Brewing #tea removes #lead from #water
High surface area of tea leaves means they adsorb toxic metals released by boiling water.
“We’re not suggesting that everyone starts using tea leaves as a water filter,” said author Vinayak Dravid. “Our goal was to measure tea’s ability to adsorb heavy metals. By quantifying this effect, our work highlights the unrecognized potential for tea consumption to passively contribute to reduced #heavymetal exposure in populations worldwide”

The next generation of Bakonzo people will be profoundly impacted by the loss of glaciers. Masereka says: ‘I will tell my son it was very beautiful to have snow on the Rwenzori for our livelihood … it will be unfortunate, but I will encourage him to involve himself in conservation-related activities as an alternative to the snow, which was our resource in our time’

Can’t say “safe drinking water,” climate, vulnerable or methane emissions now in the Agriculture Department. 😑
I wonder if this cuts across agencies. What would I have done to report a methane leak in my apartment years ago? Would the fire department have stayed home?

The New Republic · Agriculture Department Can No Longer Say “Safe Drinking Water”A newly leaked memo reveals an insane ban on words and phrases that the Department of Agriculture can say.

The predictions and news are bad for the Rio Grande Valley and Albuquerque. (Also Las Cruces)

As John Fleck says "We will learn a great deal this year."

=========================================

We are heading into a remarkable year on New Mexico’s Middle Rio Grande. Here are some critical factors:

1. The preliminary April 1 forecast from the NRCS is for 27 percent of median April – July runoff at Otowi, the key measurement gage for New Mexico’s Middle Rio Grande.

2. Current reservoir storage above us is basically nothing.

3. Reclamation’s most recent forecast model runs suggest flow through Albuquerque peaked in February. It usually peaks in May.
