SF Bar and Gym Owners Get Psyched For Yellow Tier Reopenings This Week
Things aren t going to look radically different in San Francisco after the city enters the Yellow tier this week for the first time since October. But some businesses are going to be popping back open that have been closed for over a year.
As reported earlier, the move into Yellow territory on Tuesday will mean that SF health officials will lift the next set of restrictions on Friday, May 7. The changes include allowing bars to open indoors without food at 25% capacity, and gyms and fitness studios can raise their capacity limits to 50%. All of this means more of a reason for places to reopen that have been on pause since the fall.

Phoenixville might be the cleanest town in the region after more than 220 students of Holy Family School in the Chester County community celebrated Earth Day on Friday, April 23. All grades of the students fanned out from the school in the morning and picked up debris across a 36-block area including Reeves Park, just two blocks from the school. The community cleanup day was the first of its kind for the Catholic regional school, and the activity helped reinforce classroom lessons of care for creation and respect for life.
The Student Council also held a fundraiser the previous day in which students could dress down and donate $1 for Team Trees, an organization that plants one tree for each dollar raised. (Photos by Matthew Gambino)
Cattle-driven clearing continues in Brazil’s Triunfo do Xingu protected area
by Liz Kimbrough on 16 April 2021
Triunfo do Xingu Environmental Protection Area lies in the ecologically rich Xingu Basin in the Brazilian Amazon and spans some 1.7 million hectares (4.2 million acres) an area more than half the size of Belgium.
Despite its protected status, the area has been heavily deforested, losing 476,000 hectares (1.18 million acres) of humid primary forest between 2006 and 2020, according to satellite data from the University of Maryland (UMD), a 32% decrease in total forest cover.
2020 saw the highest amount of forest loss since the creation of the protected area, nearly 70,000 hectares (173,000 acres) an area nearly the size of New York City; preliminary data show clearing of Triunfo do Xingu’s forests has continued into 2021, with “unusually high” levels of deforestation detected the week of March 15.
