The Cannabis Industry Is Not as Green as You'd Think | Let's Talk Rat Poison
Even as the legal cannabis industry booms, the black market persists with competitive prices and a lack of red tape on its side. As Jodi Helmer reports for JSTOR Daily, illegal growers set up an estimated 14,000 grow sites on federal and private lands in 2018—and that was just in Humboldt County, California.
Illegal cannabis growing operations pose a huge threat to the ecosystems of public forests, Eric Westervelt reports for NPR. Without any sort of regulations, illegal growers can use banned insecticides and other chemicals to shield their crops from pests. Using these substances excessively can have devastating consequences for nearby wildlife and water supply.
At one illegal growing site in California’s Shasta-Trinity National Forest, ecologists and law enforcement agents found evidence of toxicants like Bromethalin, a rat poison, and carbofuran, an insecticide that is banned by the Environmental Protection Agency. Speaking about carbofuran, wildlife ecologist Greta Wengert of the Integral Ecology Research Center (IERC) tells NPR, "It is incredibly toxic. A quarter teaspoon could kill a 600-pound black bear. So obviously just a tiny amount can kill a human. It remains in an ecosystem for a long period of time."

Not even Telemundo could’ve thought of a more twisted and fabulous story, says mitú.
LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world’s largest luxury company, led by Bernard Arnault, founder, chairman and largest shareholder of LVMH, announced on Monday that his proposed acquisition of Tiffany & Co has been accepted. The $16.2 billion deal makes it the largest ever in the luxury sector and represents an increase over LVMH’s opening bid of $14.5 billion.
“Tiffany is an American icon and was on the list of brands for a long time we thought was a good potential match,” Mr. Arnault told the New York Times in a telephone interview from Paris.
“We expect this to be the starting gun for a further round of industry consolidation in the luxury sector over the next 12 to 18 months, with the significant polarization we continue to see between the stronger and weaker brands,” said Swetha Ramachandran, an investment manager at GAM Global Luxury Brands Fund.
The acquisition marks the second major move into the American luxury market by LVMH this year. In a major innovation move, LVMH created a new luxury house Fenty, with Rihanna earlier this year. That major launch was also accompanied by the LVMH announced acquisition of Belmond luxury travel group late in 2018, along with a significant investment in Stella McCartney, that left the designer with majority control. McCartney also became a chief adviser to LVMH on sustainability issues.
Arnault stressed that taking Tiffany & Co into the LVMH family will remove the brand from the stress of Wall Street’s demands for consecutive quarter profits.
“We will focus on building long-term desirability,” he said. “When you are an independent brand listed on the American stock exchange, your goal has to be the next quarter profit. We can free them to have a different state of mind in the company.”
When LVMH bought Belmond late last year, AOC asked if Bernard Arnault will save the elephants. Given Tiffany & Co’s ongoing. commitment to elephant conservation, through superwoman Doutzen Kroes’ Knot On My Planet foundation, we will up the ante on the question. There’s a synergy building here for elephants and Africa, and I have a very good feeling about it. LOEWE, another LVMH luxury brand, is also involved with Doutzen and Knot On My Planet. Watch this space. Belmond is deeply invested in sustainable safaris in Africa. ~ Anne

Tina Barney Captures Amber, Fei Fei, Franci + Tory Burch Holiday 2019
Photographer Tina Barney captures models Amber Valletta, Fei Fei Sun, Franci Santos, Julia Betyakova and Nora Attal for Tory Burch Holiday 2019. If you’re not familiar with Tina Barney’s photography, ArtNet shares an introduction.
“It’s amazing isn’t it, how difficult it can be for a woman or a girl to simply be ambitious?” “The Walking Dead’ and ‘Black Panther’ star Danai Gurira said as she presented designer Tory Burch with her 2019 Glamour Woman of the Year Visionary award on Monday, November 11. “To have her eye on the prize without apology. How many times do we diminish ourselves, our voices, our abilities, even our opportunities, to stay comfortably within the status quo? To not ruffle any feathers or draw attention unto ourselves? How much greatness has been lost through this pervasive type of oppression?”
She continued, “Tory is unapologetic with her brand. The bold way she adorns women with class, flair, and fun all at once, and with the way she is working to leave no woman or girl behind. To popularize feminine ambition. From the millions of dollars she invests in female entrepreneurs to her awareness campaigns, arming people with education on the grotesque gender gap that still exists in so many ways. Tory is a champion for change, using the fruits of her ambition to nurture and empower the ambition of others.”
In her acceptance speech, Tory Burch share a founding story that resonates deeply today. ““When I was first launching the company, I presented my business plan to a group of men; they were the investors. I told them I was going to build a business that focused on purpose. They very concretely said to never mention the words business and social responsibility in the same sentence,” Burch said in her speech. “Of course, that only furthered my resolve. What they called charity work, I called a business plan.” Read the rest of Tory Burch’s speech at Glamour Magazine.
