From Classroom Project to Statewide Impact: Eniola Shokunbi’s Game-Changing Air Filter Innovation

When Connecticut middle schooler Eniola Shokunbi took on a fifth-grade STEM project, little did she know her innovation would one day impact classrooms across her state—and potentially the entire country.

Eniola designed an air filter capable of removing over 99% of airborne viruses, a feat certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Her groundbreaking invention, which started as a simple school project, has now grown into a solution with monumental implications for public health and education.

A Vision for Cleaner, Safer Classrooms

Thanks to Eniola’s innovation, Connecticut has allocated $11.5 million in funding to launch the Supplemental Air Filtration for Education Program at the University of Connecticut (UConn). The program will use her air filters to improve air quality in classrooms across the state, helping to protect students and teachers from harmful airborne particles.

Eniola’s vision doesn’t stop in Connecticut. She hopes her air filters will one day be adopted nationwide, inspiring broader investment in scientific solutions for children’s health.

The Bigger Picture: Innovation and Inspiration

Eniola’s story is more than just a tale of success—it’s a call to action. It highlights the importance of STEM education and the power of young minds to tackle real-world challenges. Her journey serves as an inspiration to students everywhere, proving that with curiosity, creativity, and determination, even a classroom project can lead to widespread change.

A Brighter Future

As her air filters make their way into schools, Eniola is paving the way for cleaner, healthier learning environments. Her dedication to improving air quality in classrooms is a reminder that innovation has no age limit—and that investing in the ideas of young leaders can lead to extraordinary outcomes.

📢 Stay tuned for updates on Eniola’s progress and the impact of her air filters in schools.

Dive Deep into the UK Methane Action Plan 🌍💨

Hey eco-warriors! 🌿 Today, let's tackle something huge but not often talked about enough: methane emissions and what the UK is doing about it. I’ve just read through the UK Methane Action Plan, and it’s something we need to discuss.

Methane is a major player in climate change, way more potent than CO2, and the UK is stepping up with some serious plans to cut these emissions down. This isn’t just about switching off lights or biking to work. It’s about major shifts in technology, policy, and practices across industries like agriculture, waste management, and energy.

What’s in the Plan?

New tech to manage and reduce methane in ways you wouldn't believe.

Policies that might finally make a dent in these emissions.

Collaborations that could set the stage for global changes.

It's complex, technical, and fascinating—and it matters for everyone, not just policy wonks or scientists!

Why Should You Care? Reducing methane emissions can rapidly slow down global warming. This plan isn’t just a local policy shift; it’s a potential game-changer for global climate action.

Read and React: I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Are these measures enough? What more should be done? Dive into the details with me and let’s get a conversation started.

Check out the full action plan here: https://blog.anaerobic-digestion.com/uk-methane-action-plan/

Let’s spread the word, share insights, and push for more actions like this! 🌎💚

Dear Big Brother

kind of a sequel to this comic

[maeamian]

Part of the reason that Republicans are so desperately acting like they will never lose again is because they are deeply terrified that this is their last real chance to win. The big orange dipshit came in and gutted the party of everyone who wasn't a loyalist, which left it full of nasty little gremlins who have gaping voids where charisma and human decency is supposed to go.

They still hold a lot of power, but if we stop them this year the next presidential election may not be the Most Important One Of Your Life™, that's not a guarantee or anything, but if they don't win here and now their future looks grim, this dipshit is the only guy they have left and he's extremely diminished and has his brains leaking out of his ears at this point. We can beat him into the ground.

So that's what we're gonna fucking do. We're gonna break these fucking fash. They will crash upon us and we're gonna break their fucking necks. When they come for us they will lose because they're fucking losers and we have each other's backs which is something they fundamentally are incapable of comprehending.

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

"A bid to break up Alphabet Inc.’s Google is one of the options being considered by the Justice Department after a landmark court ruling found that the company monopolized the online search market, according to people with knowledge of the deliberations.

The move would be Washington’s first push to dismantle a company for illegal monopolization since unsuccessful efforts to break up Microsoft Corp. two decades ago. Less severe options include forcing Google to share more data with competitors and measures to prevent it from gaining an unfair advantage in AI products, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private conversations.

Regardless, the government will likely seek a ban on the type of exclusive contracts that were at the center of its case against Google. If the Justice Department pushes ahead with a breakup plan, the most likely units for divestment are the Android operating system and Google’s web browser Chrome, said the people. Officials are also looking at trying to force a possible sale of AdWords, the platform the company uses to sell text advertising, one of the people said.

The Justice Department discussions have intensified in the wake of Judge Amit Mehta’s Aug. 5 ruling that Google illegally monopolized the markets of online search and search text ads. Google has said it will appeal that decision, but Mehta has ordered both sides to begin plans for the second phase of the case, which will involve the government’s proposals for restoring competition, including a possible breakup request.

The US plan will need to be accepted by Mehta, who would direct the company to comply. A forced breakup of Google would be the biggest of a US company since AT&T was dismantled in the 1980s."
