Do you know Anamanaguchi? They’re a New York band that we all clearly need to meet. After five years of laying low, they’re about to drop a new album whose lead single is called, wait for it, “Lorem Ipsum,” with a parenthetical (Arctic Anthem) that nods both to a sonic feeling and the theme of the song, climate change. After a Frou Frou-esque opening recitation of “Lorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet,” the otherwise lyric-free song uses electronic instruments to convey the distance between the environmental elements we can feel — wind, rain, sun — and the utter enormity of  those beyond our grasp. It’s a five-minute epoch featuring a powerful, glittery chaos that calms to a twilight wasteland of a soundscape, which is ultimately where they leave you. A deeply compelling bummer, this track will affect a particular mood when you listen, which you ought to do ASAP. Welcome to climate change art, a quickly expanding genre.

Everyone loves a day-old pastry, provided it comes at half-price at the coffee shop register. It’s sweet for the bakery that clears off its shelves, sweet your wallet, and a literal sweet for your morning. What if this rule extended beyond pastries? One Finnish grocery chain, S-market, is exploring that question with grocery happy hours in which they mark down food by 60% when it’s a few hours from its midnight expiration date. Budget-conscious consumers now make a habit of shopping in that 9 p.m. window, and the stores make a bit of cash on something they would have thrown away. Turns out, if you care a little bit, combatting food waste is not that hard.

Back stateside, Walmart is solving for a different problem: how to attract teenage workers to the store. They want the youngs for the classic reasons that they’re cheaper to employ and easier to train, but how to draw them in? The answer, it turns out, is: with actual incentives. Walmart is offering high school employees free SAT and ACT prep, college tuition subsidies, and options to earn college credit through work. So if you’re 17, all you need to do is go to school full-time and hold down jobs at Walmart for college money and Starbucks for health insurance and you’re set. America, man.

Let’s assume you’re doing your part to combat food waste at home. Here’s a helpful tool: an airtight silicone lid that you can throw onto your bowls for easy leftover storage. Food52 developed these around the wants and needs of their cooking community, so they’re useful in a bunch of ways: they replace plastic wrap, of course, and they also act as splash guards in the microwave and insulators on the table. Yes, this is buying one more thing, but imagine the pleasure of not buying Saran Wrap. Check ’em out here.
