How we Made a Global Impact in One Day - https://videos.trom.tf/w/hHmEdTrtS7PwqqDmrcfZxX by @Dima

This system of trade incentivizes more people to waste plastic and pollute, than use it wisely or cleanup like these people do. Ultimately we need to deal with this bad and global incentive because the balance is tilted in the wrong way.

@Dima continues to be brave to act. Maybe he will inspire some of you! Great job Dima! And yes, shocking to see how much garbage is hidden beneath the water...

Bonjour, c'est Lancy, agglomération de Genève, 4ème ville la plus riche du monde. Comme on a toujours aucune volonté de limiter les bagnoles et qu'on a mis votre skatepark sous ET entre deux 2x2 voies, mais qu'on est quand même au courant que la pollution de l'air c'est mortel, on vous prévient, utilisez le pas.
Bon en même temps vous êtes des skateurs, on aurait certainement pas mis un golf ou un terrain de tennis ici.
Bisou.

Un affichage de la ville où il est écrit : "Avis important, le skatepark de la praille est soumis à des émissions excessives de dioxyde d'azote lorsque le trafic motorisé est intense. La ville conseille aux utilisatrices et utilisateurs du skatepark de privilégier les heures où la circulation est modérée.

Look at this....just a few hours at the beach collecting plastic. At one of the most clean beaches around, that they clean almost daily:

It is terrible....

Expedia CEO Peter Kern has led the online travel agency for three years, from its pandemic nadir to the post-COVID surge in travel. With that experience, one trend he says he doesn’t see changing anytime soon is people traveling like there’s no tomorrow. What’s more, he says, people talk a good talk about climate change angst but are not modifying their behavior much

The priority should therefore not be to replace every car with its electric equivalent but rather to rethink mobility in general

It’s true that fully electric vehicles do not emit waste products but the batteries that supply energy to the vehicle are made of minerals like lithium and cobalt which have an impact on climate change.

And those mines have incredible environmental and health impacts in the places that they exist

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz & online @NZStuff www.stuff.co.nz

Cyclists! Pesky buggers - using no fuel, needing no WOF's, getting fitter, not going excessively fast on motorways, not ploughing into front rooms or bedrooms whilst people sleep... sheesh! How dare they?!

#ClimateCrisis #NewZealand #Aotearoa #EditorialCartoon #PoliticalCartoon #Cyclist #Pollution
Cartoon title: BIKE LANE BULLIES  A giant monster truck 4X4 pumping out poisonous fumes with an exceptionally angry white male driving with veins on his head and face ready to explode sidling up to a cyclist. He's shouting out his window with a raised fist, "YOU'RE A BLOODY MENACE TO SOCIETY!"  On the footpath a guy and his little girl ride a bike. Casually. Calmly. Going about their business and day not interfering with the driver or anyone else. The self entitlement of the driver is on full show.


Deep-sea mining… 🤔

Sure, why not? Every other industry we’ve tried has made money for capitalists, had no side effects, and never caused problems. Right?
_____________________

Interest in deep-sea mining for copper, cobalt, zinc, manganese and other valuable metals has grown substantially in the last decade and mining activities are anticipated to begin soon. Deep-sea mining poses significant risks, not only to the area immediately surrounding mining operations but also to the water hundreds to thousands of feet above the seafloor, threatening vast midwater ecosystems.

POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON SEA LIFE:
Respiratory distress

Biodiversity loss


This article is sickening to read. It perfectly encapsulates the disgusting horror of consumer capitalism at its very worst while presenting the stark difference in reality between the Global North and South.

Siberia swelters in record-breaking temperatures amid its ‘worst heat wave in history’

(CNN) — Dozens of heat records have fallen in Siberia, as temperatures climbed above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.7 Celsius).

Despite only being early June, records are tumbling across parts of Siberia as extreme heat pushes into unusually high latitudes
