Deal days save you money a few times a year, but going solar provides savings all year long. By switching to solar energy, you can significantly cut or even eliminate your electric bill.

And much climate action isn't about protest anyway - it's about bringing people together to make positive change in our communities, organisations and countries

Getting fossil fuels out of the system makes the places we live better. We should do more of it.
A quiet EV upside the FT highlights: less noise.
Cities like Beijing and Shanghai are already seeing calmer, quieter streets—and better sleep—as EV adoption rises.
EVs are notably quieter at low speeds, though tyre noise dominates above ~50 km/h.

The clean energy leapfrogging is real.

#COP30 left the world divided, but spurred momentum that will continue beyond Belém.
Framed as the “implementation COP,” it was meant to shift conversations on #ClimateAction. But divisions on key issues stalled progress until the last moment.

The submission is in. The argument laid down with utmost clarity. And surely, hopefully, the truth is incontestable: this land and its wildlife need protecting. And then the waiting. For years. Then finally, this month, India's Supreme Court made Saranda forest a sanctuary.

Unlike most marine mammals, otters don’t have blubber. They rely on the densest fur in the animal kingdom to trap warm air against their skin. Constant grooming keeps that fur clean, fluffed, and waterproof so they can stay warm in cold Pacific waters.
