This is a cloudless satellite image of the Earth, centered on the Pacific Ocean. To get a single cloudless image, NOAA satellites took photos over eleven ten-day periods and merged them.

Humanity, in spite of current crises, can still regenerate nature, find to more #wellbeing within #planetaryboundaries.
Earth4All lays out such a story. H I V E Initiative interviews me on new strategy for a shared, broad wellbeing. It IS solvable! (but maybe it's easier to keep doomscrolling and despairing in the flood of media alarms, than to actually build a healthy bio-socio-economy Watch and/or read if your curious) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOlzTj1tinw

We all know that it is crucial to tailor your message to your audience. Here is an excellent example from the UN Environment Programme.

This is Blurk. He lives near the beaches of Crimea.

He is shocked Russians still come to Crimea for a beach vacation during a war.

He's not exactly sure what a war is...

Programs like this give us hope. If more schools offered this kind of education, we may be able to avoid the worst of #ClimateBreakdown

Thank you Barcelona for leading the way. You are an inspiration

J'adore ce genre d'actions qui montre la place démesurée que prend la bagnole en ville.

Les automobilistes devraient vraiment remercier les piétons et les cyclistes parce que si tout le monde prenait sa bagnole, ce serait bouchonland 24/7

Noch nie war es einfacher, mit deinen Bundestagsabgeordneten ins (Klima-)Gespräch zu kommen.

Am Tag der Klimademokratie, dem 27. April, wird genau das möglich: "Hallo Bundestag, wir müssen reden. Was ist der Plan für #FossilfreiUndFair?"

In nur wenigen Sekunden kannst du dir deinen Platz in einem von mehr als 70 Gesprächsterminen sichern. Und das Beste daran: Die Gespräche finden alle online statt, so kann jede:r von überall aus dabei sein.

There are so many examples of places where cars were absolutely necessary…until they weren’t.

If you have the option of riding a bike instead of driving a car, be *very* happy --

🚲 You're getting exercise!
🚲 You're enjoying endorphins!
🚲 You're fighting the climate crisis!

Solar energy is doing more than cleaning up our air and reducing carbon pollution - it's also saving money for schools, children, and communities.

But not everyone is on board, especially when you consider the interests of oil and gas shareholders. In this week's newsletter, I highlight how the world's top five energy companies are reaping record profits amidst escalating energy costs and record-breaking subsidies.

And since it's January, I'm sharing three practical New Year's Resolutions that can create a real impact. Discover actionable steps you can take in your daily life, banking choices, and eating habits to make a positive difference.

As always, stay informed, get inspired to act ... and don't forget to share!
