"Landmines have become the greatest protectors."

The demilitarised zone between North and South Korea has become an ecological oasis, with nearly 6,000 species documented, including tigers, leopards, and bears.

Sometimes, the best rewilding experiments are unintended.

Rīgas princese izbrauc ārpus civilizācijas: 4+ stundu brauciens busā ar kvalitatīviem autobusiem bez kāju balstiem, vienu iespējamu wc AO, kas ir vecs un netīrs toi toi brālēns bez iespējas aizslēgt. Vismaz pieturas vairs nebļauj virsū, bet tā ir zudusī kvalitāte. Izvēlieties sabiedrisko transportu!

We have built cathedrals of busyness,
Worshipping at the altar of output,
Mistaking motion for meaning.

🌲Ed Sheeran explains to Louis Theroux that he dislikes private jets and prefers trains because "I like the environment, I like trees." We know that this type of messaging from celebrities is hugely impactful. We need far more of this from more stars.

A really cool new study on the impact of climate activism has just dropped! Some highlights:

Just another day where I spend time pulling data that might not be available if the government shuts down instead of doing other tasks.

Yet it's trivial compared to the thousands of federal employees whose jobs would be affected and the millions of people who rely on what those employees do.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
