Thousands of people, and their dogs, have donated hair to help clean up Lake Maracaibo. Environmentalists will weave nets out of the hair to stop the oil slicks from spreading. Now, a young environmentalist is trying to change that — by asking volunteers to donate their hair to soak up the oil, The Washington Post reported. AdvertisementAdvertisementEstrach and her team will use the hair to weave nets — called booms — that can both stop oil slicks from spreading and soak up the oil itself. Estrach told the Post that two pounds of hair can soak up between 11 and 17 pounds of oil.

☆ Ukraine's dam collapse is both a fast-moving disaster and a slow-moving ecological catastrophe
  + stars: | 2023-06-11 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Alexander Ermochenko | ReutersThe destruction of the Kakhovka Dam was a fast-moving disaster that is swiftly evolving into a long-term environmental catastrophe affecting drinking water, food supplies and ecosystems reaching into the Black Sea. The Kakhovka Dam was the last in a system of six Soviet-era dams on the river, which flows from Belarus to the Black Sea. When Russian forces seized the Kakhovka Dam, the whole system fell into neglect. Rainbow-colored slicks already coat the murky, placid waters around flooded Kherson, the capital of southern Ukraine's province of the same name. "The canal that supplied our water reservoir has also stopped flowing."

NO KIDDING"You're kidding," Magnussen had said over the team radio when told he was fastest as the red flags were waved. Saturday will be the third such race of the season, with Verstappen winning the two previous ones at Imola and in Austria. Seven-times world champion Hamilton suffered as a result of his team mate's spin and will start the sprint from eighth place. "I will speak to the team and understand what we can do better in those conditions," he said. "I accepted the decision to go on the inters and then I waited for the rain that never came."
