As an effort to go beyond publishing a traditional photo book, photographer, Kadir Van Lohuizen’s goal is to bring more awareness to the water crisis and depict what Henk Ovink, calls “the fine line between the power of nature and human hope.” 1/ wired.trib.al/J7P4HYo
With the melting ice caps in Greenland as the catalyst for rising waters and the aftermath of their destruction, coupled with the complacency of governments, people around the world struggle in unlivable conditions. 2/
The city of Jakarta is sinking at a rate between 15 and 25 centimeters a year and floods during high tides. Residents use sandbags in the hopes of preventing the water from coming into their houses.

Cleaning can sometimes feel like a waste of time, but it should never be a waste of resources. Here’s a list of our favorite eco-friendly cleaning products. If you buy something using our links, WIRED may earn a commission. wired.trib.al/Sxq4p38 1/
Our top pick is Supernatural. Might be a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. The products smell amazing—like fresh botanicals, not artificial or chemical like other cleaning solutions. The bottles are made of glass and the nozzles don't clog. wired.trib.al/XHbfpsW 2/
Ditch the paper towels. Marley's Monsters Unpaper Towels are the way to go. These bright cotton flannel towels are durable and really absorbent. Much like paper alternatives, you can roll them up on a cardboard tube. wired.trib.al/vKFSbHR 3/

In fact, the Taylor ice cream machines inside McDonald’s are infamous for being constantly out of order. According to stats collected by the website McBroken.com, between 5% and 16% of all US McDonald’s ice cream machines are offline at any given time 3/

In 2019, @LaurenGoode canceled her wedding and ended an eight-year relationship. But the painful decisions didn’t end there: As an avid user of technology, she found that it was impossible to escape the digital remnants of the relationship 1/ wired.trib.al/Mr98Ziw
For months afterwards, Goode saw wedding-related ads, anniversary reminders, and photo memories of her ex on all of her devices. Pinterest continued to suggest collages of wedding paraphernalia. Even her Apple Watch would surface painful memories. 2/
Pinterest has an internal name for this: “The miscarriage problem.” Algorithms show people more of the content they’ve searched for, but don’t always take into account when a life event ends—when the wedding is canceled, when the baby isn’t born, or when someone passes away. 3/
