this week, in Brussels’s circular economy: a chopping board was left in my street in a box with other things

sure, it might require a little love, I’ll sand it and oil and then it’ll be ready for the next cheese platter!

my phone yesterday, 8:20 in the morning

15 degrees above average, Brussels, Northern Europe

now, the fact that I'm Mediterranean and used to high(er) temperatures didn't make me blind to the fact that we were stepping into a furnace

it'll keep happening if we don't start taking serious action NOW

buying more gas only harms frontline communities and chains us further to energy insecurity, while propping up polluting industries

we ask @consilium.europa.eu‬ to not backtrack on the action we desperately need to fight the climate crisis and stand up for communities everywhere

Good morning ☀️

if you’re wondering what we’re doing with a giant prisoner’s ball in front of the EU Council this morning..

it’s because next Monday European ministers will discuss changes to EU legislation that could chain us even more to fossil gas under the excuse of energy security

WHY?👇

their words were "Resist, Defend, Rebuild"

my heart goes in particular to the partigiane, the women, who fought just as hard, even for their right to fight alongside men and carry guns, and are too often forgotten

buona liberazione a tutti

Brussels’s circular economy strikes again, this time providing me with two coffee saucers made in former Yugoslavia: time to put the coffee pot on!

a classic of the Brussels circular economy from last night: found in Forest three plant pots and two saucers!

last night I found this big plant at the end of my street, which I saved from freezing temperatures (hoping it won’t die in my care)

their previous owner made a stent to save one of the leaves..and then abandoned it?

it looks like ammonia will increasingly be at the centre of many discussions on EU’s chemical and industrial policies so I’ll be attending Ammonia Europe’s launch event today

curious to hear what role the European Commission sees for it in their future plans

this is a first for me:

6 nations half time on French tv comparing climate change temperature change in France and Ireland since 1850

we need more of this
(people talking about climate not roasting our planet)
