Es gibt die große Chance, dass die Grünen in Baden-Württemberg 1. werden. Und Cem @oezdemir.de Ministerpräsident.

Dafür müssen jetzt aber wirklich alle zur Wahl gehen.

Eure Stimme macht einen großen Unterschied!

No one in this video is real. I made this entire video myself with only my laptop after the kids went to bed the other night. The entire project from conception to video upload and website deployment took less than 24 hours and $200 with AI. Stay on your toes everyone; things are moving quickly.

[PODCAST]

As the first nation to develop a circular economy road map in 2016, Finland has had a head start in trying to develop an economy that’s based on reusing and regenerating materials and products. A lot can be learned from Finland’s experience so far, including challenges and gaps.

This essay traces the long and turbulent history of American booksellers who have faced censorship, harassment, and even violence for defending the freedom to read. Through vivid anecdotes and historical cases-from undercover stings in the early 1900s and legal battles over “obscene” literature, to FBI surveillance of Black bookstores and bomb threats against feminist and LGBTQ+ shops-the author illustrates how bookstores have repeatedly become battlegrounds in the fight for civil liberties and free expression. Despite intimidation from both government and private groups, booksellers have pushed back, shaping legal precedents and rallying communities to defend First Amendment rights. The essay ultimately calls on readers to recognize bookstores as “arsenals of democracy” and to support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom.

Booksellers have faced censorship and harassment defending the freedom to read. Celebrate your local bookstore and support their ongoing role in safeguarding intellectual freedom.

Controlled burns reduce wildfire risk, but they require trained staff and funding − this could be a rough year Uncertainty from Washington along with staff and budget cuts have created turmoil for the US Forest Service’s fire management efforts.

Logging isn't a simple solution for wildfire risk. Clear-cutting can dry out soil and vegetation, potentially increasing fire risk short-term.

Managing forests well requires gathering data on how these forests are changing

Guest column | Why preserving old-growth forests is a complex task The forests constitute a wide range of landscapes with different, often unique, needs for protection, restoration and management.

Forest protection isn't as simple as planting more trees. Old growth forest – forest that has been growing for centuries – is critical to protect.

Scientists Reed Frederick Noss and Carlos Carroll let us in on what it takes to protect them: www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

Thank you, Pope Francis, for your strong leadership in defence of our common home.

A photo of hundreds logs piled up in front of a forrest and some hills with forests in the far background too. There is text overlaid that reads, " Logging doesn’t prevent wildfires, but Trump is trying it anyway."

The Agriculture Department is opening more than 112 million acres of federal forests to logging in a misguided bid to prevent fires and boost timber production.
