This is why Greenland became so attractive these recent years… “There is still time for the two superpowers to step back from the brink of their latest row over rare earths. These minerals are needed to manufacture most electronics of both the consumer and military sort”

“The architects of today can and should acknowledge and embrace the multi-species collaboration inherent in any ecosystem. We should be just as concerned with whooping crane-centered design, wetlands-centered design, atmosphere-centered design, or even hard-drive-centered design...” Liam Young

Hum… I see, business supervenes over environment in their logic. You can’t be environment-friendly & at the same time you encourage such big projects that are harmful to nature. I confess I never believed in this idea of COP because of this hypocrisy!
Why not using existing infrastructures rather than clearing a part of Amazon rainforest to build what? a… highway!?!?!?!
The recent conflict has devastated Gaza’s already fragile waste collection system. With hundreds of thousands of tons of waste piling up in the streets, health and environmental risks are escalating.

and only allowed locals to live there as registered labourers in low-quality public housing. In Algiers in the 1840s, the French army was only able to subjugate guerrilla resistance by razing entire neighbourhoods, organising the city around new roads and markets instead. 4/…
Also: 3/… You can see similar precedents to the Gaza plan. In Kenya during the 1920s, the British colonial administration demolished “African villages” in and around Nairobi as part of an effort to segregate the city on racial lines, …
