At the other end of the list, the top-ranked supermarket was east-coast chain Wegmans, which received a score of 88 out of 100. Despite the gripes, Americans are still visiting stores, logging an average of 1.2 supermarket visits per week, according to the Food Marketing Institute.

The Fiscal Times
The Climate Crisis, in 3 News Stories

Higher oceans threaten disaster, but greenhouse gas emissions continue, because they are lucrative. Bangladesh is the eighth-most populous country in the world, lying just east of India on the Bay of Bengal. "Though Bangladesh has contributed little to industrial air pollution," the Times reports, contributing less than half of 1 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, "by 2050, rising sea levels will inundate some 17 percent of the land and displace about 18 million people." Those sea levels are rising because increased atmospheric heat is melting Arctic ice, as well as because warmer ocean temperatures cause ocean water itself to expand. There are other problems complicating Bangladesh's situation: its heavily-polluted rivers mean that cities increasingly use ground water to drink, causing cities to settle and drop lower relative to the sea.
