What do you think about my office view?
To find a quiet, beautiful spot like this to get things done is a true luxury, with the only interruptions coming from the geese and ducks on the pond.

The words we use to talk about nature are disappearing. Here’s why that matters. We’ll need to do more than ‘touch grass’ to revive them.

Blossoms. Rivers. Moss.

Nature is disappearing from our language and our lives. @grist.org

Cities are the best human habitat. Cities can be delightful.

Cities are where we can be whole, within a group of friends and strangers. Now more than ever we need examples of what healthy, living cities can be.

@urbantruth.bsky.social is a group of city makers, ready to inspire you.

The Great Olympic lie: untold story of Winter Games’ huge environmental impact Rivers drained dry to create artificial snow, a forest cut down for the bobsleigh track – IOC’s claims to prioritise sustainability at Milano Cortina exposed

Heb genoten, maar…

Bossen gekapt voor bobsleebaan. Rivieren bijna droog voor kunstsneeuw. Nieuwe infrastructuur in UNESCO-gebied.

13% bouw echt voor de OS. De rest? Wegen, rails, parkeerplaatsen.

Duurzaamheid als verhaal.
Ecologische schade als realiteit.

Biological, psychological and social health & well-being are interconnected - supporting one is likely to replenish others.
Nature is important for maintaining and fostering health and well-being.
Perceived qualities (e.g., safety) are stronger predictors than setting type (urban, rural etc.).

Society Needs A Doctor’s Prescription For Nature | NOEMA Long treated as a backdrop to human life, the trees, babbling streams and rolling hills of the natural world could actually help repair society’s fraying social fabric.

Oliver Milman for Noema:
“Society needs a doctor’s prescription for nature.”

Drawing on research, environmental neuroscience, history, and personal stories, it makes a compelling case for nature as a way to revive our spirit of common cause.

Zou er niet gewoon zo'n ouderwetse, grootse, avondvullende tv-actie moeten komen voor 'Help Oekraïne deze winter door'?

Nationale Tuinvogeltelling Tel op vrijdag 30, zaterdag 31 of zondag 1 februari 2026 één keer een half uur de vogels in jouw tuin of op je balkon. Meedoen is leuk, gemakkelijk en je helpt de vogels.

Meest gestelde vraag tijdens de Tuinvogeltellingis: hoe voorkom je dubbeltellingen? Als volgt... je telt van een soort het hoogste aantal dat je op 1 moment ziet tijdens het telhalfuur. Dus je ziet 4 vinken en daarna nog 3, dan geef je 4 vinken door en niet 7. www.vogelbescherming.nl/tuinvogeltel...

Accessible sidewalk intersection

12. Open your eyes to whether your city is truly accessible for everyone–every curb cut or lack thereof–for the disabled, people of all ages, & for every parent with a stroller. Find ways to travel a mile in their shoes or chairs, and listen to them. Amplify their voices in calling for improvements.

Often brutal, always beautiful: the sea hounds of the Frisian Islands – in pictures For 10 years, the scientist and photographer Jeroen Hoekendijk has been observing pinnipeds (seals, sea lions and walruses) on the fragile North Sea archipelago. Highly susceptible to warming and rising seas, the islands act as an advance warning sign of the climate crisis
