…sejam vistas como “pequenas”. Mais floresta de produção não significa mais pessoas fixas nos territorios. E nao sao 300 milhoes para rebanhos ao longo de cinco anos que vao mudar o panorama. Sobretudo quando deixamos de ter a unica lavadora de lã no país…
Pena que as medidas que foram desenvolvidas no passado, e que funcionaram, não sejam vistas como opção. Apresentar um plano sem espaço à regeneração e à floresta autoctone, com a introdução de apoio a práticas agro florestais regenerativas, criando os mosaicos necessàrios e que fixem as pessoas…
Listen to AOC. Repost ad infinitum. Call your Representative (202-224-3121).
This didn’t aged well.
Pope Francis’ tweets on climate change, sustainability, etc.
I remember how important it was when Pope Francis posted these messages on Twitter back in 2015. Passionate messages on sustainability, #climatechange & equity. @pontifexes.bsky.social #LaudatoSi #PopeFrancis
@kateraworth.bsky.social today is a good day for some donuting 😁
New research 🏭📈:
Bitcoin mines in the U.S. used more electricity in 2022 than all of Los Angeles combined.
But who breathed the air pollution from generating all that electricity?
Our answer: mostly people in New York City, Houston / Austin, NE Texas, and IL / KY border.

Half of EU steel production is still reliant on coal blast furnaces and transition plans are urgently needed for those without a retirement date.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
Va la que nao levaste nenhuma motoserra (adorei a intervenção btw)
Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.
“The courts have no mechanism to enforce their orders other than through the United States Marshals Service, and that's through the Department of Justice, thus through the executive branch.”
Fatality.
What is happening? Why are we so passive in the face of such a wave of pushback on essential societal and environmental goals? Are we at the bottom? Or is it possible to drop even lower?
«Research collaborators from the Catholic University of Portugal placed F11 in sealed flasks with no carbon source aside from 10,000 micrograms per liter of PFAS. (...) analysis revealed that F11 had degraded some of the PFAS.»
Excited to announce this new article, a comprehensive review of recent research on post-growth — the science of wellbeing within planetary boundaries. Published in the Lancet Planetary Health with a brilliant team of authors. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Is building in green areas - as decided by the Portuguese Government - really a solution to tackle the #housing crisis ?
Experts say no, and stress that there are "far more sensible ways" to do so without harming #nature.
Critics say this is an excuse to build more homes for the rich. More 👇
Brasil: dados da plataforma do MapBiomas revelam que mais de 20,9 milhões de hectares foram queimados entre Janeiro e Dezembro de 2024. Um aumento de 79%. Mais da metade da área queimada fica na Amazónia. 🔥
Graphic comparison of Paris air quality from 2007 to 2022, 15 years. Leadership. #Paris #AnneHidalgo
Paris was smart to initially brand @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s strategic steps around urban biking & walking, greening, place-making and kid-friendly streets as solutions to URBAN POLLUTION, something people understood. It worked, dramatically improving air quality. But they did MUCH more than that.
…and Dune, off course
This was the movie that made me discover David Lynchs work. Sad with news of his loss.
Sinto falta de um programa de discussão que possa fazer um dialogo sobre os temas atuais sob a lente da sustentabilidade. Em Portugal, não conheço. Alguém tem sugestões?
I sincerely hope that bluesky does not loose momentum. Right now its the only place we can at least have a resemblence of a discussion.
Are we done yet?
Feliz ano novo!
De olhos postos no horizonte.
Best book I read this year.
