COSTA DA CAPARICA, Portugal (AP) — Sofia Oliveira was 12 years old when catastrophic wildfires in central Portugal killed more than 100 people in 2017. She 'felt it was now or never to raise our voices' as her country appeared to be in the grip of deadly human-caused climate change. Now a university student, Sofia and five other Portuguese young adults and children between 11 and 24 years of age are due on Wednesday at the European Court of Human Rights, where they are accusing 32 European governments of violating their human rights for what they say is a failure to adequately address climate change.

Do you wash clothes without detergents? I've been doing so for nearly a month since summer officially began in early May. In the summer, most of my shirts, both long- and short-sleeved, are "stained" with perspiration, so a fast wash with pure water is all that is required. It's not about costs; detergents are not particularly pricey. It's all about reducing plastic pollution. Many detergents are known to contain microplastics, which are eventually washed into the sea and endanger marine life. In 2019, a group of Columbia University researchers demonstrated the dangers of detergents for environmental health in a well-recognized experiment.
