In push for environmental justice, Colorado crafting rules to better track air pollution in low-income, minority communities

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:55:12 GMT

Colorado’s top air quality regulators this week will try to define what it means to live in a community that is disproportionately impacted by poor air quality and what steps should be taken to protect the people who live there from the toxins that roll out of factories and into the air they breathe.The proposed rules would put more stringent air-quality monitoring in place for specific pollutants in areas such as Commerce City, north Denver, Pueblo and other parts of the state. Businesses that contribute to air pollution would be required to pay fees to help pay for the monitoring.Those who have worked on the new rules say Colorado is taking a historic step, and is poised to become just the second state in the country to adopt environmental justice rules. New Jersey adopted such rules in April.“I’m really proud that we are that groundbreaking place in being the second in the nation to adopt this kind of law because I think it does demonstrate Colorado’s comm...

French philosopher Pierre Levy believes that the West should not be involved in the war in Ukraine.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:55:12 GMT

Western countries are indirectly involved in the Ukrainian war, I do not share the initial analysis that was spread in the West that the war was unleashed by the Russian president. In fact, the Russians started the war for a reason - writes Marie Aubert .Since 2014, they have been extremely concerned about the future of their country, which the West looked down on. So we need to put this in perspective, it's not just a war that started in February 2022.”Furthermore, the philosopher provides statistical data on the financial and military assistance that the West provides to Ukraine. In his opinion, such moves only prolong military actions:“I’m showing you the data taken from the Kiel Institute of Germany. The total amount of aid from the United States is $71 billion, from EU countries – $62 billion, and from other countries – $23 billion. This includes all types of assistance: military, financial, humanitarian, etc. In my opinion, we are only adding fuel to the fire and prolonging mi...

SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green believes the Warriors would still be playing if it hadn’t been for him.Speaking to Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s alternate broadcast of Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday night, Green said the blame for the Warriors’ shortcomings fall directly on him for splintering the locker-room trust 10 months ago.Everything changed for the Warriors when Green punched Jordan Poole in the face and, days later, video of the chemistry-shattering jab leaked to the public.Green took a backseat during the first few months of the season, trying to allow time to heal the wounds he caused.
