Time and time again, sustainable solutions are smarter business

Can you call it a ceasefire when 27 people were killed in the past 24 hours? 😢

Well, we could have seen this one coming. Boomer industry refuses to innovate, becomes irrelevant because Chinese EV’s are way better and cheaper, and now makes the German chancellor fight the EU ban on combustion engines. Way to go… www.dw.com/en/germany-m...

Stop de verwarring. #vlees

NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Amsterdam this afternoon (Sunday, Oct 5). An estimated 250,000 bring the city to a standstill; people all wearing red to show solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸 (🎥 Ahmed Zantac)

This gives me hope: Rode lijn protest Amsterdam

Wat een prachtig stuk! www.trouw.nl/verdieping/r...

Greta Thunberg MUST get the Nobel Peace Prize. Imagine how much Donald Trump and Netanyahu would rage.

Antarctica is changing faster than we ever imagined (…) Evidence from the past shows that change originating in the Antarctic has the potential to spread rapidly, sometimes within decades

This is so sad. Nature reserves turned into a golf course or a marina for luxury yachts

The food conversation today is lagging about twenty years behind the energy and fossil fuels conversation. Big Ag gets away with everything: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Ik luister normaal graag naar de podcast Het uur, maar de aflevering met Mark van Vugt vond ik ondraaglijk. Wat een prietpraat.

What? 😳

Goh wat toevallig, alweer bij Den Treek: nos.nl/l/2583709

Exactly this: ‘while the pen might be mightier than the sword, the wallet is mightier than the pen’ .. ‘No one ever lost money by telling billionaires what they want to hear’

The violent weather that battered Europe this summer caused short-term economic losses of at least €43bn, according to an EU-wide estimate, with costs expected to rise to €126bn by 2029. And this might be a low estimate. How clever of the EU to kill it’s climate ambition

@ericmahieu.nl Heb jij tips hoe we dit prachtige nest uit de schuur weg kunnen krijgen? Zit in de schuur van een vakantiehuis waar ik nu ben in de buurt van Toulouse. Volgens mij zijn het hoornaars

This is sickening: More than a third of people impacted by a disaster report experiencing fraud. Next level evil. How can you live with yourself after scamming people who have just lost their home and everything in it?

What a cluster fuck: more lightning as a result of climate change = more wildfires = more smoke = more deaths from smoke, more flash flooding and mudslides, more dark coating on glaciers, all accelerating Climate change www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Alweer een heel goed artikel van Sander Turnhout, met een superleuk idee: zoöperaties als game changer. ‘Door natuur een stem te geven, ga je andere gesprekken voeren en andere afwegingen maken’.

And again, things go much faster than expected: The staggeringly rapid expansion of the drying regions was surprising even for the scientists

Just incredible: Antarctica’s largest iceberg A23a calved in 1986, and was stuck on the ocean floor for over 30 years. It is now in warmer waters, so only half remains, which is still 1,770 sq km www.theguardian.com/environment/...

‘A sign of things to come’

🌊 A marine heatwave is supercharging a toxic algal bloom off South Australia’s coast Killing ~34,000 animals from about 480 different species Climate change isn’t coming. It’s already washing up on our beaches www.theguardian.com/environment/...

So many food habits are socially engineered: “Eighty percent of African Americans, and 90 percent of Asian Americans are lactose intolerant, (…) And yet, milk is the standard for school lunch”

What’s going on in Antarctica is really scary: the abrupt decline in Antarctica's winter sea-ice extent over the past decade has been 4.4 times faster than reductions seen in the Arctic over the past 46 years

Devastating read: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Great result for the plastics lobby

The absurd reality of the climate crisis: tourists escaping their holiday homes in the south of Europe because of wildfires. The Dutch press reports on the inconveniences for Dutch tourists, as always without even mentioning the climate crisis. nos.nl/l/2577731

Time and time again, we overestimate humans and underestimate animals. ‘Birds in general are turning out to have intellectual abilities far greater than most people had imagined (…) “There’s so much we don’t even notice.”

Living in a world where morality is turned upside down. I have no words for this anymore

‘Er is bij omgevingsdiensten een cultuur dat je het bedrijfsleven niet te veel in de weg moet zitten.’ Tsja

Peak fuck the planet mentality: Global gas flaring rose for a second year in a row to reach its highest level since 2007

A new pandemic long in the making: birdflu. The result of U.S. farmers and government unwillingness to test. ‘Virologists around the world said they were flabbergasted by how poorly the United States was tracking the situation (…) www.scientificamerican.com/article/bird...

Sadly, this is going to happen to much of the Mediterranean. With the Mediterranean Sea at record-high temperatures up to 30 degrees, we will only see more of this. This is what huge stretches of land will look like after the fires

Really good opinion on how the elite facilitated Orban’s dictatorship, and the same is now happening in the US. ‘Last month, young Hungarians marched in Budapest’s Pride — despite the fact that Mr. Orban had banned it. As usual, Hungarians with power and privilege mostly stayed away

Another example of the corrupting power of money: a textbook SLAPP case. SLAPP is a legal tactic used by companies and governments to intimidate or silence critics. It’s everywhere, and unfortunately it’s very successful

Scary stuff: Some researchers fear that the world’s oceans have transitioned to a new, hotter state, threatening our ability to accurately predict both short-term weather extremes, such as hurricanes, and long-term climatic shifts

I think a lot about Michael Sandel’s point that money is morally corrupting society these days

This is so scary: UN plastic treaty talks swamped by lobbyists and petrostates, threatening and harassing scientists www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The algae bloom spans an area 4,500 square km… at least 13.800 animals died. This is what happens when oceans store so much heat

There we have it. Spikes in food prices up to 300% because of climate change. As always, hitting vulnerable people hardest www.theguardian.com/business/202...

This seems like a good moment to share this article again: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

It always amazes me how people believe they can buy themselves a way out, rather than focusing all energy on preventing further escalation of the planetary crisis (article in Dutch about bunkers for 190.000 euros and emergency kits for 1800 euros): www.trouw.nl/binnenland/n...

Sportswashing is a topic that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. This report shows how big it is: www.newweather.org/2024/09/18/s... Over $5,5 billion in active sponsorship deals from big oil.

Happening now in the country where climate change officially doesn’t exist anymore: The Southwest US is currently facing its worst megadrought of the past 1,200 years. According to a recent study from The Uni of Texas, the drought could continue at least until the end of the century, if not longer’

Next level evil: paying $130,000 to destroy food destined for hungry children

Horrendous: “Water is an afterthought” for tech companies (…) The thinking is, ‘Someone will figure that out later.’”
