Dutch to red light tourists: Behave!

June 13, 2019 Good morning! Radiohead hacks the hackers — more on that in a moment. First, were you one of the many tourists that flooded through Amsterdam's famed red-light district in recent years? If so, you might be one of the last. The city council is taking measures to combat visitor numbers, including doubling the hotel tax, preventing new tourist shops from opening and, starting next year, [banning tours of the renowned red-light district](. Also, grocery shopping comes with its challenges. So the boom in meal kits delivered right to your doorstep with all the incredients you need is a convenience. But, what about all that packaging? The World's Jason Margolis [takes a look at the carbon footprint]( of all those meal kits with a surprising answer. *** New feature from The World's [April Peavey]( Global Hit Radiohead took a bad situation and [made it better for fans and a climate activist group](. Hackers stole some unreleased music from the band's archives and then demanded ransom. But the British band ended up just releasing all 18 hours of recordings and asked fans instead to donate to the environmental group Extinction Rebellion. We have several Radiohead fans in The World’s newsroom. Environment editor [Peter Thompson]( is a huge fan. One of his favorite songs is "There, There." It’s “completely fresh and astonishing reworking of the 60-plus year-old basic ingredients of rock 'n' roll — electric guitar, bass, drums, hand claps — into an urgent and gripping dose of super-danceable outrage,” he said. We thought we'd update our Spotify playlist with some of our favorite Radiohead jams. Here’s The World’s [Radiohead Top 10 list](.
