2020 was a year like no other. Besides the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement came to the forefront because of the death of George Floyd. George Floyd’s final words resonated with most of us… ‘I can’t breathe’… These were not only words but a plea to the rogue police officer kneeling on his neck. A plea for life.

I've been participating in a great online series on the historical intersections of economic and environmental thought , organized by Troy Vettese and Julia Nordblad. The organizers write: One would think that environmental history and economic history would be peas in a pod. After all, central questions in the history of economic thought concern environmental issues such as the early-modern enclosures and the importance of water-power and coal to the industrial revolution.

There’s a silent epidemic around us: an organ failure epidemic. Public and private hospitals are teeming with patients both young and old with diverse types of organ complications. But such an increase in health challenges are not without cause and for the most part, we lay the blame on lifestyle. Though plausible, some cases beg for more questions since the patients lead a clean lifestyle free of junk food, intoxication and are in many ways active.

Scientists have long warned that the world’s major rivers and estuaries are hotspots for plastic waste , as trash and microparticles wash down tributaries and congregate before entering oceans. Now, new research has found that as this waste accumulates, aquatic river species like insects and snails are increasingly choosing to settle on plastic rather than natural features like rocks or fallen branches.

I once stumbled upon a sterling article by Dr Festus Mwangi highlighting the plight of children living with cancer. Though it was written in 2017, its message still resonates audibly with me. Not only did he highlight about the increase in instances of childhood cancers but also about the lack of awareness especially among the poorest of the poor. More often than not, parents assume symptoms and dismiss them for minor infections only for the discovery of a tumor to be made when it’s too la

Remember four years ago when newly elected President Trump promised to dramatically reduce Obama-era environmental regulations? President Trump vowed to eliminate two existing regulations for every newly adopted regulation. The Trump Administration argued that Obama era regulations added $1 trillion in additional costs on businesses. However, what President Trump and many in the business community quickly learned is that it is much more difficult to undo regulations once they are on the books.
