NYTimes New Year's Eve https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/26/arts/music/new-years-eve-concerts-comedy.htmlThe holidays are a peak time for waste. Here's how to deal with it.
If we had to make any predictions about the state of your home’s cleanliness at the moment, we’d guess that it’s probably in a somewhat dismal state, with wrapping paper, greeting cards, and half-eaten holiday cookies strewn everywhere.
At least, that’s probably what your home looks like if you belong to the average American household, a cohort that dumps an additional one million tons of waste per week in landfills during the holiday season, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In the weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, the EPA estimates that the waste produced by American households increases by more than 25 percent.

NYTimes New Year's Eve https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/18/climate/nyt-climate-newsletter-holiday-movies.htmlThese species went extinct in 2019
The creatures that went extinct or likely went extinct in 2019 are as follows:
1. The Hawaiian snail Achatinella apexfulva: The last known member of its species, “George” died in a tank in a Hawaiian lab on New Year’s Day. The species is likely extinct, said David Sischo, the snail extinction prevention program coordinator at the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources.
“I’ve been scouring the mountains trying to find more,” said Sischo. “People have been looking for them for well over 20 years.”
Like many native Hawaiian snails, Achatinella apexfulva died out because decades ago the Hawaii State Department of Agriculture intentionally introduced an invasive species (rosy wolfsnail) to exterminate another introduced invasive species. The plan had an unintended fallout: The out-of-control wolfsnails ate up Achatinella apexfulva. Read more…More about Science, Conservation, Extinction, Best Worst Of 2019, and Science
