Canadian wildfires are generating hazardous smoke, drifting across the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. These tiny particles pose serious health risks to the lungs, heart, and brain. Climate change is exacerbating the situation, with unpredictable weather, ice storms, and drought fueling the fires, which have already released 17 million tons of CO2.

Experts Paul Beckwith and Patrick Hogan explain this worsening air quality as a critical symptom of the climate crisis. When smoke reached Washington D.C., legislators experienced firsthand the effects, reminiscent of the 1930s Dustbowl. The key question is whether this event will finally prompt significant action.

Consumer sentiment had shifted away from disposable packaging, especially single-use plastics, until COVID-19 prompted a resurgence. Many assume single-use items are safer due to virus survival on surfaces, but this isn't necessarily true.

For Plastic-Free July, we'll examine a circular model offering a hygienic alternative to single-use. Join 3BL Media, Loop's Anthony Rossi, and UPS's Patrick Browne on July 22 at 2 p.m. ET. We'll discuss Loop's "21st-century milkman" approach during COVID-19 and how circular systems can prevent a backslide on plastic waste.

Dr. Lindsay Murray's talk highlights climate change's impact on wildlife, driven by human activity. Using the 'anthropause' as a catalyst, she encourages a call to action for greener, wilder, and more respectful co-existence with nature for shared benefit.

Dr. Murray, a Senior Lecturer in Animal Psychology, researches primatology (personality, social behaviour, self-recognition) and broader animal behaviour, such as elephant grief and brown bear ecotourism. She serves on the Primate Society of Great Britain Council and the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour Education Committee, and is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

This talk was presented at an independently organized TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

On June 21, 2017, the summer solstice and National Aboriginal Day, Turtle Lodge Elders and representatives from the Original Nations lit a sacred fire at Manitou Api. The flame was brought to Winnipeg, where Elder Dave Courchene lit the Centennial Flame at the Manitoba Legislative Building. It will burn for one year, inspiring the province and nation.

This sacred flame launched the 2017 Canada Games torch run in Manitoba and later lit the Games' cauldron.

A video for the Canada Games was created by Patrick Roberge, PRP Inc. Acknowledgements go to the Elders for their vision and to Barry Mathers for his hard work with the Canada Games and Turtle Lodge.

The question of how butterflies survive Australia's massive bushfires was answered in part by Julie Favell. Near Long Swamp in Lithgow, while putting out water for fire-affected wildlife, she witnessed common brown butterflies (Heteronympha merope) fluttering inside a moist wombat hole.

This observation suggests that natural underground shelters, offering damp and cooler conditions, provide vital refuge for some species during intense infernos.
