(Harrisburg, PA) A new study says getting “back to nature” in farming could help ward off the biggest impacts of climate change. As Pennsylvania faces increasingly extreme weather and biodiversity loss because of climate change, farmers and scientists are adopting resilient practices inspired by nature. Liz Carlisle is co-author of a new study in the science journal Frontiers, and says what is known as “agroecological” farming can create tightly connected cycles of energy, water and nutrients, if farmers can get the resources they need. She says most farms today still rely on fossil fuel-based inputs such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This new approach prioritizes a living, healthy soil and aims to replace non-renewable chemicals with practices that tap into natural ecosystems.

(Pittsburgh, PA) This week, President Joe Biden will be getting ready to sign a bill to give more schools automated external defibrillators. These devices help to bring back a person’s heartbeat when a medical emergency occurs. One of those who needed an AED to save his life was McKees Rocks native Damar Hamlin. Hamlin is one of those who wants this bill to be passed after suffering cardiac arrest during an NFL football game two years ago. Training to provide CPR will also be more available as a result of this bill.
