Authorities in Northern California arrested a man after he allegedly set a car ablaze deliberately and, consequently, sparked the state's largest fire of the year. A witness alleged that 42-year-old Ronnie Stout lit his mother's vehicle aflame on Wednesday, July 24, and pushed it off an embankment near Chico's Bidwell Park, The Washington Post reported. According to the latest updates from Cal Fire, the Park Fire has swelled to 164,286 acres across Butte and Tehama Counties and is 0% contained. It is over four times larger than California's second-largest fire of 2024 and is the state's largest wildfire in three years. The department has deployed 1,633 personnel to combat the conflagration that has already damaged 134 structures. No fatalities have been reported, though the Post noted that over 4,400 residents are under evacuation orders and that two people have sustained minor injuries. Experts have predicted strong gusts and dry conditions until Friday evening, causing the National Weather Service to issue a Red Flag warning for critical fire weather. Though the cause of the fire was unnatural, human activity has also likely compounded its severity. Our dependence on planet-warming gases has contributed to increasingly intense and frequent extreme weather events like droughts and heatwaves, creating more dry vegetation in a state already susceptible to devastating wildfires. "The fire quickly began to outpace our resources because of the dry fuels, the hot weather, the low humidities, and the wind," Butte County fire chief Garrett Sjolund said at a news conference Thursday. #climateemergency #climateaction #globalwarming #savetheplanet #environmentallyfriendly

@officialpandaexpress has brought back its Beyond Meat orange chicken for a limited time to select stores following a massive outcry from customers craving the meatless entrée. Fast Company reports that the temporary return of this menu item, which was first introduced in 2021, came after a flurry of complaints from customers. This included a petition that garnered more than 7,000 signatures. Though it was a massive hit upon its original release, Beyond Meat orange chicken was always meant to be a limited-supply menu item, Fast Company explains. It is unclear why the dish's return, which started July 3, is also temporary. Eating a vegan, vegetarian, or plant-based diet reduces risk for heart disease, stroke, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and many cancers, according to the American Heart Association. In fact, the "plant-slant" diet, which focuses heavily on beans, whole grains, and vegetables while limiting meat, is the diet of choice for some of the longest-living communities on earth. Cutting meat intake — whether you decide to go with a plant-slant diet or cut meat out entirely — also helps reduce carbon pollution. That's because the raising of livestock to produce meat, eggs, and milk is the source of 14.5% of all planet-warming pollution. #environmentallyfriendly #reduce #food #climateemergency #climateaction #globalwarming #savetheplanet #environmentallyfriendly
