And in the end, Indian Express’ Anjali Marar tells us how the monsoon has fared so far in India.

Andrea Jenney and Kyle Chudler are two researchers in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University. To better understand storms and the monsoon season in the West Pacific and the Bay of Bengal, they each took to the seas for a month to collect data. Working on a ship comes with unique challenges but it also lends itself well to discovering new ways to conduct research with personnel across disciplines who have different ways of thinking.

Climate change is now Climate Crisis.
How can we impact the Future?
Listen daily. Share ideas. Small ideas, small actions. Everywhere.

What did we do before plastic?
Today as some UK supermarkets commit to reducing the use of plastic packaging for fruit and vegetables, we discuss what we did before plastic.
And it brings back a memory of a natural version of water wings as well as some research about how this year's monsoon is late and it is causing terrible suffering in India.

Awareness: Research the impact of the change in climate on the delay in the monsoons
Action: Brain storm ideas on what you would do differently without plastic. Then take action on some of those alternatives. What is the policy and plan for your local grocer to move away from plastic?
