Putin wants a weak and divided Europe. Now Trump has joined him. Their weapon: social media. Pro-European voices are silenced. Far-right extremists are boosted. Europe has a weapon too, the Digital Services Act. So why aren’t you using it, dear European Commission?

A resilient planet depends on Indigenous leadership.

For taxpayers, every piece of cycling infrastructure is a gift that keeps on giving. An asset that returns annual savings in congestion, pollution, maintenance, safety and healthcare over its lifetime. Stop asking whether your city can afford to invest in cycling. Ask whether it can afford not to.

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥 There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️ They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬 Thread:🧵Plz RT

My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.

Keep sciencing. We are living through a time when looking at a rock and wondering how old it is qualifies as an act of resistance.

Where there are skills, there’s hope. And for refugee youth, that hope leads to opportunity and independence. In Jordan, the DAFI Scholarship helps refugee students access tertiary education despite financial and logistical barriers. #WorldYouthSkillsDay

The light at the end of the fossil tunnel is sun light.

Among all the big bad things happening on our planet, there's one Big Good Thing, the sudden, startling rise of solar energy. It changes the power dynamic, in every sense of the word 'power.' www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

Some celebrate Canada Day with parades. Others just find a quiet tree and a friend who gets it. Whatever you’re doing today, may it be simple, silly, and a little bit wild. 🇨🇦 #CalvinandHobbes40 #CanadaDayVibes
