We were recently approached at the Rutland Flea Market, with whether or not we had any teas that would be recommended for someone suffering COPD. The day was slow, so Ashley began looking up a few studies online, sent me a couple links, and when we got home, I began my own research. Various compounds found in food, herbs and spices have been observed for their ability to address some aspect of COPD. A few of the herbs are in one or more of the teas we sell on Ashley's Ashtree Wildcrafting table, and we have zeroed in on the specific tea to offer the inquirer when we see them again. COPD is a multi-faceted condition that can begin a number of ways, including smoking or being around smokers, poor long-term dietary choices, age, and bacterial lung infections. The COPD sufferer needs to assess their lifestyle, their environment, and their daily food habits if they want to begin the road to healing.

A toxic divide: EPA ignores international cancer warning about dangerous herbicide! The World Health Organization's cancer research agency has classified the herbicide atrazine as "probably carcinogenic to humans." Despite this international warning, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proceeding with plans to reapprove the pesticide's use. Atrazine, a known hormone disruptor, contaminates the drinking water of approximately 40 million Americans. The chemical is also linked to serious birth defects and fertility problems, and is banned in over 60 countries. Health advocates urge individuals to use certified water filters and choose organic foods to minimize personal exposure. https://newstarget.com/2025-11-29-epa-ignores-international-cancer-warning-on-dangerous-herbicide.html

Carney urges carbon-neutral AI data centres, praises EU carbon pricing at G20 summit! Prime Minister Mark Carney used his platform at the G20 summit in South Africa to urge world leaders to require artificial intelligence data centres to operate as carbon-neutral, in part through the use of carbon credits. Speaking at a working session in Johannesburg, Carney called for the development of standardized, high-integrity carbon markets that would redirect capital flows to regions most impacted by climate change. He said AI infrastructure, given its rapidly expanding energy demands, should be required to account for its environmental footprint. 🇨🇦 #MarkCarneyCantBeTrusted 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #SayingTheQuietPartOutLoud 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #JustSayNoMore 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #CarneyLies 🇨🇦 https://truenorthwire.com/2025/11/carney-urges-carbon-neutral-ai-data-centres-praises-eu-carbon-pricing-at-g20-summit
