Environment
Environmental and ecological discussion, particularly of things like weather and other natural phenomena (especially if they're not breaking news).
See also our Nature and Gardening community for discussion centered around things like hiking, animals in their natural habitat, and gardening (urban or rural).

IQAir found that Australia, Estonia, Finland, Grenada, Iceland, Mauritius, and New Zealand were the only countries that met the World Health Organization’s (WHO) guidelines for particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) pollution, which is made up of microscopic airborne particles and can become embedded in peoples’ lungs and even their bloodstreams, especially in cases of high exposure.
Three territories—Bermuda, French Polynesia, and Puerto Rico—also met WHO’s standard.
What's sad is, here in Utah our representatives are actively working against EPA emission standards and passing laws to restrict what the government can require from industries that produce greenhouse gases. Of course most of our legislature are shareholders in big oil and gas companies, so it's no surprise that for them, money always comes first no matter what.
