Kehitys kehittyy Euroopassa. Puola turkistarhauksen kieltämisen tiellä. Suomi kohtaa viimeisiä takapajuloita? Kauanko veronmaksajien rahoja Suomessa tuhlataan?
EU:n suurimman turkistuottajamaan Puolan parlamentti äänesti turkistarhauskiellon puolesta selvällä äänten enemmistöllä! Kielto tarvitsee vielä parlamentin ylähuoneen hyväksynnän ja presidentin allekirjoituksen, mutta kiellon läpimenoa pidetään lähes varmana.

Since early 2025 I've worked my way to diminish the use of big tech social media and services. It has been slow but the pace is picking up. Here's my progress ⬇️

Our bias towards charismatic species leaves 'ugly' animals behind in conservation efforts.

But should looks determine which species we protect?🐡

Meillä on lajeja jotka sinnittelevät vain luonnontilaisten metsien rippeillä. Mitä pienempi alue, sitä todennäköisemmin laji vielä häviää. Uutta ei tilalle tule, koska.. mistäpä tulisi. Suojelualueet kehittyvät luonnontilaan, mutta kaikilla lajeilla ei ole aikaa odottaa vuosisatoja. Ja SIKSI..

The fact that the most thorough and technologically advanced genocide of our time, the rise of fascism & destruction of US academia, are all being justified under the umbrella of opposing antisemitism is not just a heinous trick of history. It means something quite profound.

Two of my favorites at the same time: It's the International Day of Happiness and the World Parasite Awareness Day.

I do love being happy and I do love parasites.

Microplastics damage plants' ability to photosynthesize. According to a new estimate, 4-14% of global production of staple crops like wheat is being lost due to microplastics. Other stuff too.

How come trying to get rid of microplastics isn't on the news every day?
Microplastics hinder plant photosynthesis, study finds, threatening millions with starvation
Researchers say problem could increase number of people at risk of starvation by 400m in next two decades

I just used again so much time on email today. To be fair, I have a 20 week streak on less than 5 h of email per week. But STILL, it's so easy to get flooded when sorting my inbox. I'm dreaming of focusing on my book manuscript. And world peace.

Wars end, dictatorships end. We have a future. Everything you do or don't do matters. Choose faith, hope, collective power. Do whatever you can, where you are, with whatever you have. You matter and together our voices will make a difference.

It's always a bit weird to come across my own work in searches. I guess it proves I'm in the same field, from which I'm searching? This time my recently published essay "The political economy of ecofeminist degrowth" came to my attention. The other alert item is super interesting, downloaded!
