What an amazing lineup of talks at @greenhouseuis.net this winter. I would be grinding my teeth on dismay at missing them were it not for the fact that the recordings will be available later. What a wonderful service to our #EnvHum community. Thank you, Greenhouse friends!

Same to you!

My battery is pretty low after an energy-intensive day, but it has been so great to be back in Stavanger with a room full of bright minds and critical ideas! Looking forward to more tomorrow. Thanks to @melinabuns.bsky.social for organising! #EnvHum

Sad not to see you @juliaditter.bsky.social !

Exciting position for someone here!

Anyone have good recommendations for basic undergraduate readings/resources on the basic concept of sustainability? Bonus points if you can point me to texts on Scandinavian contexts (tekster på norsk/dansk/svensk er også greit). Thanks! #EnvHum #Sustainability #Bærekraft

Looking forward to some more good #energyhumanities conversations in Bochum next week. And to Team Petrocultures representation with @imreszeman.bsky.social and @gmacdonald.bsky.social 💡🔥⚡💨🔆

How the world’s taste for soya is eating Brazil’s Amazon Cultivation of the crop has made a few wealthy but at a huge cost to untouched forest as it spreads across vast areas of former wilderness

This story isn‘t about ‘the world‘s taste for soya‘, it‘s about the world‘s taste for meat. The vast majority of soya is grown for animal feed. Less than 10% is for direct human consumption. A shame it‘s not mentioned in the story.
