Clothing repairs are favored by sustainability advocates, but they can be expensive. Beginning in October, the country's government will give a 7 euros, or about $7.79, discount for heel repairs and between €10 and €25 for clothing repairs, Le Monde first reported. Sustainability advocates favor clothing repairs as one way to slow the climate crisis and create a circular economy, in which we reuse existing resources and reduce waste. The organization found that the repairs can be expensive — stains cost an average of $17.34 to remove and other repairs cost up to $34. In April, the government doubled-down on discounts for citizens who repaired their home appliances instead of throwing them away.

The “2030 Agenda does not include any laws or legal instruments including on polluted lands or smart cities. Nonetheless, a Twitter user posted, “FOOD FOR THOUGHT- the laws governing Agenda 2030 land development allow governments to seize polluted land and move their residents into smart cities. Reuters, however, found no mention of smart cities or of governments having the authority to seize polluted lands in the Agenda 2030 document (here). Reuters has previously fact-checked claims that Agenda 2030 is evidence the COVID-19 pandemic was planned (here). Agenda 2030 contains no laws, and nothing in the document permits governments to seize polluted lands and move residents into smart cities.
MEXICO CITY, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador confirmed on Thursday the nomination of Bank of Mexico Deputy Governor Gerardo Esquivel for the presidency of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Latin America's main lending arm. "I promise to do my best in the process of running for the appointment," Esquivel said in a series of tweets on Thursday evening. Esquivel's term at the Bank of Mexico is currently set to end in December, though he could be asked to stay on. The former chief of the IDB, Mauricio Claver-Carone, was sacked in September after an investigation found he had had an intimate relationship with a subordinate.
