For green building, there is nothing more local than straw
Canadians should have a closer look at this home-grown product.

“The Unbreakable Law Of Congestion” for the win

Wake up #Ontario. Your government is lying to you. @fordnation is manufacturing problems while financially rewarding his friends.
“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving. Understanding “The Unbreakabke Law Of Congestion” aka #InducedDemand. Via @wired.com
What's Up With That: Building Bigger Roads Actually Makes Traffic Worse

Here a piece I wrote about the visit of the environmental leader Thais Corral to Esade last October. I discuss my inputs for a report published by the United Nations Decade for Restoration on #regenerative bioeconomy which was presented at the #G20 Summit in Rio.

The European Commission has just released its Competitiveness Compass, which sets out what the EU needs to do in the next 5 years to enable its economy to flourish.
The circular economy is seen as part of the solution, with the Circular Economy Act planned for late 2026.

In search of the origins of morality, we can (obviously) look at earlier origins than "ancient Greece". Cooperative breeding and large brains helped hominins develop a sense of care, leading to an ethic of care. in: Burkart, Brügger & van Schaik (2018)

Without care, no one would live long enough to become an adult.

"We suggest that caring be viewed as a species activity that includes everything that we do to maintain, continue, and repair our ‘world’ so that we can live in it as well as possible." (J. Tronto)

De meest filosofische periode van het jaar breekt aan. Hedendaagse filosofen schrijven gelukkig weer teksten die ergens over gaan en iets veranderen. "Teksten veranderen me als persoon, en hoe ik in de wereld sta", zegt Teun van Son. www.trouw.nl/religie-filo...
Filosoof Teun van Son: ‘Intimiteit is te belangrijk om aan seksuele relaties over te laten’
Filosoof Teun van Son (1995) doet promotieonderzoek naar ethiek. Zijn persoonlijke leefregel: ‘Wij zijn opgevoed om bang te zijn voor het ‘ja’ in onszelf’.
