Some glaciers are millions of years old, ancient rivers of ice and snow that carve the landscape as they slowly inch downhill, like in Yosemite Valley. But around the world, they're shrinking at an alarming rate. Celeste Saulo, head of the UN's World Meteorological Organization, says we've lost 9,000 gigatons of glaciers since 1975.
Glaciers act as frozen reservoirs, providing drinking water to millions of people and creating habitats for plants and animals. Many of the world's glaciers will disappear entirely by the end of the century if we don't cut way back on burning fossil fuels. Jacob Fenston, NPR News.
Trump says we're going, quote, back to plastic. On Truth Social, he complained about paper straws that disgustingly dissolve in your mouth. He says the government will no longer buy paper straws or provide them in federal buildings. Activist Jackie Nunez is founder of the Last Plastic Straw campaign.
She says Trump isn't the first to hate on biodegradable paper straws, but she welcomes the renewed spotlight on single-use plastics.
Biden's policy would have phased out the purchasing of single-use plastics by the federal government starting in 2027. Jacob Fenston, NPR News.
