A single cotton T-shirt requires approximately 2,700 litres of water to produce, the equivalent of one person's drinking water for two and a half years, and the global fashion industry now consumes approximately 79 billion cubic metres of fresh water annually, much of it drawn from regions already f (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The standard version of the fashion water story goes like this. Cotton is a thirsty crop. Growing enough of it to make a single T-shirt requires around 2,700 litres of fresh water — several years’ worth of drinking water for one person. Scale that across billions of garments and the global fashion industry ends up consuming approximately 79 billion cubic metres of water per year, much of it drawn from regions that cannot spare it. The lesson is usually presented as being about cotton, and the im
Between five and six million years ago, the Mediterranean Sea nearly dried out — and when Atlantic water finally broke back in near Gibraltar, one model suggests the basin may have refilled so violently that sea level rose by metres a day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a specific version of the story that has been told many times. Six million years ago, the Mediterranean Sea was disconnected from the Atlantic Ocean. Cut off from its water supply, it evaporated — over hundreds of thousands of years — into a series of hypersaline lakes at the bottom of a basin three to five kilometres deep. Where blue water separates Europe from Africa today, there was salt flat, exposed rock, and the occasional briny lake, all baking under the Mediterranean sun. Then,
Psychology says adults who feel lonely inside a long marriage aren't falling out of love — they're discovering that being known and being tolerated look identical from the inside, and that most people never learn the difference until the house finally goes quiet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a specific loneliness that only married people know. It’s not the loneliness of an empty bed. It’s the loneliness of a full one — lying eight inches from someone who loves you, feeling like a letter that was delivered years ago and never opened. Most people who feel it reach the same frightened conclusion: the love must be dying. But the research on long marriages points somewhere stranger. The love is usually still there. What’s missing is something the marriage may never have had much
In December 1938 a museum curator sifting through a fisherman's catch in a South African port lifted out a heavy blue fish that science had known only from fossils and presumed extinct since the age of the dinosaurs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two days before Christmas, in the port of East London on South Africa’s east coast, a 32-year-old woman took a taxi to the docks to look at a pile of dead fish. Her name was Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer. She was the curator of the East London Museum, a small provincial institution she had been running since she was 24, when she had somehow talked her way into the job despite having no formal scientific training whatsoever. She had a standing arrangement with the local trawler captains: if they net
Cognitive scientists have a name for the experience of suddenly realizing you've been reading a book for several minutes without absorbing any of the words — "mind-wandering" — and recent research suggests humans spend roughly 47 percent of waking life in some version of this state, which means the (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You know the moment. You’re four paragraphs down the page when you surface, like a swimmer coming up for air, and realize you have no idea what you just read. Your eyes did their job. They tracked every line, left to right, dutiful as ever. But the reader had left the building — off somewhere rehearsing tomorrow’s meeting, or re-litigating something you said in 2019 — and the words went through you like light through a window. We treat this as a glitch. A lapse. The exception to normal conscious
