Heartbreaking! Thanks for your work.

I filmed this pig staring at me he arrived at a slaughterhouse.

His eyes. The fear. The terror. 💔 Don't let his death be in vain.

Police Bodycams Reveal Pattern of Deference to Meat Industry State troopers cited concerns about animal rights activists as justification for blocking journalists from livestock crash sites.

Read the full investigation by @greymoran.bsky.social:

MFRR: Car bomb attack on investigative journalist Sigfrido Ranucci rings alarm for media freedom in Italy The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) joins the undersigned journalists and media freedom organisations in strongly condemning the car bomb attack ...

#Italy: We strongly condemn the car bomb attack on one of Italy’s leading investigative journalists and his family, Sigfrido Ranucci. Report journalist has been living under police protection since 2010. Recently, he had reported a series of threats, including P38 bullets found outside his house.

Attentato a Sigfrido #Ranucci: i giornalisti scomodi sono un bersaglio. E allora è il caso di ricordare ancora una volta una cosa non scontata: tutti devono difendere la libertà di informazione e la libertà per Sigfrido, comprese tutte le istituzioni.

I don't get to write about a lot of good news, but this is a really big deal — the global fur industry has collapsed over the last decade. My rundown on the numbers and how it unfolded: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Cycle track through central Copenhagen

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford bike-lanes in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.’” — @mortenkabell.bsky.social

New study connects the dots between eating less meat and safer drinking water Fertilizer runoff from livestock feed is contaminating U.S. groundwater. But replacing just 10% of meat with alternative proteins could slash the risk of nitrate pollution by up to 20%.

Could T. rex swim? Kinda Evidence suggests dinosaurs like tyrannosaurs were probably best suited to a version of the doggy paddle.

Could Tyrannosaurus rex swim like its silver screen equivalent in the new Jurassic World film?

The big carnivore was probably able to do the dino doggypaddle, but a big body full of air sacs may have been the reptile more of a "tipsy punter" than a skilled swimmer. I dig in at NatGeo. 🧪

Assolutamente! Purtroppo la polarizzazione di questo ed altri argomenti non è un caso. Grazie mille per il lavoro di informazione che fate, non vedo l'ora di leggere la newsletter!

Exploring pathways for world development within planetary boundaries - Nature Current trends imply that we will transgress most of the planetary boundaries by 2050; however, ambitious, urgent and universal action to ameliorate climate change and increase resource efficiency can...

Can we change our trajectory and live within #planetaryboundaries?

Yes, but we have to act as soon as possible to implement the Paris climate agreement, shift to a healthier diet (EAT-Lancet), improve food and resources efficiency, consume less.

The History of 'Plant-Based Meat'

Is plant-based 'meat' a new concept? Absolutely not! But it is the future!

Voiced by Robbie Lockie.

How Slaughterhouses Work: The Harsh Reality of Meat Production A brief primer on the harsh conditions animals and workers endure.

It’s not exactly revelatory to say that slaughterhouses cause pain; they’re killing factories, after all. But the scope of this pain, and the number of animals and people it impacts, isn’t immediately apparent.

Why vanishing sea ice at the poles is a crisis for the entire planet Extremely low sea ice levels in the Arctic and Antarctica signal a "new normal" that may accelerate global warming and disrupt ocean currents, on top of the consequences for people and wildlife that rely on the ice

It was a pleasure, thanks for writing it!

"We found that observing unnecessary high-carbon behaviour demotivates people and reduces the sense of collective effort that is essential for a successful societal response to climate change." - great article and research by @steveclimate.bsky.social

Do people feel they can go #green at work? Our colleagues Brian Wagner, Ellen van der Werff and Linda Steg have a new paper out about what motivates employees to act pro-environmentally while doing their jobs.

That's great! Thank you very much.

Simply magnificent!

This photo is truly breathtaking @reidar66.bsky.social! I am writing an article on northern lights, and I'd love to ask you a couple of questions. Would that be ok?

Hi! I am looking for #NorthernLights chasers and photographers for tips on the best places to see #AuroraBorealis in Scandinavia.

Get in touch if interested or if you know someone who could be interested!

Age of the panzootic: scientists warn of more devastating diseases jumping between species Experts believe H5N1 bird flu belongs in a growing category of infectious diseases that can cause pandemics across many species. But there are ways to reduce the risks

Mark Honigsbaum, a medical historian and author of Pandemic Century, says: “Why are they becoming more frequent? Well, the simple answer is, it’s because of the way we humans settle and colonise larger and larger areas of the planet.”

A collage of 9 photos shot by me (Teresa). The photos document casual encounters with urban nature and portray different natural elements and landscapes, the sea, trees, frozen leaves, city plants.

My adventures in #natureconnectedness continue, just not on social media! Armed with my humble but trusted feature phone, I am determined to get out as often as possible and document random nature encounters. I will upload the photos on my website teraga.me/seeking-urba....

Always worth watching the NASA spiral. Beautiful and terrifying.

My WTF moment of 2024: my partner bought this record thinking it was an 80s metal band. We put the record on and find a Soviet reworked version of @thecure.com's "Kyoto Song" @robert.thecure.com in it. That was quite unexpected!

Fireworks are yet another expression of humans' inability to consider the needs of the vulnerable (be it human or non-human).

Why not replace them with kinder alternatives (light shows, for example) instead of keeping idiot and damaging habits alive?
