Look!

Three Indian teenagers have reportedly been awarded the Earth Prize 2026 for developing a tamarind-based powder that can help remove microplastics from water. The innovation has gained attention for its use of a natural and widely available material to address a growing environmental problem linked to plastic pollution.

Microplastics, which are tiny plastic particles found in water sources worldwide, are difficult to filter using conventional methods. The students’ project has been highlighted as an example of youth-driven innovation in environmental science, with discussions focusing on its potential applications in water purification and sustainability efforts if further developed and scaled.

Just in case...

Everyone, stay safe and warm. Big day today. It’s official. Signed at 6:00am. It was even on TV. Mine really turned blue. Don't forget that tomorrow marks the start of the new Facebook rule (also known as Meta), which allows them to use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today!!!

Hold your finger anywhere in this message and “copy” will appear. Click “copy. Then go to your page, create a new post, and place your finger anywhere in the empty field. “Paste” will appear, and click Paste.

This will bypass the system….
