Scientists have developed a novel way to recycle toxic waste — extracting gold from old electronics using a byproduct of a staple cuisine in many cultures. Researchers at Switzerland's ETH Zurich announced in a press release that they used "denatured" whey proteins (the watery portion of cheese that separates from curds) to create a sponge to recover gold ions from e-waste.

Similar laws worldwide have led to 75 percent reduction in recycled plastics. The United States generates more than 40 million tons of plastic waste a year, but just 5% of that is recycled. That is about to change. In less than a year Oregon will become the first state in the U.S. to implement a series of laws known as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). The laws fundamentally shift the responsibility for funding recycling systems from local governments to the plastic makers. The law’s fee structures are designed to incentivize producers to make packaging that minimizes waste and environmental impacts and improves recyclability.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
