It’s time to end polluting sponsorships and advertising across all public and cultural spaces.

The petrostates really want you to hate environmentalists. Don’t fall for it.
Before Germany’s last elections, hundreds of combustion-engine cars had been vandalised, combined with pro-Green flyers left on site. State investigators now assume a Russian influence operation:

Ermittler vermuten Russland hinter Bauschaum-Attacken auf Autos
Hunderte Autos wurden vor einem Jahr in mehreren Bundesländern mit Bauschaum beschädigt. Die Ermittler gehen derzeit davon aus, dass damit die Grünen vor der Wahl diskreditiert werden sollten.

Zelenskyy has posted a deeply difficult, ten‑minute national address. It is honestly heartbreaking to watch. I’m sure translations are already circulating and you’ll find it online, but the first point you need to hear is this:

For anyone interested in Nature in the UK, this is really, really depressing reading. Despite all our efforts over the past decades (site protection, farming schemes), wild plants, an essential element of the natural world, are disappearing before our eyes. britishandirishbotany.org/index.php/bi...

Quoting ourselves here, but it’s absolutely insane to us that anyone still uses Twitter. You don't have to. You can just stop. It was a *massive* part of our growth but you can just let it go. However important your business is to you, it's less important than this:

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Does that sound like a delicious process to you? 🫕
Cheese is one of the number one reasons people cite for not being able to go vegan. But when you put it like George Monbiot does, it starts to sound a whole lot less appealing 🧀

Animal agriculture is half ⚖️ of all #climate forcing (W/m2).
Beef, cow cheese & butter are almost 3/4 of all animal ag forcing. More than 1/3 of all climate forcing.
Beef, cow cheese & butter are like all coal and gas combined. Cows are 3 times worse than all private cars in the world.

The first indication that space colonization is fiction is that they’re talking about turning an uninhabitable desert planet into a thriving biosphere while we’re turning our own thriving biosphere into an uninhabitable desert planet.
