The Agave Rewilding Project

Tequila is conquering the world, but the world is paying a price for it. In Mexico’s tequila-producing territory, trees are cut down, unique archaeological sites are plowed under and for seven years the agaves are bathed in highly toxic pesticides.


Leaf blowers pose unexpected health hazards, especially for Mexicans, studies show

A recently published study by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City indicates that the air and noise pollution from gas leaf blowers (GLBs) seriously impact respiratory health but are also associated with problems such as cancer, heart disease and dementia—and that children, in particular, are highly susceptible to these hazards.
