'Birdbrain' benefits: How being an expert birdwatcher may boost cognition
New research shows that seasoned birders — including older adults — had denser tissue in parts of the brain tied to attention and perception.
For all you #birders out there (including me) -
'Birdbrain' benefits: new research shows that seasoned birders had denser tissue in parts of the brain tied to working memory, spatial awareness & object recognition. #BirdBrain

Despite significant federal headwinds, US renewables just had a record year.
Notably, 93% of new generation capacity expected to be added to the US grid this year is projected to come from wind, solar and batteries.

Street transformation from car space to street willed with people including kids
It’s not just about what you remove (cars, noise, dirty air). It’s about what you add (people walking, a lot of bike parking, trees, outdoor dining, and room for kids to play safely). Amsterdam: 1986 and today.
Streets for people.

How ‘smog capital of Poland’ saved 6,000 lives by cutting soot levels
Kraków’s ban on burning solid fuels plus subsidies for cleaner heating has led to clearer air and better health
10 years ago I worked with Polish colleagues to phase out coal heating.
Clean heating policies worked – Poland’s air is cleaner today.
Clear rules and support for households cut pollution and saved thousands of lives.

“Our transition to EVs is aimed at ensuring our energy sovereignty,” said Ethiopia’s state minister for transport and logistics. “As a net importer of fuel, we are affected by global supply and price fluctuations. In contrast, EVs use electricity, which we produce locally and can price ourselves.”

Can light construction lead to adaptable, sustainable building?
The construction sector is responding to climate challenges, with “lighter construction” offering a sustainable solution, including through limited resource extraction and fewer carbon dioxide emissions. Reduce heat loss, greater availability of materials and lower costs mean homes can be built more comfortably and more affordably while reducing budgets for larger construction projects with safer conditions. Accelerating light construction methods depends on upskilling stakeholders in the value chain, an improved regulatory framework and better access to data. In response to climate challenges and demographic shifts, the construction sector is undergoing a major transformation. More agile and sustainable approaches, such as light construction, are offering faster, more responsible solutions for today’s evolving needs. What is light construction? Light construction, unlike traditional construction, which relies on heavy materials such as concrete or brick, favours lighter load-bearing structures. For example, timber, metal or concrete “skeletons” can have attached to them non-load-bearing façade and partition systems (interior or exterior walls that do not support the building’s structural weight, serving functions such as insulation, weather protection, fire resistance, acoustic separation and spatial organization). These structures can be an appropriate and sustainable solution for reducing the carbon footprint of buildings, while meeting the demands of cost, speed...

A great read on #electrotech, why electricity prices should come down, and watching the movie not the scene.

seagrasses are important habitats, supplying ecosystem services to humans: shelter for fish, carbon sequestration, coastal protection,.... follow us in this #GES4SEAS MOOC

fortunately, in Europe, the Water Framework Directive #WFD, has contributed to recover some systems, including many #Seagrass habitats
