Hundreds of farmworkers and their supporters are in New York City for Wendy's shareholder meeting, demanding improved working conditions for tomato pickers. Organized by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), the Fair Food campaign, featuring organizer Gerardo Reyes-Chavez, advocates for better wages and workers' rights.

This initiative follows a White House-recognized Social Responsibility Program, which McDonald's, Subway, Burger King, and Taco Bell have already joined. These companies pay an extra penny per pound of tomatoes to raise wages and commit to sourcing from farms that respect workers' rights.

Scientists recently discovered bats, like Tuvan throat singers and death-metal vocalists, produce sound using ventricular folds instead of vocal cords. A Danish biologist found bats use these for low-frequency calls. With their ability to also make extremely high-pitched calls, bats possess an unparalleled vocal range. The Center for Biological Diversity argues this makes them more akin to grindcore vocalists, who utilize both very low and very high frequencies.

The Center for Biological Diversity, a 501c3 nonprofit, works to secure a future for all species through science, law, and creative media. Check out our video to hear biodiversity-loving grindcore artists and see brutally cute bats. Learn more at biologicaldiversity.org or email us at center@biologicaldiversity.org.

Karl-Henrik Robèrt, a Swedish cancer scientist and leading figure in the global sustainability movement, developed the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development, also known as The Natural Step Framework. This framework provides a scientific approach to implementing sustainability, offering the "missing piece" for effective action.

Arising from extensive consultations across diverse sectors, the framework outlines system conditions for sustainability. Robèrt, an internationally renowned change agent and Blue Planet Prize laureate, even secured the imprimatur of the King of Sweden. You can download a picture book explaining this concept here.
