Proud to support -in my own little way as a designer- the launch of this WePlanet Africa campaign, highligting the importance of trade-off thinking and exposing implicit climate hypocrisy.

I've just joined a slime mold appreciation group on FB.
Anyone else's weekend of to a great start?

Denmark’s Groundbreaking Agriculture Climate Policy Sets Strong Example for the World Denmark’s Green Tripartite Agreement imposes taxes on livestock, restores forests and peatlands, and pays farmers to reduce pollution.

New explainer: In June, Denmark announced a groundbreaking new agriculture & climate policy, which is the world’s most comprehensive national effort to address the environmental & climate challenges of agriculture. It should help the country reach its goal to reduce ag emissions 55%-65% by 2030. 1/

This is unfolding as I predicted last year in my report: changingmarkets.org/wp-content/u...

my mistake. (Should have read the article in full.)
I warmly welcome a broad-across the isle, blue collar, unionized, buildbuildbuild, yimby... - eco populist movement!

Despite Naomi saying it jokingly, I think an eco'populist' movement; in the sense that it promotes ideas that are ❤️popular and 💚improve the environment (in significant ways) is exactly what we need. It's not degrowth nor 'Micro-consumerist bollocks'.

Save the Belgian Reactors Sign the petition to save Belgian nuclear by February 15th! Teken de petitie om Belgische kernenergie te redden tegen 15 februari! Signez la pétition pour sauver le nucléaire belge avant le 15 février...

Na Doel 3 en Tihange 2 wordt ook Doel 1 in Februari naar het schavot gebracht, tenzij er tijdig iets aan gedaan wordt.

Vandaag mag er in België nog steeds geen bedrijf opperen om een centrale verder uit te baten, en zo smijten we het gewoon weg...

this is going to be the stupidest administration. anti-science meets anti-regulation. salatin, a hack who was made famous by pollan, another hack, is gonna advise the USDA and is praising the PRIME ACT, which seeks to remove federal inspection of small slaughterhouses.

The take-away has to be: humans have always had a very significant impact on the environment/other beings. It's not 'modernity' or 'capitalism' or 'industrialism', 'the west'... that's the root-problem. Not that those don't come with problems, just that the story is not that simple.

bedankt Olivier!

Make of it what you will. Reactors are essential for a good to great future.

looking for ppl to follow on climate, biodiversity, development, energy, nuclear, alternative proteins, cultivated meat, biotech, CDR, green growth, degrowth, geoengineering, agriculture...

Wel :-) zeer concreet; door input te geven hoe we Vlaanderen/Belgie van volkomen versnipperd naar meer dense/groenere (letterlijk) steden en dorpen krijgen, met daartussen meer ruimte voor aaneengeschakelde 'wilde' en minder wilde natuur, natte gebieden (waterbuffering), etc.

always here for any questions about us :-) we've got ppl in the UK aswell, they're really just getting started with a UK chapter

beginnen met 'hello world' zeker :-)
