YouTube video by dreamlion JANE GOODALL'S LAST INTERVIEW Recorded on 9/23/25

Thought you might appreciate Jane Goodall's last interview, at 91 years and a week before her passing. Still so salient and active to the very end, especially the part about creating new narratives. May she rest in peace.

Happy birthday Jaws! How the movie changed shark science Half a century after its cinematic release, Jaws is still shaping how we view — and protect — the ocean’s top predators.

#Sharks, prehaps the most maligned of all animal taxa. Gross ecological imbalance created by people, stoked by a false Hollywood portrayal and a betrayal of our cartilaginous cousins. The most graceful creature I ever swam with, sorry #dolphins.

Two jailed for role in 'industrial scale' illegal dumping Two company directors in Northern Ireland have been jailed for their roles in running one of the largest illegal dumps in Europe.

Progress, one step at a time, #SDG6. Wish @rtenews report stated what toxins were dumped and what entered the river. Chemical waste? Solvents? Solid waste?

Over €440k spent on Cork's 'robo-trees' before they were removed The moss walls were placed into storage last month

IN MEMORY OF TECHNO OPTIMISM

Here stood three robotic cyborg trees,
Without root or fruit,
never to sway in the breeze
A natureless solution from EU cash,
Moss, fans and sensors sparked eco-flash.
A dream in ruin, a crying shame
Compost and e'waste, all the same,
or not?

Having lived most of my life in Miami and Carribean, I must say this is absolutely reckless!

5000km milestone on my ebike. CO2 emissions including both operation & manufacturing, ~0.3 metric tons.
In contrast, 5000km of emissions for my petrol car is ~2.1t CO2 excluding manufacturing.

Ireland has major challenges for #SDG12 Responsible Consumption. SDG12 is challenges most consumer based economies in Global N, and is especially challenging to Ireland with most indicators stagnating or down trending regarding pollutants embodied in imports.

Ireland ranks 27 of 31 in Europe on the ‘spillover index’ assessing the global ‘footprint’ for Irish imports. Performance on environmental, social & economic dimensions are poor. However, Ireland performs well for indictors reflecting multilateralism.

Ireland ranks 7 of 34 on the Leave No One Behind index in SDSN's #European #SustainableDevelopment Report. Although work remains, still successes to acknowledge. LNOB was main focus of 🇮🇪's 1st SDG Implementation Plan. #socialjustice

Seems like classic Orwellian doublespeak

This sounds significant. Section 15 of Ireland’s Climate Act requires public bodies to act in a way to further the Climate Action Plan and Long Term Strategy - threat of legal action should compel them to include climate in their core mandates.
