Earth, seen from the far side of the moon. We are the only species that can look back at this planet and understand what we're seeing — fragile, magnificent, precious. That awareness is a gift. We have the tools. We have the ingenuity. The future is what we choose. 🌍

The EU's proposed ban on "meaty" terms could be a "Kodak moment" for food tech innovation. WePlanet's Joel Scott-Halkes writes, "Do we want to be as reliant on China for imported protein as we are for solar panels? If the CMO file passes, that future may be closer than we think."

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
