This is the entire thesis of degrowth - and of Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs" - stated plainly, and it's irrefutable. The majority of human labor and energy expenditure is squandered on activities that do not meaningfully contribute to human well-being. What is required is not growth, but reallocation

A good sentiment and yes, get that card. But also, use the card. Walking through the door of your local library and utilizing the available services (books and beyond) counts more than having the card. I used to work for the library — those numbers matter.

Kansainväliset raportit korostavat kiireellistä tarvetta muuttaa kulutusta ja tuotantoa ympäristön kannalta kestävämmäksi. Suomessa ehdotetaan uutta luontolakia ja ministeriöiden yhteistyötä.

The latest data from NOAA sends a powerful message: November 2024 was the second-warmest month in 175 years of record-keeping, and there is a 99% chance that 2024 will be the hottest year ever recorded. This is a stark reminder of the growing impact of climate change on our planet.

Ympäristökriisit vaikuttavat fyysisen terveyden ohella myös mielenterveyteen.
Esimerkiksi ilmastonmuutoksen voimistamat sään ääri-ilmiöt lisäävät mielenterveysoireilua. Lisäksi vaikeat ympäristötunteet, kuten ilmastoahdistus, voivat voimakkaina haastaa toimintakykyä.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
