Achieving holistic sustainability through food systems

Published Sun, 02 Mar 2025 22:54:22 GMT

If there is one thing that recent years have made evident, from COVID-19 to climate change, it is that people and the environment are interconnected and constantly impacting one another, writes Azis Armand.There are many ways that we can choose to restore the health of our planet, and although phasing out fossil fuels should undoubtedly be a principal mechanism, it is only one of the many strategies that must be employed. Another vital and direct impact we can have in strengthening our ecosystem is through resilient and sustainable food systems.Food systems are both a major cause of climate change—accounting for a third of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions— and extremely fragile in the face of natural disasters.

New ‘turbo roundabout’ south of San Jose is only the second of its kind in the U.S.

Published Sun, 02 Mar 2025 22:54:22 GMT

In the coming months, drivers in San Benito County will face a traffic pattern unlike anything else in the state: a three-lane rotary shaped like a stunted ninja star. This is only the second time the new design, called a turbo roundabout, is being implemented in the U.S. But if it meets its goal of reducing accidents at a crossroads with a history of harmful crashes, drivers across the country could be seeing more of them.The intersection of highways 25 and 156 near Hollister has been notoriously dangerous — the site of more than twice as many accidents as similar intersections in the state, resulting in multiple injuries. In particular, there have been an unusual number of rear-impact and T-bone collisions there.Caltrans had previously attempted several small fixes, such as changing the timing on the traffic signals and adding rumble strips going up to the signal. But after these failed to resolve the problems, the agency opted to create a special roundabout.Caltrans is constructi...
