       The red tide kills Tampa fish.

       The deadly red tide has returned to Florida's Tampa Bay killing
       up to 600 tons worth of fish since this past June. In response,
       more than 100 protestors marched along the St. Petersburg
       waterfront this past weekend calling for Republican Gov. Ron
       DeSantis to declare a state of emergency so that Florida can
       allocate the funds to address the mass death of marine life.
       However, DeSantis responded by saying that there is enough
       funding available from the state's Department of Environmental
       Protection without the declaration.
       The reoccurring red tide is caused by an overabundance of the
       algae Karenia brevis naturally occurs in the Gulf of Mexico, but
       is made worse by nutrient pollution. The previous major outbreak
       was in 2018 and this year's bloom may be even worst.
       The true cost of food in the U.S.
  HTML https://www.ecowatch.com/true-cost-of-food-us-2653842839.html
       There is a hidden cost to food in the United States, according
       to a new report that evaluated factors like healthcare costs,
       biodiversity loss, and the direct environmental impacts of
       farming in the country. The report was released by the
       Rockefeller Foundation explains in its report, True Cost of
       Food: Measuring What Matters to Transform the U.S. Food System,
       and analyzes how our current food system is really costing us in
       the long run.
       This was evaluated through 14 metrics including air pollution,
       food insecurity, antimicrobial resistance driven by the
       widespread use of antibiotics in farming, and greenhouse gas
       emissions. Those "externalized costs" amount to at least $2.1
       trillion annually and will be paid for by future generations.
       Sustainable sector means sustainable jobs.

       Jobs in the renewable energy and battery-related sectors have
       been much more resilient throughout the pandemic compared to the
       overall energy sector, according to the DOE's annual report. One
       in 10 U.S. energy workers lost their jobs in 2020 — oil and gas
       sectors lost the most jobs despite the billions in bailouts and
       substantial payouts to already wealthy executives. However, the
       wind energy employment grew by nearly 2% while jobs in the
       electric and hybrid-electric vehicle sectors grew by 8% and 6%.
       And a look at why land runoff is dangerous for water ecosystems.

       With #PlasticFreeJuly upon us, there has been a necessary,
       global focus on curbing plastic pollution and other trash that
       comes from land and often ends up in the sea. Now, in
       partnership with Plastic Oceans International, EcoWatch is
       highlighting the dangers of another land-based source of
       ecological harm: runoff.
       According to the United States Geological Survey, runoff
       naturally occurs after rain falls onto a landscape. The water
       doesn't just sit on top of the ground; some seeps into soils to
       refresh groundwater, but most flows across ecosystems as surface
       runoff. In this way, runoff is an important part of the natural
       water cycle.
