Mass burial for Philippines floods victims - BBC
A mass burial has been organised in the Philippines for scores of people killed by flash floods on the southern island of Mindanao. Health officials in the city of Iligan say unclaimed bodies are being buried after being marked for possible future identification.
Coastal communities were devastated early on Saturday in flash floods triggered by a tropical storm. More than 650 people were killed and another 800 people are still missing. Damaged roads are hampering efforts to reach survivors in remote villages.
Officials in Iligan said they were preparing to bury unclaimed bodies in a mass grave as early as Monday because of their advanced state of decomposition.

Aling pag-ibig pa ang hihigit kaya
sa pagka-dalisay at pagka-dakila
gaya ng pag-ibig sa tinubuang lupa?
Alin pag-ibig pa? Wala na nga, wala.Ulit-ulitin mang basahin ng isip
at isa-isahing talastasing pilit
ang salita’t buhay na limbag at titik
ng isang katauhan ito’y namamasid.Banal na…

Photoset reblogged from Climate Adaptation
The Cuyahoga River, in Ohio, caught fire dozens of times over a 100 year time period, from 1868 to 1969. Before environmental regulations were signed into law in the 1970s, the oil and gas, chemical, metal, and mining industries dumped toxic waste into the river for decades and decades. Worse, over 35 cities directly dumped sewage into the river for hundreds of years.
So toxic was the Cuyahoga that it caught on fire countless times to the point it became a joke. The river flowed into Lake Erie, taking toxins and death with it. Nothing could survive in the river, and was considered “legally dead” by the time Nixon signed the EPA into law.
