The Meta CEO's private plane made 28 trips in less than two months, flight data shows. In 28 trips between August 20 and October 15, Zuckerberg's plane released more than 253 tons of carbon, data compiled by Fox News showed. By comparison, the average American has an annual carbon footprint of 16 tons, according to environmental non-profit The Nature Conservancy. Sweeney previously declined $5,000 from Elon Musk to stop tracking his private jet. Musician Taylor Swift has also drawn criticism for her frequent use of private jet travel.
☆ California's drought withers tomatoes, pushing grocery prices higher

That has added pressure to grocery prices, putting a squeeze on wallets with no end in sight. California's drought conditions, on top of Hurricane Ian ravaging citrus and tomato crops in Florida, are likely to push food costs even higher. Cameron also grows processing tomatoes, onions, garlic and more than a dozen other crops near Fresno, California. The most recent drought in California began in 2020, worsening when California's Central Valley faced its driest January and February in recorded history. Cameron said tomato prices face a similar hike, resulting in a 50% increase in cost to canners and processors from 2021 to 2023.
☆ Barbados issues world's first pandemic-protected bond
  + stars: | 2022-09-21 | by ( Marc Jones | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Barbados' new bond - finalised in a deal with bankers on Wednesday - is likely to leave an even bigger imprint, especially with smaller, tourism-dependent countries that were pushed to the brink of economic collapse during the COVID-19 pandemic. "And hence we would not be facing the kind of debt crises that many countries are about to face". Credit Suisse banker Ramzi Issa, who led on some of the key financing aspects on the bond deal which involved a buyback, said it was "hugely significant". "It is like a dose of vaccine for your debt," said Sui-Jim Ho, a partner at Cleary Gottlieb - the law firm that helped craft the clause for Barbados. The bond deal has an ecological feature too.

Sustainability leaders from Walmart, JUST Capital, Dow, Honeywell, Cognizant, Deloitte, Bank of America, AB InBev, and Carlyle participated. If you're just looking for a science partner, you're going to go and get the science. So then we started building debriefs for our portfolio companies, actually making them sit down and have a conversation with us. Because as long as you do it with integrity, you're going to probably get to the right place. I remember him saying when we talked about the idea, "what you're trying to achieve with that, is somewhere between really, really, really, really hard and impossible."

Jeff Bezos, cel mai bogat om din lume, a donat primele 791 000 000 de dolari pentru luptă împotriva schimbărilor climatericeFondatorul Amazon, Jeff Bezos, a anunțat anterior că intenționează să doneze suma de 10 miliarde de dolari în lupta împotriva schimbărilor climaterice. La începutul anului Bezos a înființat un fond de salvare a Pământului și vrea să atragă și alți bogați ai lumii de partea sa. Despre primele aproape 800 000 000 de dolari donate Bezos a anunțat într-o postare pe pagina sa de Instagram. Astăzi, îmi face plăcere să anunț primii beneficiari ai Fondului Pământ Bezos – 16 organizații care lucrează la soluții inovatoare, ambițioase și cu mișcare de ace. Aceste 791 de milioane de dolari în donații sunt doar începutul angajamentului meu de 10 miliarde de dolari pentru a finanța oameni de știință, activiști, ONG-uri și altele.

☆ Trump’s Taxes Show Chronic Losses and Years of Income Tax Avoidance

With the term “personal taxes,” however, Mr. Garten appears to be conflating income taxes with other federal taxes Mr. Trump has paid — Social Security, Medicare and taxes for his household employees. Fragments of Mr. Trump’s tax returns have leaked out before. Mr. Agalarov’s father, Aras, a billionaire who boasts of close ties to Mr. Putin, was Mr. Trump’s partner in the event. Mr. Trump’s avoidance of income taxes is one of the most striking discoveries in his tax returns, especially given the vast wash of income itemized elsewhere in those filings. When they got to line 56, the one for income taxes due, the amount was the same each year: $750.
