Great campaign success by ROBIN WOOD and campaigners in Italy, getting Porsche to wtihdraw a terrible proposal to destroy an ancient oak forest and habitat for rare species for testing racing cars!
💚 Der italienische Steineichenwald Bosco d'Arneo ist gerettet, die Rötelschwalbe, der Häherkuckuck, die gelbgrüne Zornnatter und der ägäische Nacktfinger-Gekko dürfen ihren Lebensraum vorerst behalten! Porsche hat uns gestern verkündet, die Pläne für die Testrennstrecke nicht weiter zu verfolgen 🥳

National Environmental Protections work. If we don't want to experience acid rain again we must keep them.

Scientists do not get paid for getting quoted in the newspaper about science.
People know this, right?
Last year I was quoted in about 30 media articles, and I received a grand total of $0 for this.
We do it because it’s important, not because we get paid.

but where would we find the apartments? hmmm… boot out AirBnB maybe?

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Death penalty is now legal for immigrants deemed "illegal". And the president is encouraging the attorney general to back states wanting to enact that death penalty
But remember "illegal immigrants" can be anyone accused of shop lifting and who didn't have their passport on them. No trial necessary
