High temperatures and humidity are enveloping the entire state, with areas of the Champlain Valley under an Extreme Heat Warning from 11 a.m. Monday until 8 p.m. on Tuesday. “Heat indexes are going to be anywhere between, say, 95 and 105, with probably some locally higher amounts in some of the valleys,” said Eric Myskowski, a meteorologist at the Burlington National Weather Service office.

Over the last decade or so, scientists on Lake Champlain have noticed a concerning trend: Tiny pieces of plastic are everywhere. Plastic has shown up in nets used for catching zooplankton, the tiny organisms that make up the foundation of the lake’s food web. Plastic fibers have even been found in the guts of the zooplankton themselves — and even more concerningly, in at least 15 species of fish that eat them and that humans consume.

After several years of debate and review, the U.S. Forest Service has issued a plan for managing 72,000 acres of public and private land in the Green Mountains, near Rutland. The agency is proposing to open roughly 11,000 acres to timber harvests, a move that’s proven controversial and sparked disagreement among environmentalists in the state. At the heart of the disagreement is how the project defines and treats old forests, and how much land it proposes for logging.

Vermont is joining 11 other states in suing the Trump administration for revoking California’s long-standing ability to regulate air pollution from cars and trucks more stringently than the federal government, and to require the sale of more electric vehicles within its borders. At stake is Vermont and other states’ ability to phase out the sale of new gasoline and diesel powered cars, in favor of electric alternatives.
