A view of Earth from the Artemis mission is a powerful reminder: this is the only known place in the universe where life like ours exists. 🌍 Protecting Earth isn’t about saving the planet, it will persist in some form — it’s about protecting, at least for now, the only home that sustains humanity.

Press release: Support for nuclear energy surges while opposition drops to the lowest level ever. Support is highest among voters under 35. Labor & Greens could both secure significant votes if they adopted a policy supporting nuclear energy.

This week @marklynas.bsky.social speaks with @dratropos.bsky.social, about why conspiracy thinking is more dangerous than ever. The appeal is simple: know the conspiracy, & everything makes sense. Real conspiracies exist, making fake ones nearly impossible to debunk. 🎙️Ep available now: link below.

It's only waste if we waste it! Last week we released the German 'What a Waste' report which outlines the case for retaining and recycling Germany's used nuclear fuel which still contains virtually limitless clean energy. Full report: weplanet.short.gy/waw-germany

This week @marklynas.bsky.social speaks with Dr. Sylvia Earle, legendary marine biologist & oceanographer. She takes us on a journey from copper diving suite to the transformative technology of cell-cultured fish. Her message - we must choose the future we want. 🎙️Ep available now: link below.

Wealthy nations are telling Africa to stop deforestation — while millions still rely on charcoal to cook. LPG could save millions from deadly indoor air pollution & protect Africa’s forests. But it's being blocked in the name of climate action. They're effectively telling Africa to stop cooking.

Join us for our April community meeting where we will discuss how making meat from cells lets us enjoy the foods we know and love without the animal welfare, public health & environmental impacts of existing animal agriculture. Everyone welcome. RSVP: www.weplanetaustralia.org/event-detail...

The world is scrambling to find alternatives to oil & gas as the crisis in the Middle East escalates. Hydrogen is again being offered up as a possible solution. @mliebreich.bsky.social joined @marklynas.bsky.social on our podcast last year to explain why it's not the solution it's made out to be.

How do we unlock the resources which enable the key technologies that are driving the transition to a cleaner, more efficient global economy? We spoke with experts about how governments & industry can streamline approvals while safeguarding our environment & securing social licence.

“Ultra-processed food” panic is shaping food policy in all the wrong ways. This week @marklynas.bsky.social speaks with food scientist Nesli Sözer about why processing is not the problem — poor nutrition is. 🎙️Ep available now: link below.

We ❤️ nuclear waste! It's saved billions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. And best of all, it can be recycled into fuel for the future. That's hundreds, if not thousands, of years of potential energy. Let's include nuclear to fix the climate crisis and let's not waste nuclear waste.

Should we be fishing for krill in the Antarctic?

MAJOR WIN FOR CLIMATE ACTION! We've halted the demolition of Tihange's cooling towers! Why it matters: ✅ Prevents irreversible destruction of billions in clean energy infrastructure ✅ Keeps the door open for restarting Tihange 1 & 2 ✅ Protects Belgium's energy security & climate goals

The world is electrifying and clean energy is leading the way! A new International Energy Agency report forecasted that electricity demand will continue to rise by roughly 3.5% annually as industry and transport are rapidly electrified, and developing countries increase access to electricity.

Europe this morning has made another step towards evidence-based policy on modern plant science. This is a big win for farmers, consumers and our environment as it will allow more efficient crops to be grown across the EU. At WePlanet, we have been working towards this outcome for several years.

Nuclear energy construction has been too slow in the West and needs reform. But nuclear energy still remains a key technology for clean, reliable and affordable energy as we transition away from fossil fuels.

Today the European Parliament votes on the censorship of common food names, like 'burger', for plant-based food. Vegi explains what's at stake one last time. #veggieburgerfreedom

334,919 Europeans are refusing to be treated as if they can't tell the difference between a plant-based burger and a beef burger. Tomorrow the European Parliament will vote on the censorship of plant-based food names. Today we presented our petition to MEP Anna Strolenberg.

EU politicians will decide on Wednesday whether to go ahead with the ban on words like burger and sausage for plant-based foods. That means we have one last chance to show how unpopular – and absurd – this policy is. Act now and see what you can do on savetheburger.org

Two years ago scientists across Europe demonstrated to give genes a chance to be in Europe's agriculture toolbox. This week it looks like the EU listened! So, we're cautiously celebrating. We are currently studying the text, but for now thank you Europe for giving genes a chance!
