Something rare happened today in Washington. A bipartisan bill was signed into law. The Great American Outdoors Act is the culmination of years of environmental and conservation negotiations. WHAT IT DOESThe first thing this legislation does is create a funding stream to improve National Parks in this country. While visitors have increased 50 percent since 1980, funding has not and it has created a maintenance backlog. Currently, there are around billion dollars worth of repairs needed in America's National Parks. The Great American Outdoors Act sends around billion over the next five years to improve maintenance. PROJECTS EXPECTEDIn Colorado, it means Rocky Mountain National Park will get improved sewage systems; in Montana, Glacier National Park will upgrade their camp grounds; in Arizona, the Grand Canyon will get drinking water pipelines fixed; in the Everglades of Florida, storm-damaged buildings can be repaired; and at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, 100-year-old trail heads will be updated with better parking lots and easier entrances. LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUNDApart from improving the maintenance in America's National Parks, the legislation also, for the first, permanently funds the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Money from that fund goes to improve and protect lands across the country. Revenue comes from oil and gas drilling around the country. 1407

Several industries have been disrupted since the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S., including the food supply chain. From dumped milk to piles of uneaten onions and potatoes, this was just some of the food going to waste on farms across America due to COVID-19-related shutdowns.“Really its impact on the food supply chain started in March,” said Jack Buffington, a supply chain expert currently developing the supply chain program at the University of Denver. “Most of us who have been in the supply chain have never seen an event like this happen.” While farmers were dumping or burying products, food banks were missing out on some much-needed supplies, and dealing with growing demand. So were grocery stores as restaurants were closed and consumer buying habits changed.“More of the retail food market went down and more of the consumer home food market went up,” Buffington explained. “This caused a major shock in the supply chain where you had this situation where some foods were going to waste and some foods were in high demand.”First, the federal government stepped in to help. The USDA was given up to billion through the Coronavirus Assistance Program to buy fresh produce, dairy, and meat from farmers and then distribute that to those in need.And then there were nonprofit organizations like FarmLink.“We matched a farm in Idaho, an onion farm, to or local food bank in Los Angeles,” Max Goldman with FarmLink explained. “We delivered 50,000 pounds of onions to them.” He said that was their proof of concept.Goldman is a student at Brown University. Him and a group of students saw the disruption in the supply chain, and decided to do something about it.“A lot of what we do is finding food that would’ve been sent to the dump,” he said.So, FarmLink was born to help with food waste.“We’ve done two million pounds in seven days,” Goldman said. In just two months, they’ve reallocated four million pounds of food. They pay farmers their cost with donations and grants they receive, and help get the good to food banks. Goldman said the farmers are generally grateful“One of the first farmers we worked with, he said the day he has to dump his food is the worst day of his life. He works all year to basically produce this food and for him to have to a dig a hole in his backyard and just take a dump truck and put all his potatoes and onions or whatever it is, he said it makes him cry and it’s the worst day of his life,” Goldman said. “Even if he lost money on it, he was glad he could send this food to people in need during this time.”So far, they’ve delivered food to approximately 30 states.“This is not a new issue and its been accelerated and made more public due to coronavirus, but every year there’s over 60 billion pounds of food waste,” Goldman said.Buffington said the work of FarmLink and organizations doing similar work is just a drop in the bucket, but it’s promising.“Small in scale of the overall supply chain, but it’s huge in this opportunistic saving of food,” he explained. Buffington sees this type of work as a Band-Aid on the bigger issue, but it could open eyes to solutions down the road.“Supply chains work really well on stability,” Buffington said. “It’s tough to think about innovation which is disruption, when you're worried about a disruption to your current model.”“I think when we pull out of this you’re going to see remarkable opportunities for innovation,” he said.For now, FarmLink and other organizations are working to make sure food doesn’t go to waste. Goldman’s goal is to move over a million pounds of food a day. “We’ve had tens of thousands of people reaching out wanting to help, and that’s just so uplifting and really gives you hope,” Goldman said. 3729

Speaking from Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina on Monday, Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris delivered a remembrance of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and tied the Trump administration's fight to nominate her replacement to the high-stakes 2020 election.During her remarks, Harris urged a Democratic vote in November on the basis of health care, adding that President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, has opposed the Supreme Court decision that upheld the Affordable Care Act. Trump is currently waging a legal battle to undo the law, and while he's promised a replacement plan, his campaign has yet to unveil one.Harris also tied the fight for a Supreme Court nominee to the Voting Rights Act, the fight against climate change and protections for labor unions and increased minimum wage, adding that all could be at risk under a conservative Supreme Court.Harris' remarks took place just over 24 hours before the first presidential debate of the 2020 election cycle.Monday's press event was a rare one for Harris, who has mostly laid low since Biden selected her as his running mate in August. Both Biden and Harris have chosen to mostly steer clear of public events, as recent polls show that the pair continues to hold a lead of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.Harris did not take questions following her remarks. 1406

SpaceX’s test flight of its next-generation Starship rocket was deemed a success, despite a bit of an explosive landing.As part of the launch, SpaceX attempted to perform a “flip landing” of the rocket. Although the flip landing resulted in the rocket blowing up, the finish was not unexpected.“Lot of things need to go right, so maybe 1/3 chance,” SpaceX founder Elon Musk said last month about the odds of the rocket nailing the landing.The rocket’s mission was not to leave Earth’s atmosphere, but to test several parts of the Starship rocket.“This suborbital flight is designed to test a number of objectives, from how the vehicle’s three Raptor engines perform to the overall aerodynamic entry capabilities of the vehicle (including its body flaps) to how the vehicle manages propellant transition. SN8 will also attempt to perform a landing flip maneuver, which would be a first for a vehicle of this size,” SpaceX said before the flight.SpaceX said even if not everything went correctly, there would be plenty to learn from this test to improve on future flights.“With a test such as this, success is not measured by completion of specific objectives but rather how much we can learn, which will inform and improve the probability of success in the future as SpaceX rapidly advances development of Starship,” SpaceX said.Musk deemed aspects of the launch a success.“Successful ascent, switchover to header tanks & precise flap control to landing point!” Musk tweeted.The rocket remained airborne for over six minutes, and it was slated to reach an altitude of 41,000 feet. 1591
