A recent Environmental Working Group (EWG) report found that only about 20% (550 out of 2,784) of SPF products met its rigorous safety criteria in 2026. Here's what to look for when choosing the best sunscreen for sun protection.

A record number of dams were dismantled across Europe to restore nature and help wildlife thrive
Last year, a record-breaking 602 dams were removed across Europe, up 11% from the year prior and part of a larger, global trend to restore rivers and allow the surrounding ecosystem and wildlife to thrive.
With 2,324 miles of rivers reconnected through dam removals, the EU is a step closer to its goal of restoring 15,500 miles of rivers to their natural flow by 2030.
Since the first official count in 2020, removals have increased sixfold, with Sweden leading the way at 173, Finland at 143, and Spain at 109. Iceland and North Macedonia removed their first barriers in 2025.
Why is this good news? For centuries, communities around the world used rivers for economic growth, redirecting them to improve navigation or damming them to harness power, but that came at an enormous ecological cost. This massive effort is a critical corrective step in the right direction.
Globally, rates have fallen by more than one-third, with even steeper declines in some regions, such as Central and South Asia, where they dropped by more than three-quarters.
According to the United Nations, birth rates have also decreased among adolescent girls aged 10 to 14, where pregnancy poses even greater health risks.

‘Off Campus’ star Belmont Cameli donated a kidney to a stranger, saving the lives of 7 people in a ‘transplant chain’
In the latest hockey romance to grace the silver screen, 28-year-old actor Belmont Cameli, who plays hockey star Garrett Graham, is seen shirtless on a myriad of occasions, and viewers were quick to notice that the actor has two scars on his abdomen.
They are the result of Cameli’s decision to donate a kidney in 2018. Cameli was tested as a donor after learning his childhood friend needed a transplant, and while he wasn’t a compatible match, he joined a paired kidney exchange program.
He ended up donating his kidney to a stranger and became part of a 14-person transplant chain that saved seven lives, an experience that Cameli said would never leave him.
Why is this good news? More than 90,000 people in the U.S. are currently waiting for a kidney transplant, often waiting years for a “deceased donor kidney,” or becoming too sick before one becomes available. Living donor kidneys also often last longer, work immediately, improve survival, and more.
The largest wind energy project in the U.S. is coming online next month, despite Trump’s attempts to stop it
The SunZia wind project in New Mexico is considered the “largest clean energy installation” in the U.S., capable of powering around 1 million homes every year, and is on track to come online next month.
The project includes a 550-mile transmission line that will help connect wind power to neighboring Arizona, too.
The Trump administration has cut off federal tax incentives and held back permits for renewable energy projects — around 5,000 turbines are on hold for federal approval. This milestone marks a major step in the clean energy transition in the U.S.
Why is this good news? Not only will the size and scale of this project add clean electricity supply, it will also help reduce strain during peak demand times, like when air conditioners run non-stop in the summer, reduce reliance on much dirtier, pricier fossil fuel sources, and help stabilize prices for customers and businesses.
The first gray wolf was detected in Sequoia National Park in more than 100 years
After traveling hundreds of miles across the state in recent months, a gray wolf was detected in Sequoia National Park for the first time in over 100 years.
Gray wolves were “extirpated” from the state in 1924, largely through government-backed programs driven by concerns among locals over livestock losses and perceptions of wolves as threats.
They are now listed as a protected, endangered species under state and federal law, and wolves like the female seen here are considered to be “pioneering individuals” for the species slow reestablishment in California.
What’s the nuance? Communities in Northern California have started raising concerns again about wolf activity, like livestock killings near homes, and some county officials have issued emergency resolutions.
