La Ley de Reducción de la Inflación finalmente le dio a los EE. UU. una verdadera política de cambio climático
La Ley de Reducción de la Inflación (IRA) es un proyecto de ley que fue firmado en ley por el presidente de los Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, el 13 de agosto de 2022.

Water: a global public good? Or a waste?
The importance of water care is a recurring theme and water saving campaigns tend to focus on people's everyday activities. However, industries account for approximately 92% of total consumption. More water goes into things than into human consumption. It shows the responsibility for water care rests mainly on the shoulders of the large corporations that run the industries mentioned above and others, not just on individuals' daily decisions. The offshoring of production means that these industries are engaged in plundering developing countries' water. The rich consume, and the poor go without clean water or any water at all.
