Reply to Lab-grown retinal eye cells make successful connections, open door for clinical trials to treat blindness by chrisdh79
This is huge news for me. I lost sight in my eye at 15 from a detached retina and this gives me hope.

Maybe we shouldn't put TOO much weight on the phrase "successfully made connections"...
But yeah, it sounds good.

Reply to Earth’s ozone layer on course to be healed within decades, UN report finds by bastienleblack
Looked at the graph of ozone healing over time, it's pretty impressive. It took 20 years to U-turn the dip starting fro 2000, but now the progress is pointing to a linear healing. By 2040 you'll start getting a thin membrane on the hole that is a huge leap in improvement.

Very technically it was designed for reuse. It was created for the armed forces to be able to carry lightweight utensils. But, of course, you are correct that as it currently exists, the quality is too poor for durable reuse.

In college, I worked in a lab researching several forms of degenerative blindness. Hearing how this area of research has continued to progress is always heartening!

Plastic bags aren't banned here so you're fine.
Nor am I advocating a complete ban on all plastics.
Nor is this a choice between you surviving financially and the world using less plastic.
Honestly, that's a whole other discussion on its own, from the fact that pollution is becoming an increasing cost to society through climate change, illnesses and whatnot, and addressing all that costs money, not addressing it even more. To how to make that transition affordable for everyone, if we even can etc... and that's a discussion I just don't fancy delving into atm.
When buying a roll of plastic bags breaks your bank there's another issue at play, and that too needs addressing. And we can do multiple things at the same time, but it too often gets bogged down by populist nonsense.
My main point is that we only get to live for a brief while and enjoy this planet, why make it shorter by polluting? And can we at least not leave the place behind cleanly? So the next poor sod that comes along at least has fresh air to breathe and some birds and trees to look at?

Looks like we can stop throwing soup at paintings and blocking rush hour traffic guys. Good job. We did it.

Great news, probably going to make a lot of blind people upset, though.
