#panjimchronicles in the ongoing cheap, shoddy + vulgar tarting up of Goa for G20, the latest outrage in Miramar is this hideous giant plastic fish, backed by plastic flags, accompanied by third-rate, grammatically incorrect signs on plastic that end with STOP PLASTIC POLLUTION

Was seduced into trying out @Swiggy #InsanelyGood grocery shopping. Delivered with an insanely heartbreaking amount of packaging, some of it plastic. Never buying again. Shame that a brand I admire(d) chooses to add waste to landfills rather than be sustainable @SwiggyCares

Props to a chat with @amoghavarshajs last month. International schools that have horse riding on their curriculum clearly have big plans for the future. What with Bangaloreโs famed stud farms galloping into the sunset and traffic needing that great big leap. #nuffsaid

The United States shows the way in how #wetlands can be destroyed through a narrow interpretation of environmental regulations. An ominous template that upholds individual rights over collective good https://t.co/WmRTWXHnxf

The justices boosted property rights over concerns about clean water in a ruling in favor of an Idaho couple who sought to build a house in the state's panhandle.

Reposting this ahead of tomorrowโs webinar with @citizenmatters The anatomy of BBMPโs failure to manage lakes is evident from its dismal track record. Healthy wetlands have been turned into eutrophic soup bowls. ๐งต
In @citizenmatters, @bijoyv writes about how BBMPโs โsoup bowlโ lake design may spell doom for one of Bengaluruโs richest urban bird habitats. Pretty, shimmering pools of water may hide a nasty truth: they are dead zones for biodiversity https://t.co/fzZNMGEABs
