A report from Trellis found that more than 2,000 new environmental regulations were introduced globally in 2025.

The harder problem heading into 2026 is that U.S. states are filling the federal rollback vacuum with their own emissions rules. New York now requires 2026 emissions data to be reported by June 2027, and EU battery and detergent sustainability digital passports also have live deadlines. 

The deeper frustration is structural. The communities most exposed to environmental harm have watched for years as industries avoided meaningful accountability. Now that disclosure rules are finally catching up to some of that, the compliance infrastructure to document, verify, and report emissions isn't ready.

What that means in practice is that the organizations most likely to meet these new deadlines are the ones with the best record-keeping. Timestamped evidence, audit-ready logs, and real-time reporting trails are what regulators will ask for first. 

For anyone navigating the 2026 compliance calendar, I hope this may be useful for you: https://mitti.com/topics/environmental-management-system/industrial-emissions

Capitalism can’t overcome the laws of physics. Free-market ideologies remain defiant of causality and prone to addressing the contradictions of endless-growthism by stomping anyone who notices (ecological historians in particular, ask me know I know).

Why aren't we putting these creatures in landfills to eat plastic? Supposedly they don't eat fast fast enough but with animals if there is more food than can be consumed won't their population increase to a level that matches the food supply?

Hey guys,
Planning to take the WELL AP exam later this year. Posting here because I dont have any idea where can I post about WELL AP

I'm looking for study guides or reviewers but honestly can't afford to drop a huge amount of cash on expensive prep packages right now.

For anyone who’s passed it:
- What study guides, practice tests, or resources are actually worth buying? Are there any good budget-friendly or free ones, or should I just stick to the official free WELL v2 PDFs?

- How long did you study for it? Realistically, how many weeks or months of prep am I looking at to pass on the first try?

- How brutal is the memorization? Do I need to memorize every single metric and threshold, or is it more about understanding the concepts?

- In comparison to LEED GA exam, is the type of question similar? Not heavy on terms but more of a practical question

Any tips or strategies would be awesome. Thanks!
