Since 2009, Food Forward has been on a mission to fight two big issues that shouldn't be coexisting in a well-functioning society: hunger and food waste. This non-profit organisation from Los Angeles is bringing surplus fruits and vegetables to people in situations of food insecurity across 12 California counties and six adjacent states, including tribal lands. That is key when 1 in 9 Californians lacks adequate access to food. That’s nearly 4 million people, oh and all of this while 40% of the food produced in the US is wasted. Food Forward's impact is amazing. It is based in the region that receives and ships the most food in the U.S and it has built an extensive recovery network that enables it to support food distribution partners on a local and a nationwide scale. The organisation aggregates pallets and truckloads of surplus produce from growers and shippers in Southern California and farmer's markets that might otherwise go to waste they also organize huge gleaning operations "backyard harvests". In June it reached a milestone in June of 250 million pounds (a bit less than 114 million kgs) or 1 billion servings, of fresh produce recovered and donated to food-insecure communities. The organisation has partnered with many of over 350 of Southern California’s best hunger relief organizations, working with food banks, homeless outreach, domestic violence shelters, transitional youth homes, veteran services and many more. During the pandemic, their mission has been even more crucial and since 2020, Cherokee Nation residents have been able to access produce at two Talequah community centres that receive fruits and vegetables from Vegan Outreach and its partner, Food Forward, fresh products they wouldn't be able to get access to generally. I needed this story to end my Monday on a "positive" note, the work of this organisation is fantastic and should teach us many lessons about how much food is wasted and ignored by a big part of the population while too many are going hungry. https://foodforward.org/

Just Earth are doing great things to farmers in East Africa through their good project that still help farmers to plant trees too and taking care of environment that helps to fight climate change too. ....To establish a project founded on Kingdom principles that could be replicated easily in other areas in Kenya and further afield. Ensuring the land could produce enough food to feed families and have enough leftover to sell so that the local farmer would not have to leave for the city. The result would be a sustainable increase in the economic wealth, social stability, and long-term health of the region. https://www.justearth.org/november-2020-update/

Have you noticed a certain tendency to homogeneity in the mainstream media when it comes to climate experts? Ayesha Tandon, climate science journalist at Carbon Brief is giving chilling numbers: 📝In the 100 most highly cited climate science papers published over 2016-20. 👨🔬 90% of authors were from the global north 🌍 Under 1% of authors were from Africa The Reuters Hot List” ranked the 1,000 “most influential” climate scientists. Scientists from the global south are vastly under-represented in the list, with, for example, only 5 African scientists included. Meanwhile, only 122 of the 1,000 authors are female. (very enlightening article here: https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-the-lack-of-diversity-in-climate-science-research) So, are there no experts from the Global South? Yes, there are. But they are facing more obstacles to getting their voices heard. Carbon Brief and the Oxford Climate Journalism Network have teamed up to create a new database to change that. The “Global South Climate Database” will be a publicly available, searchable database of climate scientists and experts in the fields of climate science, climate policy and energy to help journalists from all over the world contact scientists and experts from Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific. It lists each person’s area of expertise, institutional affiliation, contact details and other relevant information. A fantastic tool for media to improve the diversity in their climate reporting. Are you a scientist or expert from the Global South, add yourself to the database ⬇ it should be available to the media in two months. https://www.carbonbrief.org/global-south-climate-database/ https://twitter.com/AyeshaTandon/status/1561753748820660229

The rainforests of Sumatra are some of the last remaining in the world, and the only place where elephants, tigers, rhinos and orangutans live together. But they’re being intentionally burned and bulldozed to clear forest for Conflict Palm Oil and pulp plantations – a big problem for both the health of local communities, the rainforests, and for our climate. One of the biggest culprits in Indonesia is the Royal Golden Eagle (RGE) group that controls millions of acres of land used for both pulp and palm oil production. Despite RGE’s track record of mass deforestation, fires, community conflicts and human rights abuses, Kao still sources palm oil from RGE and maintains a joint-venture with its palm oil arm APICAL. By doing so, Kao is complicit in destroying livelihoods of Indigenous communities such as the Pargamanan-Bintang Maria community.

There are 1 billion car drivers around the world. Why is there no talk of cutting the top speed to the optimum for fuel consumption/emissions to 80km/hr. This would be a great first step that could cut up to 1 billion tonnes of CO2 in a year. This would be measurable by each driver and each country and provide the success needed to encourage even further cuts in consumption.

🚨 Lake Peñuelas is dying because of the climate crisis. 🚨 Lake Peñuelas was one of the main sources of water supply for the Valparaíso region, in central Chile. But twelve years of low rainfall and the catastrophic winter of 2021, the driest in the last century, have dried up this pond into almost a desert. In the picture taken by AFP you can see thousands of skeletons of silversides and carp fish, common in this place, where residents remember that until recently they could extract specimens up to 30 centimetres and more than a kilo in weight. Hundreds of specimens of seagulls, herons and birds try to survive on the tiny surface where there is still water. According to the latest report from the Sanitary Company of Valparaíso (Esval), the volume of Peñuelas - which until recently was the main water reserve in the region's urban area - barely reaches 170,000 cubic meters, which represents 0. 2% of its total capacity of 95 million cubic meters. "In reservoirs like Peñuelas, wet years and dry years followed one another, but when you've been below the average for 12 years, those reservoirs have no longer the chance to fill up again. So, year after year they have lost volume," explains James McPhee director of the Advanced Center for Water Technologies (CAPTA). https://www.france24.com/es/minuto-a-minuto/20220322-importante-estanque-de-chile-agoniza-tras-a%C3%B1os-de-sequ%C3%ADa

Chile's new President Gabriel Boric is already taking great climate action and breaking free from the former President's heritage by signing the Acuerdo de Escazú (or Escazú Agreement) today together with the Environment Minister Maisa Rojas, and the Foreign Affairs Minister Antonia Urrejola. The Escazú Agreement is the most important environmental treaty in Latin America so it's a strong signal for the Boric Government to put its focus on this so rapidly. It emerged from the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), is the first legally binding instrument in the world to include provisions on environmental human rights defenders and is also the first environmental agreement adopted in Latin America and the Caribbean. Significantly, one of its main provisions includes recognising the right of present and future generations to live in a healthy environment. Even though Chile was one of the ones behind this agreement with Costa Rica and during the Bachelet Government, the previous Government of Pinera chose to not ratify the agreement, arguing that it could expose its sovereignty in international courts. https://twitter.com/MMAChile/status/1504815393323556876

On April 4 and after four years of work, Chile's environment minister Maisa Rojas announced the creation of the Chile Nature Fund (Fundación Fondo Naturaleza Chile) a public-private foundation that aims to mobilize and channel resources for large-scale nature conservation in Chile. The Chile Nature Fund Foundation is the first national institution for the mobilization of resources for biodiversity conservation, the public and private stakeholders behind this initiative emphasize that this new organization will be able to strengthen the protection of Chile's unique and diverse nature including the fight against climate change and desertification, thus contributing to changing the current situation, in which Chile is one of the 10 countries that dedicate the least funding to conservation in the entire world. world, when taking into account its GDP and rich biodiversity. “The Chile Nature Fund seeks to replicate a successful financing model for conservation that has already been widely validated internationally. The environmental funds that exist in 19 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have managed to strategically and transparently channel more than $1.4 billion dollars towards conservation activities and projects in the last 30 years", explained the Minister of the Environment, Maisa Rojas. Good news for Chile and Latin America! https://laderasur.com/estapasando/se-lanza-el-fondo-naturaleza-chile-organizacion-que-movilizara-financiamiento-para-la-conservacion-de-la-biodiversidad/

(PLEASE SHARE!) I recently visited the Maldives and was disappointed to learn that the government’s actions on climate and sustainability fall far short of their words. The Maldives islands are blessed with around 2700-2800 hours of sunshine per year, and are literally surrounded by potential wave and wind energy. In 2009, recognizing that the country is literally disappearing beneath rising seas, President Mohamed Nasheed unveiled a plan to make the country carbon-neutral by 2020. Yet solar panels are scarce (we saw some in New Malé but not elsewhere), and a planned wave energy system was never built. In 2019, 99.59% of electricity was generated by burning oil, mostly expensive diesel fuel. I was told the Maldives has an arrangement with Saudi Arabia to import oil for all their power needs, and the sustainability movement was buried by apathy and corruption. The senseless and financially expensive reliance on imported diesel fuel is one of many poor practices. Trash is piled up and burned, and plastic bottles and other garbage are cast or washed into the sea. Much of this garbage piles up on the islands and reefs (see photo)--I was told this comes from other islands in the Maldives, not from other countries as I had assumed. This is one of the sadder examples of governments not following through on sustainability commitments. Words are not actions. Can anything be done?

Thank you Ted for raising these concerns. You have inspired us to join this platform with your post ! It is a well known fact that Maldives is on the frontline of the global climate crisis. Our politicians have been making a lot of noise about our vulnerability at international fora, and at home for the purpose of getting international attention (eg. underwater cabinet meeting, 2009). https://www.reuters.com/article/us-maldives-environment-idUSTRE59G0P120091017 But unfortunately, we have to agree with you about the absence of real #ClimateAction by all governments and State authorities, and the reality that business as usual continues unchecked. Maldives has been extremely reluctant and very slow to adopt renewable energy options in our communities and have failed to choose alternatives for oil for many years. We believe the transition to solar could be very doable in the small island communities of the Maldives, and the energy hungry tourist resorts too! There are some folks trying to make a difference, but policy remains extremely poor and a possible barrier to progress in this area. Meanwhile, government is spending an eyewatering amount of public debt funds on destructive reclamation projects using foreign debt. A current example is the government's decision to spend millions of dollars of public debt, which will destroy an entire atoll. The crazy thing is that Addu Atoll was declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 2020! Here's our petition calling on the authorities to stop the project (since 2021). https://www.change.org/p/maldives-people-s-majlis-saveaddu-biosphere-reserve-maldives Here's our joint-letter by CSOs to the Maldives parliament, asking them to intervene and stop this destructive project (31 March 2022). https://savemaldives.net/addu-ecocide/ We cannot understand why public funds are not being used for clean energy, and clean public transport in the congested and clogged up city of Male' where pollution is a real public health issue. The issue of corruption is definitely a major concern, especially in the largest industry, the tourism sector. This has been well documented by the OCCRP. https://www.occrp.org/en/paradiseleased/ The reluctance to adopt renewables in the Maldives could be an area that a good investigative journalist could perhaps unearth the root causes of, which is also a weak area in the country. These are issues that impede progress towards real and urgently needed climate action. The waste issue is another major nationwide problem in the Maldives. Thank you once again for sharing your concerns about the lack of climate action in the Maldives, which drive our activism too ! #SaveMaldives Campaign

Hammered by climate change and relentless deforestation, the Amazon rainforest is losing its capacity to recover and could irretrievably transition into savannah, with dire consequences for the region and the world, according to a study published Monday. Researchers warned that the results mean the Amazon could be approaching a so-called "tipping point" faster than previously understood. Analysing 25 years of satellite data, researchers measured for the first time the Amazon's resilience against shocks such as droughts and fires, a key indicator of overall health. This has declined across more than three-quarters of the Amazon basin, home to half the world's rainforest, they reported in Nature Climate Change. In areas hit hardest by destruction or drought, the forest's ability to bounce back was reduced by approximately half, co-author Tim Lenton, director of the University of Exeter's Global Systems Institute, told AFP. "Our resilience measure changed by more than a factor of two in the places nearer to human activity and in places that are driest," he said in an interview. Climate models have suggested that global heating—which has on average warmed Earth's surface 1.1 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels—could by itself push the Amazon past a point of no return into a far drier savannah-like state. If carbon pollution continues unabated, that scenario could be locked in by mid-century, according to some models. "But of course it's not just climate change—people are busy chopping or burning the forest down, which is a second pressure point," said Lenton. "Those two things interact, so there are concerns the transition could happen even earlier." Besides the Amazon, ice sheets on Greenland and the West Antarctic, Siberian permafrost loaded with CO2 and methane, monsoon rains in South Asia, coral reef ecosystems, and the Atlantic ocean current are all are vulnerable to tipping points that could radically alter the world as we know it. Deforestation in Brazil has surged since far-right President Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019, hitting a 15-year high last year. Global fallout Deforestation in Brazil has surged since far-right President Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019, hitting a 15-year high last year. Scientists reported recently that Brazil's rainforest—60 percent of the Amazon basin's total—has shifted from a "sink" to a "source" of CO2, releasing 20 percent more of the greenhouse gas into the atmosphere over the last decade than it absorbed. Terrestrial ecosystems worldwide have been a crucial ally as the world struggles to curb CO2 emissions. Vegetation and soil globally have consistently absorbed about 30 percent of carbon pollution since 1960, even as emissions increased by half. "Savannification" of the Amazon would be hugely disruptive, in South America and across the globe. Some 90 billion tonnes of CO2 stored in its rainforest—twice worldwide annual emissions from all sources—could be released into the atmosphere, pushing global temperatures up even faster. Regionally, "it's not just the forests that take a hit", said Lenton. "If you lose the recycling of rainfall from the Amazon, you get knock-on effects in central Brazil, the country's agricultural heartland." Ominously, the new findings marshall data pointing in the same direction. "Many researchers have theorised that a tipping point could be reached," said co-author Niklas Boers, a professor at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. "Our study provides vital empirical evidence that we are approaching that threshold." The Amazon basin in home to half the world's rainforest. When you're sure, it's too late To assess change in the resilience of the rainforest, Lenton, Boers and lead author Chris Boulton from Exeter University analysed two satellite data sets, one measuring biomass and the other the "greenness" of the canopy. "If too much resilience is lost, dieback may become inevitable—but that won't become obvious until the major event that tips the system is over," said Boers. There may be a "saving grace" that could pull the Amazon back from the brink. "The rainforest naturally has a lot of resilience—this is a biome that weathered the ice ages, after all," said Lenton. "If you could bring the temperature back down again even after passing the tipping point, you might be able to rescue the situation." "But that still puts you in the realm of massive carbon dioxide removal, or geoengineering, which has its own risks." Just under 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest—straddling nine nations and covering more than five million square kilometres (two million square miles)—has been destroyed or degraded since 1970, mostly for the production of lumber, soy, palm oil, biofuels and beef. https://phys.org/news/2022-03-amazon-nears-climate-faster.html

At this point the Amazon is a lost paradise... it's been left in a very destitute state by individuals and companies who have minted huge profits from it at the expense of it's very many merits in relation to tackling the climate crisis.Slashing the Amazon down has instead become a source of carbon emissions rather than a carbon sink hub.⚠️

These words and pictures reached me this morning from one of our Ukrainian staff members in Kharkiv. What is happening in Ukraine is devastating in so many ways. But for us at We Don’t Have Time, it is also horrifying on a much closer and personal level. Seven members of our tech team are Ukrainians. That’s roughly 1/4 of the We Don’t Have Time staff. Based in – and working from – Ukraine, these colleagues of ours have done and are still doing a tremendous job in developing our app and all of its functions. Now they’re stuck in a war zone – while still trying to work. In this acute phase of the crisis, one of the fastest and most effective ways to help them and their fellow countrymen is through organizations working on the ground in Ukraine. Therefore, we would kindly ask you – our partners, members, and followers – to donate money to the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, earmarked for the crisis in Ukraine. By using this link, your donation will also be doubled. The Swedish billionaire Roger Akelius and his foundation have committed to match every UNHCR donation fundraised via Sweden in March. The invasion of Ukraine is not a conflict between countries, it is a conflict between people and corrupt leaders financed by fossil oil and gas. The right thing to do is stop financing those leaders by going fossil-free. This will also save us from planetary breakdown, as described in yesterday's alarming IPCC report. Because while the war rages on, so does the climate crisis. If you believe in a fossil-free future, just as I do, please create, agree on, and share climate reviews on our platform. It is an easy and effective way to make a difference. // Ingmar Rentzhog, founder & ceo WeDontHaveTime.org

They prioritise their monetary agendas first and foremost (the fundamental business-as-usual problem). This is why too many industry "leaders", that are epistemologically business people, and politicians, that are also epistemologically business people (i.e., a state of mind. i.e., perception. i.e., a general attitude); generally promote political ideas related to keeping themselves in government whilst supporting their business interests. These personal interests ( motivated reasoning) often means they spread implicit misinformation or disinformation (e.g., greenwash). In general, they simply are not aware of the information relevant to protecting the Planet Earth's Biosphere ("saving the Planet"). Furthermore, due to human knowledge about death, some politicians and business people are not motivated to consider the form of politics and business that will help to protect the Planet's Biosphere, because they believe climate change won't affect them (e.g., they are simply motivated to continue "business as usual". i.e., selfish. e.g., politicians signing fossil fuel contracts) I've been aware that human activities were harming the planet's environment for approximately thirty years. During this time, trying to discuss environmental issues with most adults was, generally, pointless. This is because it's not possible to reason with someone that is using a different form of motivated reasoning. Before I studied biology and ecology, in general, I used more emotive narratives to try and "change hearts and minds". For an example of the method, I often used: "your polluting your own children & detroying their future!" It was only after I've studied the science of psychology, that I understood why this "changing hearts and minds" method, didn't usually change adults minds ( e.g., cognitive dissonance) Once I'd self-educated and graduated with a conservation biology degree, it became clear that the majority of people I spoke to about environmental subjects, did not understand and also didn't seem to care. This is when I was motivated to try and find out more about human psychology because some things did not make sense. For example, These people (population statistically speaking) went to work, to earn money so as to, for example, buy food for their families. In other words, they demonstrated they cared in other ways (motivated reasoning) Once I'd developed the logic to not let my emotions cloud my reasoning, I came to release, that in general, people do not understand Science. Or, they "cherry-pick" some scientific narratives & maybe also "cherry-pick" the science they want to understand. That's why, for example, families with young children will happily sit around the campfire, & even when the children wake up with a cough in the morning, the adults do not (understand) associate the cause of that coughing with the wood smoke the children inhaled the night before. From a scientific perspective, it's known that inhaling wood smoke is as harmful as inhaling tobacco smoke ( i.e., depending on the level of exposure. e.g., wood smoke is more toxic than tobacco smoke). Generally, people are motivated by the emotive aspects of sitting around a warm fire, their reasoning is also only to enjoy sitting around a warm fire (what's missing is the knowledge of the medical evidence). Information motivated reasoning. These families did not have a reason to not enjoy sitting around a warm campfire. Furthermore, it was usually impossible for me to explain the reason why inhaling wood smoke is a bad idea, because they did not have the background knowledge ( & they were far more motivated to prefer their campfire than hear my bad "news"). This article isn't specifically about the severe health hazards of air pollution, I used the campfire as an example of how it's not always possible to explain the research findings of biology or ecology because people won't understand ( unless they have some of the background information). There is also another type of motivated reasoning why people may not want to listen to the advice from others, pride!. I have posted a scientifically referenced article that tries to explain the science including medical evidence related to smoke exposure, using more colloquial terms (non-science terms). The following also describes the known science using more colloquial terms, it's the general history of humans (homo-sapiens). Whilst this narrative could have many, sub-narratives, this article generally attends to the most important matter at hand. And that is the conservation (protection) & restoration of our Planet's biosphere (ecosystems). Good decisions require ordered priorities, from most to least important. Many moons ago (or sun risers or millions of years ago. i.e., Earth orbits around a Star, the Sun), the ancestral group that evolved to be present day homo sapiens lived-in small hunter-gatherer communities (a few of their descendants, i.e., present-day humans, still do live in hunter-gatherer cultures). In many ways, these "peoples" lived lifestyles not that different from our own. In general, they awoke to daylight and tended to the needs of their young and old. They went out to work, but their jobs were hunting (non-human animals) and gathering (plants, fungi to eat & non-edible resources such as wood for their fires) Listen to episode 132 of "The common descent" podcast for more background information about the facts, for example, fossils, that have contributed to the theory of human evolution. To quote "Mary and Louis Leakey are two of the biggest names in the history of paleoanthropology and human evolution, and they’re one of history’s most impressive scientific duos. In this episode, our special guest takes us through the tales of the Leakey’s most important scientific work, their personal lives, and the ongoing impact they’ve had on modern science." It's not possible to say what these hunter-gather-cultures socio-political systems were (i.e., what social rules they may have had), because they left no written records (though they did leave stone tools). However, we do know they were hominids (fossils that shared many of the same characteristics as present-day humans) so they, in general, shared the same anatomy and physiology as we do now (e.g., skeleton, forward-facing eyes, hands, etc). I write "we do now" because fundamentally we were these peoples, we are their descendants ( with a "few" mutations. i.e., inherited DNA), and they were our ancestors. Because their fossils indicate, they, generally, shared the same DNA as modern humans (generally speaking). What has changed more than our biology, since that time, are the technologies in our culture (in most parts of the world). Our ancestors "talked" (communicated using sounds) to one another, rather than posted messages or "twittered". The idea of a computer was million[s] of years away. Maybe our prehistoric ancestors did count objects using other methods ( e.g., birds can be logical), we can only speculate because there is no direct evidence one way or another. However, & In general, we continue to awake in daylight, tend to the needs of our young and old. We head out to work, but our Jobs are now far more varied. Those jobs may be farming non-human animals for food or cultivating plants, fungi & non-edible resources. Some peoples "gathering" may be going to the shops (stores) to purchase wood for their, not comparably modern, fires. It's amazing how much has changed and how much has not changed in that time (millions of years). What has massively changed are our technologies (for some) & science (understanding. For some), what hasn't massively changed are our behaviours (DNA). Of course, our socio-political systems (laws, etc) & socioeconomic systems mean many aspects of our more primal instincts have been mitigated. In the most fortunate cultures (countries) socio-pathological brutes can't persecute the masses & our agricultural systems provide more than enough food for everyone (e.g., we waste food). However! In a "nutshell", if it were not for human activity (e.g., deforestation, pollution, mono-agricultural farming i.e., ecocide business practices), the general ecological health of the terrestrial & aquatic (streams, rivers & oceans) areas of the planet, would be in a far better state of ecological health. There would be more fauna, in other words, wildlife, & flora, in other words, plants and fungi. It's also probable that the species humans have driven to extinction would exist. So, someone may ask, what's gone wrong? and how do we make things right? In general, it’s our political and economic systems that are causing the ecological emergency. In other words, ecocide businesses and politicians know no better than ecocide business as usual. And they are habitual animals that are often motivated by instincts rather than logic. Many of whom have no perception that their animals! ( theory of mind. Their unknown unknowns) What's wrong is that there is (in many cultures) an influential rich minority ingroup of people (crony capitalism, corporatocracy. E.g., billionaires) that tend to be motivated to spend the nation's resources (money, etc) within their minority in-groups, rather than sharing those resources with the general population (the commons, as in general population). In theory, they could keep their status quo indefinitely, in practice, their business methods are undermining the fabric of our planet’s ecology. The richer minority do this in ways that also use disinformation to control & regulate the general population (e.g., greenwash), so they can keep making money in their business-as-usual ways (e.g., fossil fuels and wood fuels). Whilst we can judge that for what it is, ask yourself this question, within the current capitalist system, if you'd been born into money or got rich some other way, would you be willing to make less money? ( people's motivated reasons to, for example, vote for business-as-usual politics) Capitalism is an economic system, nothing more, nothing less. In general, capitalism is an economic system where we compete for the resources of the planet, whilst socialism is an economic system where we share the resources of the planet. Humanity has never had a truly social system where the goods and services are owned by all! (We find sharing, problematic) We've had capitalist systems (a rich minority) that were pseudo-socialist. Maybe that's why socialism is often misconstrued, & criticised by that richer minority, that feels threatened that socialism will take away their stuff (e.g., their bling!). However, socialism or capitalism are not "dirty" words. They're economic tools. "Social" generally infers being cooperative. A win-win. In other words, cooperative altruism. In other words, not trying to win by defeating the opposition. Trying to win by defeating the opposite is a win-lose. Someone wins and, by default, someone must then lose. Social "ownership" refers to everyone owning the products and services of our culture (& I’d suggest, with a right to privacy caveat, for good mental health) Within the context of ecology, we need an economic system that motivates us to have the reason to protect our planet's natural systems (more alive, than dead). Capitalism, whilst it has certainly benefited many (me included), and not many others, seems to be failing at that "mission-critical" task. Maybe it was simply just too early for socialism to work? In theory, it sounded good, or rather sharing the goods of the commons, yet in practice, it lacked an effective management plan. However, things change, especially our technologies. What has been the biggest change in modern times? a tool that is brilliant for sharing information! if that information is regulated by a peer-reviewed methodology. And the peers are regulated by a methodology that increases the probability of successful outcomes (i.e., being right!). The worldwide web! (management), cooperative altruism (social) and science (regulation) that leaves more free time for fun (Art) As for music. Music is a form of management (physical control. i.e., dance), social activity (or alone) and science (maths and music technologies) and art (imagination) What's not to like about that sustainable plan? Well, at least in theory, some rich and influential humans may disagree. However, the “get rich quick by scheming plan” (business-as-usual) of digging up and burning fossil fuels and burning the wood of forests isn’t a comparably intelligent plan when you really think about it! In other words, when any person of good ethical values considers the science of ecology, conservation biology, climatology, etc, the business-as-usual plan is an ecocide plan. Therefore, there are two logically deduced behavioural psychological options to choose from within the context of what is the motivated reasoning behind the ecocide plan (the business-as-usual plan). 1. They do not consider (understand) the science of ecology, conservation biology, climatology, human biology, etc? 2. They're sociopaths? ( Alcohol won't remedy that, quite the opposite) It took me quite a while to work out which one of these options had to be generally true. The truth came to me whilst observing a local farmer light a bonfire upwind from his family’s home. As I watched the wood smoke engulfing the house, I thought to myself? (As you do), what kind of man would poison his own families air? Was the man a crazy sociopath? I was asking the wrong type of question! The right question to ask is, in general, what type of caring human would poison their own families air? And the answer to that question is option 1! They do not consider (understand) the science of ecology, conservation biology, climatology, human biology, etc. And that’s what makes them dangerously ignorant! But ignorance can be corrected (e.g., self-education). If only they were not so dam greenwashed either by others monetary agendas or their own monetary agenda’s. For your information, that does not mean that some, for example, rich fossil fuel or wood fuel CEO’s or politicians may be aware that business-as-usual is an ecocide plan. In every population, there are some socio-pathological temperaments. Some just happen to be rich!. For example, they may not care because they think they will be dead by the time the worst happens (i.e., selfish). What it does mean is that there is a real chance to save our cultures from ecological collapse (the real potential exists). When, and only when, the general population understood enough about the relevant sciences ( e.g., ecology), their general level of ethics (care) would then be reasonably (Sciences), motivated “to save the Earth” “In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful [e.g., social status]. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.”― Carl Sagan We must un-greenwash people by informing them of the Science. Un-greenwashing maybe explaining the subjects that Scientists study, such as ecology. Un-greenwashing maybe informing people of the fundamental principles of science (the philosophy of science), so they can, in general, be confident that a scientific subject is being regulated ( i.e., peer-reviewed). In fact, the scientific peer-review process includes cooperation and competition. In general, scientists want to know the facts about, for example, nature. This means they're also reasonable motivated to critically evaluate other scientists research. Fundamentally, critical evaluation is how the scientific peer review process works. This does not mean that scientists spend much time personally criticizing other scientists (in research papers), it means, reliable science is open to accommodating facts. And ethical science is regulated by democratic ethics committees. For example, so the (informed) people get to choose if an experiment, that for example is trying to find a cure for a genetically inherited disease ( e.g., that causes premature death in children), should go ahead, or not, if the methods of the experiment would be on non-human animals. That's a "call" that one person, or group, should not make alone. In other words, that's a well informed (of the science. e.g., medical evidence) cultural level decision to make.

While the Lithium Series photographs of Tom Hegen are incredibly beautiful, they hide the dangerous reality of lithium extraction and its impact on the nature and communities where it's mined Even though it's key to our energy transition, lithium is not the most environmentally friendly chemical element, in South America and especially Chile huge lithium reserves are using huge amount of water creating devastating water-related conflicts among locals. !2.2 million litres of water! are needed to produce 1 ton of lithium. For info the battery of a Tesla Model S uses around 12 kg of lithium. Lithium extraction also harms the soil and can cause air contamination. Today lithium-ion batteries are the most popular option with more than 90% of the global grid market. And a good thing is that they are recyclable, sadly it's not widely common practice yet. So let's invest in recycling companies and alternatives to lithium that are less destructive for our environment! This article has good information on these: https://www.euronews.com/green/2022/02/09/we-re-facing-a-lithium-battery-crisis-what-are-the-alternatives

In a historical ruling, Ecuador's highest court gave Ecuador's indigenous communities the right to free, prior informed consent to oil, mining and other extractive projects affecting their lands. According to the ruling, if an Indigenous community refuses a project, the government can still move forward in “exceptional cases.” But it also states that “under no circumstances can a project be carried out that generates excessive sacrifices to the collective rights of communities and nature.” This ruling is fantastic news for the future of indigenous communities in the country, and less good news for Ecuador’s president, Guillermo Lasso and his plans to double oil production and expand mining in coming years. Brian Parker, a lawyer with Amazon Frontlines who worked on the case, said the ruling represented “a huge shift of power” in the country. The government has been able to do what it wanted, he said. “Now they need to get consent.” “It’s by far one of the most powerful rulings that supports free, prior and informed consent to Indigenous peoples to date,” said Oscar Soria, a campaign director at Avaaz, a human rights group. “This will have enormous implications.” Photo: Karen Toro / Climate Visuals Countdown https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/04/climate/ecuador-indigenous-constitutional-court.html

PARTNER UPDATE. Together with specialized textile company Climatex AG, Outdoor Works North is weaving a whole new sustainability solution into the garment industry: Pineapple Protection. Founded in 2011 by Swedish-British outdoorsman Stephen Copp, Outdoor Works North AB is a consultancy firm based in the snowy heights outside of Åre, Sweden. The firm advises on design and development of high-quality products in the apparel sector, working with companies at all links in the supply chain. They specialize in minimizing resources and solving environmental challenges related to apparel production, including end-of-life usage. “We partnered with We Don’t Have Time because we need to accelerate processes in this industry to take care of waste and raise the quality of garments,” says Copp. “There are so many problems in the garment industry that most people know and are talking about, but few are doing anything about them, aside from a few small brands that market direct to consumer.” “At Outdoor Works North,” says Copp, “we’re working to change the industry from a different position, focusing on bigger companies and organizations that issue uniforms and other garments. Those range from military and police organizations to major grocery store chains and aviation companies—everyone who needs uniforms.” Outdoor Works North has launched into 2022 in a new partnership with Swiss regenerative textile company Climatex to create a product they are calling Pineapple Protection. Climatex’s patented textile technology weaves yarn into layers that can be separated at end of life. Previously used only in the automobile industry, Climatex fabrics are created of fibers woven into different layers that, at the end of the life cycle, can be separated through a special dissolution process. The result of this weave is a durable and functional textile that can be recycled for new use after its original lifespan. Pineapple Protection is introducing this weaving technology to the garment industry. “The fabric not only lasts longer but offers higher performance, and at end of life there is still value left in it,” says Copp. “Usually the fibers are blended together, so new garments can’t be made from them.” Copp explains, “The challenge today is that it’s very costly to recycle garments because of the range of different fabrics, zippers and such, and as soon as you start to mix fibers and fabric in the same garment it's basically impossible to recycle. Disassembling each garment is costly, and the logistics are quite challenging on a larger scale. The Pineapple Protection process aims to streamline it all and make it much more cost-effective.” The end goal for Pineapple Protection is for a garment supplier to be able to offer a system to their clients in which the entire uniform can go into one recycling system, with that system being highly automated. For anyone working in organizations that provide uniforms or with connections into the garment industry, Copp’s top advice for initiating positive change is, “Start asking questions.” Those questions include: 1. What’s the quality of the garment, and how can that quality be improved? “There are too many cheap fibers on the market,” says Copp. “Higher quality means longer lifetime, which directly reduces environmental impact.” 2. What chemicals are used? “A big hurdle in recycling is chemical contamination of the fibers,” Copp explains. “The industry needs to align dyestuff and finishing treatment that can be processed at the end of the garment lifetime. Today many of the chemicals used disqualify the garment from further recycling.” 3. In the uniform system, how is functionality addressed? “Organizational specs can be rewritten to focus more on how garments function, including how long they last,” says Copp. “Take this example: military uniforms need to last in a 35°C-plus climate down to 0°C. If the specs focus on what the user needs more than the price, garment companies can be more creative in prioritizing and proposing what meets those requirements, including durability and sustainability.” - To learn more about these questions or about Pineapple Protection, contact Stephen Copp at stephen@outdoorworks.se, or visit https://www.climatex.com/en/company/. - Engage in a climate dialogue with Outdoor Works North by visiting the company's partner page on We Don't Have Time.

SheIn, Asos, Pretty Little Thing... ultra-fast fashion brands are breaking viewing records on TikTok with #haul videos Haul refers to a video where young people — most often girls — unpack their purchases, try on an outfit, move on to the next, giving their opinion on the products. This kind of content that was traditionally seen on YouTube has exploded on TikTok due to two factors: by lowering prices, fast fashion brands increase the purchasing power of young people, so anyone can imitate influencers, replicate the "haul" format, even on a small budget. Then, it's easier to make and edit a video on TikTok due to the short format And fast fashion haul videos are breaking viewing records : #haul 7,8 billion views #shein 8,3 billion views #sheinhaul 2,4 billion views Today more than ever, we are aware that this type of video does not stop at entertainment, because it calls for consumption and overconsumption, encourage modern slavery, pollution linked to transport, delivery and sometimes return of orders, increase in plastic and cardboard waste These haul videos are extremely problematic, and are misleading on three counts. First, they fix artificially low prices as a norm and you can be sure that for a price like this, behind, there are deleterious working conditions, low cost material. Then the young people presenting the products play the experts on quality but they have no idea what they are talking about as the quality of a garment can only be tested over time. Finally, they are misleading on the marketing side because it's disguised advertising because the brand is absent from the video. Shein encourages these “ambassadors” with promotional codes through an opaque customer account system. The more loyal the person is, the more they buy, the more promo codes they will receive to distribute to their subscribers. Something to flatter the ego of these aspiring influencers and encourage them to buy more and more. https://reporterre.net/Sur-Tiktok-la-promotion-dingue-de-la-mode-jetable https://www.favikon.com/blog/shein-haul-tiktok

Just two decades ago, climate change and associated extreme events were difficult for many Europeans to imagine as a threat to their way of life—it was something that affected other people in other places. In the past few years, Europe has however witnessed its warmest years on record and the summer of 2021 not only saw the number of wildfires more than double from the annual average of the past 10 years, but several western European countries were struck by the most devastating floods of the past few decades. These events highlight the urgent need for climate change mitigation, the success of which will rely heavily on public support for government policies aimed at limiting global warming. In their paper, the researchers analyzed the effect of people's increased experiences with climate extremes on environmental concern and explored to what extent changes in concerns translate into actual political support for climate action in the form of Green voting. For this, the team used time-series Eurobarometer data (42 survey waves, 2002–2019) and European Parliament election data (6 elections, 1994–2019) to analyze changes in concerns and voting at the subnational level across 34 and 28 European countries, respectively. Using innovative methods, the team combined this data with climatological data. "This is the first study to collect subnational election data for such a large number of countries and to combine it with environmental data," notes Piero Stanig, associate professor of Political Science at Bocconi University, Italy. Awareness and concern for environmental issues have risen across Europe in the past two decades. This increase was particularly pronounced in Northern and Western Europe and weaker in Eastern and Southern Europe. Although trends in green voting are erratic over time, there is a clear North-West and East-South divide with higher shares of Green voters in the North-West. The statistical analysis shows that the rise in concerns and voting for Green parties can partly be ascribed to the more frequent and intense experiences with climate extremes. The impacts of climate extremes were, however, not uniform but differ from region to region. https://phys.org/news/2022-02-climate-extremes-green-voting-europe.html

SSAB is pioneering fossil free steel. However, moving into this new way of production takes time and money. Part of the investments that would enable fossil free production by 2045, the board has now decided will be ready by 2030 - 15 years earlier than was initially planned. Fantastic move SSAB! Making all production sites fossil free will avoid 8 million tons of CO2 emissions yearly - and 10% of Sweden's emissions as well as 7% of Finland's . And of course it is all due to increasing customer demand. Text and image: https://www.ssab.se/nyheter/2022/01/ssab-planerar-fr-nytt-produktionssystem-i-norden-och-tidigarelgger-den-grna-omstllningen
