An MCU rumor has revealed the first plot details from Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Kang actor Jonathan Majors is in for a crazy ride as he goes up against the Avengers. The Multiversal doomsday clock just moved one minute closer to midnight as the climax of Phase 4 with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever just took the MCU even closer toward Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. With the debut of He Who Remains, Loki offered a glimpse of just what the Avengers would be going up against in their next world-saving mission, and there will soon be another taste of that to come....

But what will be the biggest project to be showcased?...

From bags to boxes to old wicker baskets, TH readers have weighed in on this surprisingly spirited debate. Grocery shopping is a highly personal activity. Everyone has their own (strong!) opinions on how to transport food from the store to their home, which is why, when I wrote about how I like to use grocery boxes instead of bags, there were lots of great comments from readers on TreeHugger’s Facebook page....

In 2015, California was once more taking stock of its water supply, coming out of the winter season in its fourth year of drought.

However, the proportion classified as under exceptional drought conditions leaped from 22% to 40%. Much of the worst hit area is in the Central Valley, where the dominant land use is irrigation-dependent agriculture....

Reldania By and Byg is one very strange heritage preservation organization. The Danish foundation manages a portfolio of important historic buildings, but also invests in new ones, which have “a significant experimental character with respect to architecture, technology, or location.” In Nyborg they have built six MiniCO2 houses, © Realdania “The impetus has been to demonstrate five extreme ways to reduce the CO2 footprint in five different houses, as a basis for developing the sixth house; a single-family Mini- CO2 standard house, combining all the lessons learned....

Marvel Games surprised everyone when it revealed plans for Midnight Suns. Right out of the gate, it made itself clear as to why it’s a unique experience. For one, it is set to be a mix of X-Com-type strategies mixed with card combat. Secondly, the entire story is original, as is the villain behind it all: the demon Lilith.

The MCU is continually proving itself to be one of the most unique franchises in the business due to not only its interconnected storytelling but also how many adventures help build that interconnectivity. After all, this is very the saga that released the vastly different WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier as back-to-back entries just to kick-off 2021. This trend is continuing with Phase 4’s movies as well with four widely contrasting entries coming in the last six months of the year, one of those being the highly-discussed Eternals in November....

Biodiversity is a term biologists and ecologists use to describe natural biotic variety. The numbers of animal and plant species plus the richness of gene pools and living ecosystems all make for sustained, healthy, and diverse ecosystems. Plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates, bacteria, and fungi all live together with non-living elements like soil, water, and air to make a functioning ecosystem. A healthy tropical rainforest is the world’s most spectacular example of a living, functioning ecosystem and the ultimate example of biodiversity....

What’s the best approach for dealing with this? A recent post, ‘If you’re going to live a one tonne lifestyle, it’s easier in a Passivhaus’, was inspired by a discussion about air quality: Should we be sealing ourselves up in airtight buildings? It used to be that one would open the windows to get fresh air. Doctors demanded it when I was a baby, but things have changed. Air quality was getting better for decades after industry cleaned up its act or moved to China, coal furnaces were converted to gas and people stopped smoking....

Being able to jump is a hugely advantageous skill out in the wilds of nature. Being able to quickly propel yourself into the air means you can jump away from something that’s trying to eat you or towards something you’re trying to eat. Kangaroos use jumping as their primary way of getting around, while cats use it to pounce on their prey. In the insect world, some species have evolved remarkable abilities to accurately hurl themselves vast distances....
