"Apr 6, 2025
There’s a major problem with the way our roads and traffic systems are designed—one that’s being overlooked at an enormous cost. The core idea behind how we build our roads, and by extension our towns, cities, and landscapes, is outdated and deeply flawed. What exactly are junk roads? Why have we invested billions, possibly trillions, into them? Si Richardson is on a mission to expose the truth behind the roads we've accepted without question.

"A Street Upgrade in Amsterdam (removing cars)"

Quote by NJB:
"2023, Jun 2
The Frans Halsbuurt in Amsterdam is a neighbourhood in De Pijp which has had almost all street parking removed (only spots for disabled parking and temporary loading still exist). This happened in 2018, but now the city is doing a proper upgrade to make these changes permanent."

"How we're managing seasonal effects at our coral restoration sites"

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Coral reefs are known as “the rainforests of the sea”. These vibrantly complex ecosystems harbour the highest biodiversity of any ecosystem globally. An estimated 25% of all marine species depend on reefs. They are also crucial for millions of people, providing food, livelihoods, resources and coastal protection.
Major threats, such as over-exploitation and climate change, are jeopardising the future of coral reefs. In the last few decades, sharp declines in reef cover have occurred worldwide. This is our first coral reef project to restore damaged reefs in the northern waters of Nusa Penida, Indonesia.
Our long-term goal is to improve resilience by enhancing connectivity of fragmented reefs whilst protecting and preserving endangered coral species. Led by our local team of expert divers and marine biologists passionate about the preservation of this marine ecosystem, we work with local people to promote positive community involvement in coral reef restoration.

769 #ClimateSolutions #Heatpump #UK
This is a reaction to one of the ignorant reactions I had on my 'toot' a few days ago on a post in Dutch.
The [my] post was about a Dutch phenomenom called 'saldering'. Money you get for providing excess solar energy to the grid.
The reaction's first line was a persistent lie:
-"Solar panels + heat pump is also the biggest farce and deception out there."- going on with something like -"When the sun shines you don't need a heat pump, and when you do need one the sun don't shine"-.
Now I could call this one-liner nonsence a 'farce' and 'deception' but I don't want to be mean. I hear this kind of argument so much that it is probably some parrotting of #BigOil propaganda.
I did ask the reationair for some solid arguments for his dissaitisfaction on heatpumps but he never came with a real answer, but for complaining about how 'it' was manged in his country.
Two days later I came upon this video: an actual comparison on the price and use of a heatpump. From his fossil gas boiler heating; heating by heatpump without solar panels and heating with solar panels. Shocker: there's not much difference in the first two, financially speaking [the win is in CO2] The big difference is the option with solar. [A double win in CO2 and for the wallet]
Proving my point in the post that started it all: 'Don't complain that you can't make money no more if you don't use the solar energy to the fullest yourself'.
Solar energy is not a money making machine...
it is a long time investment in your property, a healthy future and, in the long run, FREE electricity.

Curious about the cost-effectiveness of heat pumps during winter? In this video, I share my personal experience and break down the numbers to see if I really saved money with a heat pump this winter. From energy bills to overall performance, I'll give you an honest review of my heat pump's efficiency and whether it's worth considering for your own home. If you're thinking of switching to a heat pump or just want to know more about their benefits and drawbacks, this video is for you!"

Quote by PW:
"Nov 15, 2024
The Mediterranean Sea is in crisis. Once a thriving spot for biodiversity, it is now the most overfished sea in the world and, according to the WWF, is "on the verge of burnout."
Why? Bottom trawling—a destructive fishing method where nets are dragged along the seabed, catching or destroying everything in their path.
For our 21st Planet Wild mission, we're supporting a beautiful and effective method to stop bottom trawling and protect marine life: an underwater sculpture museum.
Many thanks to the five selected artists who donated their work to the museum: Nikolas Maniatakos, Maria Grazia Collini, Abdulkadir Hocaoglu, Stefano Corti, and Giacomo Bernardi.
A special thanks to Greenpeace, Camilla Salghetti, Barbara Farnetani and Santiago Burin Des Roziers for providing us with additional footage."

'Just Stop Oil to Stop Direct Action Protests'
So where are we at?
Demand 1: No New Oil and Gas Licences – WON!
Demand 2: Just Stop Oil by 2030.
We need a Fossil Fuel Treaty.
Carry on emitting today and hope at some future date huge carbon sucking technology will solve the problem. Yet we know carbon is killing today, and global emissions are still rising.
Oil is more valuable than our culture, our heritage, our bodies. More valuable than the beautiful web of life on earth, more valuable than home."

"Nov 13, 2024
According to the World Meteorological Organisation, 2024 is on track to be the hottest year on record. As sea levels rise and extreme weather conditions worsen we must ask ourselves: can we restore earth's stability?
Dr Johan Rockström, Director, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, believes that we can, but to do so we must all become stewards of the planet. Watch his keynote speech, recorded live from #OYW24, to hear the science behind how we can save our planet."

Right now, Britain's energy market is broken. We waste billions switching wind turbines off and overpaying gas generators, and our people pay some of the highest energy bills in Europe. The government is considering reform to help fix this: local or 'zonal' pricing."

Quote by MEFN:
"Mar 27, 2025
In this vlog, Flora talks about the work being done to tackle illegal poisonings and boost the survival chances of released Red kites, with the goal of creating a stable population in the Iberian peninsula."
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
The red kite (Milvus milvus), an iconic, graceful raptor has had a turbulent relationship with people over the centuries, from once being praised to almost going extinct in the UK. Translocated Spanish red kites saved UK populations last century but now their Spanish cousins are in severe trouble. This project is reinforcing the southernmost populations through reintroducing 120-130 red kites from the UK to Extremadura in Spain, over a 4-year period.
