct pipeline for enlistment, and their programs are especially prevalent in low-income school districts that serve students of color – and recent reports show that students are often enlisted in JROTC without their express consent. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What does the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child say about recruiting minors for military service?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child added a protocol in 2002 that prohibited military recruitment of minors due to the “need to increase the protection of children from involvement in armed conflict.” Only the United States and Somalia did not sign it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SELECTED SOURCES\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2022/10/02/army-misses-recruiting-goal-by-15000-soldiers/\">Army misses recruiting goal by 15,000 soldiers\u003c/a> (Army Times, Oct. 2022)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://jamrs.defense.gov/Portals/20/Documents/YP51Fall2021PUBLICRELEASEPropensityUpdate.pdf\">Fall 2021 Propensity Update\u003c/a> (U.S. Department of Defense)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.dazeddigital.com/life-culture/article/57878/1/the-era-of-military-funded-e-girl-warfare-army-influencers-tiktok\">How E-girl influencers are trying to get Gen Z into the military\u003c/a> (Dazed, Jan. 2023)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.defense.gov/News/Feature-Stories/Story/Article/3244620/military-esports-how-gaming-is-changing-recruitment-morale/\">Military Esports: How Gaming Is Changing Recruitment & Morale\u003c/a> (U.S. Department of Defense, Dec. 2022)\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://morningconsult.com/form/gen-z-worldview-tracker/\">How 2020 is Impacting Gen Z’s Worldview\u003c/a>\u003cb> (Morning Consult, June 2020)\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/politics/2020/09/01/military-diversity-army-shows-few-black-officers-top-leadership/3377371001/\">Where are the Black officers?

Food scientists grab some cells from the animal through a tissue biopsy and then isolate and separate out the specific cells that they want. Then, they immerse those cells in a nutrient broth and that gives them all the nourishment that they need to grow and survive. They’re housed in what’s called the bioreactor. The bioreactor controls all of the environmental conditions to facilitate and promote their growth. So as the cells grow in the bioreactor, they get to larger and larger numbers, and you can achieve almost an infinite number of cells from this process. Then, scientists separate the cells from the broth and form a 3D shape that looks similar to a cut of meat, and that is what you eat on your plate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the point of growing meat in a lab?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a meat problem. We raise BILLIONS of animals every year, and for many of them, the conditions are pretty terrible. And the whole process is a big contributor to climate change in 3 big ways. Number 1 is land use and carbon dioxide. The earth’s surface is mostly water, and only a fraction of the land can be used to grow food. Most of that land is either grazing land for animals or land used to grow food to feed the animals. We’re actually cutting down forests to make more space so we can eat MORE meat. And that’s a problem because trees capture CO2, which is a significant contributor to climate change. So, the more we eat meat, the fewer trees grow, and more CO2 escapes into the atmosphere. Number 2 is fresh water. Raising animals for meat takes a lot of fresh water – and that’s a finite resource. That means we can run out. Pound-for-pound, raising meat takes a lot more water to grow than a non-meat source of protein like soy. Number 3 is greenhouse gasses coming from the animals themselves. They’re constantly emitting carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, both of which contribute to climate change. Cattle are the worst, because, well, cow burps! Each year, a single cow will belch about 220 pounds of methane, which doesn’t stay in the atmosphere as long as CO2, but is much worse when it comes to warming the atmosphere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SOURCES\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>6 Pressing Questions About Beef and Climate Change, Answered\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.wri.org/insights/6-pressing-questions-about-beef-and-climate-change-answered\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">https://www.wri.org/insights/6-pressing-questions-about-beef-and-climate-change-answered\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.wri.org/insights/6-pressing-questions-about-beef-and-climate-change-answered\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This article from the World Resources Institute\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explores the connection between beef production and climate change.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Breakdown of global land use today\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ourworldindata.org/land-use\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">https://ourworldindata.org/land-use\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ourworldindata.org/land-use\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">These series of interactive charts, maps and graphs from Our World in Data\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> help visualize global land use patterns over time.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Fact check: How bad is eating meat for the climate?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-is-eating-meat-bad-for-the-environment/a-63595148\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-is-eating-meat-bad-for-the-environment/a-63595148\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-is-eating-meat-bad-for-the-environment/a-63595148\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This article from Deutsche Welle\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explains how producing and eating meat impacts the environment and climate change.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cultivated meat: Out of the lab, into the frying pan\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/agriculture/our-insights/cultivated-meat-out-of-the-lab-into-the-frying-pan\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/agriculture/our-insights/cultivated-meat-out-of-the-lab-into-the-frying-pan\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/agriculture/our-insights/cultivated-meat-out-of-the-lab-into-the-frying-pan\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This article from Mckinsey and Company\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explores what cultivated meat is, how it is created and the potential impacts it can have on the global food industry.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Beef: The “King” of the Big Water Footprints\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.watercalculator.org/news/articles/beef-king-big-water-footprints/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">https://www.watercalculator.org/news/articles/beef-king-big-water-footprints/\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.watercalculator.org/news/articles/beef-king-big-water-footprints/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">article from Water Footprint Calculator\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explains how meat production impacts water usage and provides detailed calculations showing in what ways water is used.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cows and climate change\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/making-cattle-more-sustainable\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">https://www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/making-cattle-more-sustainable\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/making-cattle-more-sustainable\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This article from UC Davis\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explores how cattle impact climate change and some solutions for decreasing greenhouse gas emissions to be more sustainable.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Each year, a single cow will belch about 220 pounds of methane, which doesn’t stay in the atmosphere as long as CO2, but is much worse when it comes to warming the atmosphere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SOURCES\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>6 Pressing Questions About Beef and Climate Change, Answered\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.wri.org/insights/6-pressing-questions-about-beef-and-climate-change-answered\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">https://www.wri.org/insights/6-pressing-questions-about-beef-and-climate-change-answered\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.wri.org/insights/6-pressing-questions-about-beef-and-climate-change-answered\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This article from the World Resources Institute\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explores the connection between beef production and climate change.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Breakdown of global land use today\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ourworldindata.org/land-use\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">https://ourworldindata.org/land-use\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ourworldindata.org/land-use\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">These series of interactive charts, maps and graphs from Our World in Data\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> help visualize global land use patterns over time.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Fact check: How bad is eating meat for the climate?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-is-eating-meat-bad-for-the-environment/a-63595148\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-is-eating-meat-bad-for-the-environment/a-63595148\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-is-eating-meat-bad-for-the-environment/a-63595148\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This article from Deutsche Welle\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explains how producing and eating meat impacts the environment and climate change.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cultivated meat: Out of the lab, into the frying pan\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/agriculture/our-insights/cultivated-meat-out-of-the-lab-into-the-frying-pan\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/agriculture/our-insights/cultivated-meat-out-of-the-lab-into-the-frying-pan\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/agriculture/our-insights/cultivated-meat-out-of-the-lab-into-the-frying-pan\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This article from Mckinsey and Company\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explores what cultivated meat is, how it is created and the potential impacts it can have on the global food industry.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Beef: The “King” of the Big Water Footprints\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.watercalculator.org/news/articles/beef-king-big-water-footprints/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">https://www.watercalculator.org/news/articles/beef-king-big-water-footprints/\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.watercalculator.org/news/articles/beef-king-big-water-footprints/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">article from Water Footprint Calculator\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explains how meat production impacts water usage and provides detailed calculations showing in what ways water is used.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cows and climate change\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/making-cattle-more-sustainable\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">https://www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/making-cattle-more-sustainable\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/making-cattle-more-sustainable\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This article from UC Davis\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explores how cattle impact climate change and some solutions for decreasing greenhouse gas emissions to be more sustainable.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Eisenhower. He had seen examples in his early career of highways in America, but it wasn’t until WWII when he was Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe that his dream of an interstate highway system really started to take shape. While stationed in Germany he saw how the allies used Germany’s ~Reichsautobahn~ (their high-speed roadway system) to move goods, supplies, and people super efficiently, helping them nearly win the war. His thinking was that Americans need highways to get around, be evacuated in case of an emergency like war, or move supplies in case of a war. So after becoming President, he passed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. By the ’90s there were 45,000 miles of road built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did highways segregate and displace communities of color?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States was still racially segregated at the time of highway expansion. Communities of color were not prioritized when some of these choices of where to place highways were made. Black and white communities were largely divided, and many of the highways were literally built around Black neighborhoods, isolating those communities away from the rest of white America. This also led to displacement as some highways were built right through neighborhoods, tearing down housing and businesses displacing and destroying Black communities as they weren’t protected and considered as politically valuable as wealthier white communities were.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is environmental racism? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that we know how, why, and where the highways were placed, what impact are they having on us today? Environmental racism is racial discrimination in environmental policy decisions. Looking at Oakland and Los Angeles as examples, we see that folks who live closer to highways have higher exposure to the pollution which can cause an array of health problems such as asthma, other respiratory issues, lower life expectancy, and potential developmental delays for children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are potential solutions to highway pollution and displacement? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many cities across the U.S. have removed portions of freeways or have announced studies to look into removing them. One argument that’s always brought up is that removing highways could increase traffic, or commuting would be worse somehow. However, most projects are only talking about removing a portion of a highway– not the entire thing– and typically the highways being proposed for removal aren’t used as heavily as other portions of the highway or are in poor condition. There’s also the question of reparations: how do we compensate the communities most impacted who are still dealing with the effects of highway expansion today? In 2022, President Biden proposed 1.9 billion dollars in grants to fund “Neighborhood Access and Equity” as part of the Inflation Reduction Act to help rebuild communities impacted by highways and infrastructure. While it remains to be seen how this funding will be distributed and implemented, it is considered an important step towards progress by many affected communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SOURCES:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Can Removing Highways Fix America’s Cities?
