In this photo supplied by Greenpeace on Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2020, dolphins lay dead on the shore on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. Other dolphins stranded on shore and appeared seriously ill, environmental consultant Sunil Dowarkasing said. We are seeing these dolphins swim up to the shore in distress and then die, said Dowarkasing, a former member of parliament. The oil spill and sinking of the bow are ruining what had been the best-preserved area of our island, he said. The Japanese bulk carrier MV Wakashio ran aground on a coral reef near the eastern coast of Mauritius on July 25.

(AP Photo/Martin Meissner)BERLIN Germany's parliament was preparing Friday to pass new legislation finalizing the country's long-awaited phase-out of coal as an energy source, over objections from environmental groups the plan is not ambitious enough. Both houses of parliament were to vote on the roadmap that envisions the phase-out of coal between now and 2038. Germany is already phasing out nuclear power and the government envisions greater reliance on renewable energy as well as hydrogen and natural gas in the future. Greenpeace, which planned to protest the parliamentary vote, has said the plan does more to appease the energy companies than to protect the environment.

BRUSSELS The European Commission unveiled plans Wednesday to protect biodiversity across the 27-nation bloc while building a more sustainable food system, insisting on the need to both reduce the use of pesticides and promote organic farming. The commission also wants to plant at least 3 extra billion trees over the next ten years. The use of antimicrobials, which include antibiotics, should also be reduced by 50% for fish and animal farming. The commission also estimates that investing in organic farming will help create 10-20% more jobs per hectare than traditional farming. Farmers alone must not bear the brunt of the costs of further environmental and climate protection," said COPA president Joachim Rukwied.

Google says it will no longer build custom artificial intelligence tools for speeding up oil and gas extraction, separating itself from cloud computing rivals Microsoft and Amazon. A statement from the company Tuesday followed a Greenpeace report that documents how the three tech giants are using AI and computing power to help oil companies find and access oil and gas deposits in the U.S. and around the world. While Google still has a few legacy contracts with oil and gas firms, we welcome this indication from Google that it will no longer build custom solutions for upstream oil and gas extraction, said Elizabeth Jardim, senior corporate campaigner for Greenpeace USA. Google said it will honor all existing contracts with its customers, but didn't specify what companies. Their tools have been deployed to speed up shale extraction, especially from the Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico.

Trends for tots, fashion for mini fashionistas, designer wear for teens, the children's fashion industry is a $200 billion business, outpacing men's and women's wear. Adidas, Burberry and Disney are just a few brands that Greenpeace looked at for children's clothing and found some harmful chemicals that could be affecting your little ones. A survey by the center for environmental health found high lead levels in belts and some shoes, which could lead to high blood pressure and stroke. In 94% of the products, they found chemicals used plastic films, floor coverings, shower curtains, pipes and cables. If you are shopping, look out for words such as antibacterial, moisture-wicking, stain proof, and wrinkle-free as these clothes may be toxic.

Raj K Raj/Hindustan Times/Getty(CNN) - More than 40,000 marathoners are preparing to compete on Sunday in the Indian capital New Delhi, where air pollution has reached dangerous levels. The air quality index, which ranks pollution on a scale of 0 to 500, reached 227 on Friday -- classed as "very unhealthy." According to the World Health Organization, an acceptable air quality index score for humans to breathe regularly is 25. Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal has long campaigned against air pollution, and called the city a "gas chamber" in 2017. He added that he wasn't too concerned about pollution, and that "the air quality is getting worse but it doesn't alarm me."

Protesters were seen holding placards reading "STOP SUV," "SUV not cool" and "we can't replace our lungs." Police reported that around 15,000 people, including many cyclists, took part in the march, according to Reuters. Greenpeace, one of the protest organizers, said that as many as 25,000 people were involved, including around 18,000 cyclists. Along with Greenpeace, many different climate groups were present at the protest, including Friends of the Earth and Extinction Rebellion. "Only about a quarter of the newly introduced vehicles in Frankfurt are pure electric cars."

SARGASSO SEA - Within the Atlantic Ocean is the world's only sea without shores, its borders defined by the currents of the North Atlantic gyre. Read more: Protecting the Antarctic: A journey to a continent in distressThe Sargasso Sea is another place where few humans venture. Greenpeace scientists say they found "extreme" concentrations of microplastic pollution in the Sargasso Sea, although they are still reviewing their findings. A study off the shore of Bermuda back in the early 1970s found 3,500 pieces of plastic per square kilometer. The key to tackling ocean plastic is to stop it getting there in the first place, but the solution doesn't just lie with recycling.

(CNN) - Fed up about worsening air pollution in the Indonesian capital, a group of Jakarta residents is suing the country's president. But Bondan Andriyanu, a climate and energy campaigner for Greenpeace Indonesia, said air pollution has been steadily worsening. The Indonesian capital had the worst air pollution in Asia on June 14, higher than any pollution black spots in China and India, Greenpeace said. On that day, Jakarta's air quality rated 189, according to the US Air Quality Index, which is considered "unhealthy." It is also (a) human rights violation because air pollution is a silent killer," she said.
