Excerpt from this story from The Nature Conservancy:
Constructed wetlands are a cost-efficient, long-term, highly effective tool to reduce nutrients exiting fields that could otherwise affect local waterways. A relatively small wetland, around 6% of the tile-drained agricultural area, can reduce nitrogen by nearly 50%. If applied at scale, this approach could help address excess nutrients from farms throughout the Midwest. These types of wetlands are one of many "edge of field" and in-field practices that farms can deploy to support conservation.
"The wetlands do work really well,” says Maria Lemke, TNC’s director of conservation science for Illinois and the lead scientist on the study. “They’re effective over the long term and relatively low maintenance.” Her team found that installing wetlands on the borders of fields reduced both nitrate nitrogen and dissolved phosphorus runoff, significantly improving water quality flowing into downstream stream and river systems.

The Nitrate War, or The Saltpeter War between Chile and Bolivia took place in 1879-1883 over an island on the coast where seabirds roosted and excreted, and sodium nitrate mines in the Atacama region of Chile. The war was settled with Chile gaining most of its demands for mine access in exchange for Boliva building a railroad from La Paz to Chile's port of Arica.
However, the victory was short-lived when chemical engineers synthesized nitrogen during WWI.
"The significance of this discovery was as profound as the ability to smelt aluminum from bauxite, because it facilitated the industrialization of fertilizers at an unprecedented rate. ... The synthesis of ammonia allowed humanity's burgeoning population to become even more ravenous eaters and trigger-happy warriors. It would be fair to say that the chemical synthesis of ammonia was more consequential for humanity than the invention of the airplane, the television, or nuclear energy. Without food productivity reaching such unprecedented levels, worldwide population growth from 1.6 billion individuals in 1900 to over 6 billion today would have been unthinkable. The movement away from mined nitrates to manufactured ammonia was a pivotal point that tipped us over into the age of plenty."
Treasures of the Earth, Saleem H. Ali - pg 101
#I knew about the saltpeter war but completely forgot that Nitrates were/are used for fertilizer as well. AND they're the reason#humans managed to kill each other so well during WWI and WWII. If you don't have nitrates you don't have guns.#All of history from ~1450 to 1917 was shaped by who had access to Nitrates and when.#mining#nitrates#chemistry

Water is the most critical resource issue of our lifetime and our children's lifetime. The health of our waters is the principal measure of how we live on the land.”
Luna Leopold
The RSBP, that most gentle and respected of UK wildlife organisations, was so incensed by the governments breaking of its pledge not to weaken environmental protections, that it issued the above photograph and caption.
The governments decision to allow building developers (one of the biggest Conservative Party's donors) to pollute our already ailing waterways with extra phosphates and nitrates so incensed the RSPB that they issued the above photograph and caption saying:
"You said you wouldn’t weaken environmental protections. And yet that’s just what you are doing. You lie, and you lie, and you lie again. And we’ve had enough."
This has exposed them to serious political attack. Tory MP Mark Jenkinson claimed the RSPB was entering the political arena and called for the Charity Commission to strip it of its charity status. These cries were echoed in the Express that stated:
“Tories slam RSPB charity over housebuilding row as MPs call for charity status to go.” (Express: 30/08/230
Needless to say the RSPB, having come under such heavy criticism and threat, felt the need to offer an apology for its earlier post saying its "frustration” had led it “to attack the people not the policy”.
This raises two important issues.
Should, and are, charities allowed to "enter the political arena” in areas that concern their charitable wok?
The answer is a resounding YES. The governments own paper, “Political activity and campaigning by charities” states:
“Charities can take part in political activity that supports their purpose and is in their best interests.”(2022)
2. Can you attack a policy without attacking the people who drew it up?
Well, of course you can but policies do not write themselves. Political policies have sponsors, they have authors, and they have approval and enactment by politicians. If these politicians can no longer be named and shamed then this is another blow to our ever-diminishing democracy.
A government that is so weak and insecure that it feels the need to threaten the UK’s leading bird charity with extinction is a government in serious moral decline and one not fit for purpose.

Smorgasbord Health Column 2023 – Blood Pressure – Part Two – Nitrate and Potassium foods and wholegrains -Get your blood flowing by Sally Cronin
This week Sally would like to share the other nutrients that keep our blood vessels supple so that our blood flows freely around the body carrying nutrients and oxygen where they need to be.
As we get older we tend to start taking foods out of our diet rather than adding them in. Food is not just to satisfy our hunger pangs or our cravings. The right foods containing the correct balance of…

Bacon, Nitrites, and Nitrates
Bacon, Nitrites, and Nitrates
FIRST, A CONFESSION: I LOVE BACON. I don’t love that I eat other animals or that I may be increasing my cancer risk. So I eat it in moderation, preferably nitrate-free. (Don’t get me going on how not everyone has access to such products or can afford them.) Today we look at additives (nitrates and nitrites) to foods such as bacon.
This week, France announced that it intends to cut the use of…

Finally got a fancy(tm) pic of my aquarium - think I figured out the solution to awful photos is just I have to do them at night because the hugeass window in my room directly adjacent ruins everything. Going to try and take a pic like this weekly to track growth!
Anyway it's looking close? Closeish? to being cycled so the question is: WHAT COLOUR SHRIMP
#kerytalk#fish nonsense#planted tank#aquablr#fishblr#cherry shrimp or neocaridina is what I'm looking for#I just don't think I'd like reds. Or yellow#also rip I found the underground shrimp trading groups (complicated) and went from not finding any Caridina to so many#DO NOT TEMPT ME! I KNOW THEY'RE MORE SENSITIVE#they look bomb af tho rip#I do prefer them over Neos#idk how close is close but ammonia is 0.2 nitrites 0.0 and nitrates 20ppm#been sitting at that for a hot minute tho so not sure what's happening#dosing with bacteria and a fertiliser (both seachem) daily#things I've read saying as long as I have nitrates it means something is being converted so yay? it's def not in our tap water I tested
