How is it to be ‘the biggest in the world’ [US} to be left behind.
To be drifting into ‘the biggest loser of the world’ ? No matter… you’re still going to just take it, right ? Those days are gone.
I, for one, applaud African nations going real independent, leaving ages of colonialism and exploitation behind, and going strong.

“Nov 23, 2025
There is a quiet revolution happening across the vast content of Africa. Imports of solar PV panels jumped 60% in the 12 months to June 2025. Millions of microgrids and individual solar installations are now driving the electrification of just about every African nation. But fossil fuels still dominate most existing utility scale grids. So, can the people of Africa by pass the centralised monopolies and drive their own renewable prosperity. Because if they can, they might just save all of us!“

Several ‘American react’ video’s common first reaction was pointing out the chaos in Germany’s Europe. But after a while the reaction become more sensible like: we DO need a car for everything [Duh} and it IS expensive infrastructure.
All because the industry was/is successful in promoting the car as symbol of ‘freedom’.
It’s time for those Americans to come to their senses. They do want to live over there… or do they ?
Time for change. Time to learn. But that's not their strong suit, is it ?

“In this vlog, Flora joins Alfonso and the rest of the AMUS team in southwest Spain for the final release of red kites in this reintroduction project! From checking in on last year's birds to getting this year's group ready to fly, she takes us along for a big milestone moment.
We also look at the behind the scenes work like fixing risky power lines that help give these birds a better chance once they're out in the wild.

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.

"How Singapore’s Urban Design Makes Way for Wildlife | WILD HOPE” [ ± 1-3 min]
by Nature on PBS

youtube.com/watch?v=Jw1b_SviPyU

Quote by NoPBS:
“Dec 1, 2025
How does a densely populated, skyscraper-lined nation like Singapore transform into a lush green oasis where wildlife thrives alongside humans? The island nation’s ambitious vision of becoming a “City in Nature” aims to integrate urban living with biodiversity and requires careful coordination between government leaders, designers of the urban landscape, and its citizens.
By carving out wildlife habitats amidst the built environment, the National Parks Board seeks to prioritize biodiversity in urban planning and bring back species previously wiped out. An architect helping to drive this change is the butterfly-loving Khew Sin Khoon, whose innovative designs have integrated green habitats into Singapore’s airports, institutional buildings, and even hospitals. Also at the forefront are passionate youths Tay Jing Xuan and Lumin Ong, a couple hunting down critical data about their beloved dragonflies to spur conservation efforts, and spreading awareness of how to live alongside wildlife, especially when conflicts with humans occur.
This synergy between bold policies, community action, and biophilic design makes Singapore a unique example of how nature and humans can coexist in harmony.“

In Dutch

"Laten we een einde maken aan het plastictijdperk”
by Greenpeace Nederland

doemee.greenpeace.nl/actie/pla

Quote by GpNl:
“Plastic zit vol met giftige chemicaliën. En plastic is overal. Het schaadt onze gezondheid en het doodt schildpadden, zeevogels en andere dieren. Microplastics zitten in onze lichamen, in het voedsel dat we eten, het water dat we drinken, zelfs in de lucht die we inademen. En we blijven maar plastic produceren. Ook ten koste van het klimaat, want meer dan 99% van plastic wordt gemaakt van fossiele brandstoffen.
We willen dat overheden afspraken met elkaar maken over hoe we een einde maken aan het plastictijdperk. Plastic (van productie tot vervuiling) is een wereldwijd probleem dat schreeuwt om een wereldwijde oplossing. Dit verdrag heeft een enorm potentieel om de wereld richting een plasticvrije toekomst te sturen.

Wij eisen een ambitieus internationaal verdrag dat de productie en het gebruik van plastic beperkt. Dat zou een enorme stap zijn naar een plasticvrije toekomst. Een sterk verdrag zal:
* olie en gas in de grond houden (plastic wordt gemaakt van olie);
* grote bedrijven verplichten hun buitensporige plasticproductie terug te dringen;
* gebruik van wegwerpplastic en schadelijke producten en chemicaliën beëindigen;
* de overstap naar hervul- en hergebruiksystemen razendsnel realiseren;
* rijke landen verplichten de meest getroffen en armere landen te helpen bij de transitie
* mensenrechten en Inheemse rechten vooropstellen.
Teken de petitie waarin we wereldleiders oproepen het wereldwijde probleem van plastic op te lossen door een ‘Global Plastics Treaty’ veilig te stellen.“

Transl.:
“Plastic is full of toxic chemicals. And plastic is everywhere. It damages our health and kills turtles, seabirds and other animals. Microplastics are in our bodies, in the food we eat, the water we drink, even in the air we breathe. And we keep producing plastic. Also at the expense of the climate, because more than 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels.
We want governments to agree on how to end the plastic age. Plastic (from production to pollution) is a global problem that screams for a global solution. This treaty has enormous potential to steer the world towards a plastic-free future.

We demand an ambitious international treaty that limits the production and use of plastic. That would be a huge step towards a plastic-free future. A strong treaty will:
* keep oil and gas in the ground (plastic is made from oil);
* oblige large companies to reduce their excessive plastic production;
* end the use of disposable plastic and harmful products and chemicals;
* realize the switch to refill and reuse systems at lightning speed;
* oblige rich countries to assist the most affected and poorer countries in the transition
* put human rights and indigenous rights first.
Sign the petition calling on world leaders to solve the global plastic problem by securing a ‘Global Plastics Treaty ’.“

Quote by
Mar 14, 2019
Carabao Island, het klinkt als een waar vakantieparadijs. Dat is het echter niet...
Plastic afval zit in onze zeeën en rivieren, in de magen van schildpadden, vissen en dolfijnen, in de bodem en zelfs in ons drinkwater. De crisis in zee is duidelijk. Toch blijven bedrijven nieuw wegwerpplastic maken. Vraag je om een oplossing, dan wijzen ze naar ons, de consumenten, en de politiek.
Maar om het plastic monster in zee te stoppen, is alleen inzamelen en recyclen niet genoeg. We moeten het hele systeem wijzigen, van hoe onze producten zijn gemaakt tot wat er gebeurt als we ermee klaar zijn. Anders is het plastic monster in 2050 4x zo groot als nu.“

Just over a year after releases began, the local population has grown from a handful of animals to more than 30, with the first wild born kits already spotted on camera traps
This progress has been possible thanks to the South Cumbria Pine Marten Recovery Project, led by the University of Cumbria, who received a grant from the European Wildlife Comeback Fund, awarded by Rewilding Europe.”

🌳 Pine martens belong in Cumbria and are cherished by many as an important part of their natural heritage. They support forest health by balancing populations of small mammals and preying on invasive grey squirrels which reduces the spread of squirrel pox virus and allows the native red squirrels to thrive.

#Educational

Beware this is 1) a long video but 2) well worth it.
When discussing the #EnergyTransition people often simplify the general, all important, topic: DEPENDABLE energy systems. What’s the use of ‘clean’ energy if it shuts down every time.
Bearing in mind that it’s all about a transition [changing, evolving and improving] with a end goal still undetermined. Just abolishing one source and hallowing another is too easy [and it never is]. It will take a enormous effort, research [and money] to reach the end goal.
I don’t have to stress the urgency to reach the goal. ‘We’ [humanity] have been procrastinating the inevitable so long that the goal is the only solution against suffocation, is the transition to a clean source of the energy to drive ‘our’ civilization.

You may want to react with that the video is about Australia. Don’t ! ‘cause it is.
I share it only to suggest solutions on the integration. Like Flinders Island [Dutch ‘vlinders’ transl as butterflies].
In my mind ‘we’ should
* all make our own energy, depending only on the grid in an emergency.
* use every possibility of clean energy
* decentralize the political power of the main energy suppliers. Undermine the monopoly !
* we can’t burn things anymore

Put some critical thinking into it in stead of saying ‘can’t’ or ‘ney’ or other dumb shit.
Cause if you don’t think, you’re not worthy of the power.

"How One Nation Cut Its Coal Dependence Faster Than Anyone Expected” [3:10 min]
by Positive Climate News

youtube.com/watch?v=GgCGWGfaADw

Quote by PCN:
“Nov 28, 2025
A country once almost entirely dependent on coal is now undergoing one of the fastest clean-energy transitions anywhere in Europe. In this episode of Positive Climate News, we explore how a former coal stronghold is rapidly transforming its electricity grid — cutting fossil fuels, scaling wind and solar, and accelerating its path toward a cleaner future.
Coal has plunged from overwhelming dominance to record lows. Meanwhile, wind and solar have surged nearly tenfold in just a decade. Policy changes, new investments, and a booming industrial base are reshaping this nation’s energy system far faster than most people realize.
And the best part?
This transition is still speeding up.“

This year, Sea Shepherd launched a record-breaking mission in the Mediterranean, the Octopus Campaign, to protect one of the ocean’s most extraordinary and intelligent animals.
For months, the crew of the Sea Eagle worked tirelessly across Greek waters, exposing destructive fishing practices, rescuing marine life, and defending fragile ecosystems from overfishing.
The result? Our most impactful octopus campaign yet. 💪
This mission was about more than protecting a species; it was about restoring balance to one of the most overexploited seas on Earth and giving a voice to those who can’t speak for themselves.
💙 Join us in celebrating this incredible achievement on World Octopus Day.
Together, we can build a future where octopus and marine life can thrive again.“

In Dutch [Eng translation at the bottom]

"Samen zeggen we: ING, Niet Met Mijn Geld — Milieudefensie” [ ± 1-3 min]
by Milieudefensie

milieudefensie.nl/niet-met-mij

Quote by Md:
“Wat ING met jouw geld doet is onzichtbaar, maar niet bepaald onschuldig. Terwijl jij probeert te sparen voor je toekomst, financiert ING bedrijven die diezelfde toekomst in gevaar brengen: van nieuw olie en gas tot mensenrechtenschendingen. Daarom zeggen we samen: "Niet Met Mijn Geld". Doe je mee? Teken het ultimatum!“
Onze 3 gezamenlijke eisen zijn helder:
ING: stop met ons geld steken in bedrijven die nog nieuwe olie- en gasprojecten starten en die betrokken zijn bij mensenrechtenschendingen, en halveer je uitstoot in lijn met het Parijsakkoord.

1. Stop nieuwe olie- en gasprojecten
Onze eerste eis is dat ING stopt met geld steken in bedrijven die nog nieuwe olie- en gasprojecten starten. Op dit moment heeft ING namelijk nog meer dan 30 miljard(!) euro bij olie- en gasbedrijven uitstaan, waarvan de meeste nog nieuwe fossiele projecten starten. Maar de wetenschap is al jaren helder: we moeten én kunnen het meeste fossiel in de grond laten.

2. Halveer de uitstoot in 2030
Onze tweede eis is dat ING handelt volgens de afspraken in het Klimaatakkoord van Parijs, en zijn uitstoot dus minstens halveert in 2030 en daarna blijft verminderen, in lijn met de wetenschap. Want wij doen ons deel. We fietsen vaker, kopen minder, delen meer. Dan mag ING niet achterblijven. Door miljarden te steken in vervuilende projecten, en daardoor ieder jaar net zoveel uit te stoten als anderhalf keer heel Nederland bij elkáár, maakt de bank het probleem op dit moment alleen maar groter.

3. Geen geld naar mensenrechtenschendingen
Onze derde eis is dat ING stopt met het financieren van bedrijven die betrokken zijn bij mensenrechtenschendingen. Ons geld mag nooit bijdragen aan onderdrukking, vernietiging of onrecht. Toch financiert ING nog bedrijven als Caterpillar, dat bulldozers levert voor sloopwerk in Gaza, en Glencore, die eraan bijdraagt dat elk jaar 6.500 mensen in Indonesië vroegtijdig overlijden door kolencentrales.

Verbeter de wereld, begin bij je bankrekening: Niet met ons geld
Onze Klimaatzaak tegen ING zetten we natuurlijk gewoon voort in de rechtbank, maar jij kan nú iets doen.
Want: als ING over 1 jaar niet aan onze eisen voldoet, stappen we massaal over. Verbeter de wereld, begin bij je bankrekening!
Time’s up. Aan ING de keuze: Koers veranderen, of klanten verliezen?

Transl:
“What ING does with your money is invisible, but not exactly innocent. While you try to save for your future, ING finances companies that endanger the same future: from new oil and gas to human rights violations. That is why we say together: "Not With My Money".
Our 3 joint requirements are clear :. ING: stop putting our money into companies that are still starting new oil and gas projects and that are involved in human rights violations, and halve your emissions in line with the Paris Agreement.
1. Stop new oil and gas projects. Our first requirement is that ING stop investing money in companies that are still starting new oil and gas projects. ING currently still has more than 30 billion (!) euro at oil and gas companies, most of which are still starting new fossil projects. But science has been clear for years: we must and can leave the most fossil in the ground.
2. Halve emissions by 2030. Our second requirement is that ING act in accordance with the agreements in the Paris Climate Agreement, so that its emissions will at least halve in 2030 and continue to decrease thereafter, in line with science. Because we do our part. We cycle more often, buy less, share more. Then ING should not be left behind. By investing billions in polluting projects, and thereby emitting as much every year as one and a half times the whole of the Netherlands at each time, the bank is currently only making the problem worse.
3. No money for human rights violations. Our third requirement is that ING stop financing companies involved in human rights violations. Our money should never contribute to oppression, destruction or injustice. Nevertheless, ING still finances companies such as Caterpillar, which supplies bulldozers for demolition work in Gaza, and Glencore, which contributes to the premature death of 6,500 people in Indonesia by coal-fired power stations every year.
Improve the world, start at your bank account: Not with our money. We will of course continue our Climate Case against ING in court, but you can do something now .. Because: if ING does not meet our requirements in 1 year, we will switch en masse. Improve the world, start with your bank account !. Time's up. ING has the choice: Change course or lose customers?
