Today's riddle: Why was the scarecrow given an award? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Roundup: Mission Hills' win highlights busy Friday of football in San Diego (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Carlsbad High's top-ranked football team stayed unbeaten with a 30-7 Avocado West League win over Torrey Pines, powered by standout performances from Darian Webb and Antonio D'Alessandro. The roundup also recaps a full slate of other San Diego County high school games, highlighting key league openers, big offensive nights, and shifting rankings across the section.
• Desalination Brine: The Salty Waste Stream Becoming a Mine for Lithium, (scienmag.com) — Carlsbad's seawater desalination plant is singled out as a global leader for recovering 98 percent of its salty brine to make industrial salt, sharply reducing ocean discharge. A new scientific review explains how plants like Carlsbad's could eventually mine lithium, magnesium, and other minerals from brine, turning a local waste stream into a potential economic and climate opportunity for coastal communities.
• Solana Beach approves updates to plastics ordinance (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Solana Beach is tightening its single-use plastics rules for food service, aligning compostable materials with what EDCO's local facility can actually process. For Carlsbad residents, it's a reminder that nearby coastal cities, including Carlsbad, already have similar ordinances aimed at cutting plastic waste and microplastics along San Diego County beaches.
