Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital city and Europe’s Green Capital of 2025, has launched its first electric ferryboat. The zero-emission ferry service transports passengers along the Neris River, carrying up to 32 passengers between business and residential districts, with stops at several historical landmarks. It is covered in solar panels and cuts through the water, which the city says is more energy-efficient than aquaplaning. “We are looking in Europe, and nobody else has done this project,” said Vilnius public transport chief Loreta Levulytė-Staškevičienė.

A South Carolina teaching assistant was arrested and charged with malicious injury to personal property and interfering with schools after he allegedly spritzed “poop spray” around campus. Investigators accused Alexander Lewis of using a spray “designed to mimic the smell of feces” multiple times over the last month, causing health issues among West Florence High School students and staff, said Local 12. The “mysterious” stench also led to nearly $55,000 worth of inspection and repair costs.
