Earth Day destroyed more of America than any environmental catastrophe ever could. Fri Apr 23, 2021
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. Grouches complain that a lot of fake holidays are created by companies, but Earth Day is actually a fake holiday created by a sharp Madison Avenue ad agency, and the name comes to us from the same guy who coined, “Timex: It takes a licking and keeps on ticking . The Earth takes a licking much better than Timex watches, but it’s the job of ad agencies to convince us that consumer products are permanent, while the world is ephemeral.
Brick kilns have proliferated across Bangladesh to supply the growing economy with construction materials, which makes it really hard for regulators to keep up with new kilns that are constructed, said co-lead author Nina Brooks, a postdoctoral associate at the University of Minnesota s Institute for Social Research and Data Innovation who did the research while a PhD student at Stanford.
While previous research has shown the potential to use machine learning and satellite observations for environmental regulation, most studies have focused on wealthy countries with dependable data on industrial locations and activities. To explore the feasibility in developing countries, the Stanford-led research focused on Bangladesh, where government regulators struggle to locate highly pollutive informal brick kilns, let alone enforce rules.

Product designer Caitlin Kalinowski is charging forward as a successful woman in technology and mentor for future generations of female engineers, mathematicians, and scientists. She is determined to change how girls view STEM programs and guide them into the field with a positive, confident mindset.
Women make up only 28% of the workforce in science, technology, engineering, and math, and men outnumber women majoring in most STEM undergraduate majors.
We can teach young women and girls to communicate effectively in STEM environments, so they can achieve the same status as men in the fields. Balancing and diversifying the STEM fields themselves will create cultures that are more welcoming to young women and underrepresented minorities.
