Minimizing Mosquito Exposure (without pesticides!)
Mosquito season is upon us yet again! There are some steps you can take to minimize your exposure to mosquitoes without relying on mosquito spray programs. While pesticide spray programs may seem like the best choice, they do pose health and environmental risks even when used as directed. Synthetic pyrethroids can worsen respiratory symptoms, organophosphates are linked to neurodegenerative diseases, and these pesticides are toxic to bees, pollinators, and other beneficial insects (as well as birds, fish, and amphibians - natural predators of mosquitoes!).

The Water Impacts of CO2-EOR
To stave off the worst effects of the climate crisis, the global and U.S. economies need to decarbonize as fast as possible.

The problem is that the only existing market for captured carbon is enhanced oil recovery (CO 2-EOR ). Enhanced recovery is a commonly used form of oil production that involves injecting fluids underground to make oil and gas flow to the surface
