Stop fossil fuels. We want justice. People everywhere are rising up in resistance against the fossil fuel industry. Right now, the extractive fossil fuel industry is driving the climate crisis – causing death, destruction and displacement around the world. The entire industry is built on colonialism and injustice. From systemic pollution and environmental damage to displacement of communities, fraud, collusion, misleading greenwashing marketing campaigns and now the global energy crisis. Climate change threatens human rights. Fossil fuel companies are responsible for countless crimes against the environment and humanity and they have been getting away with it for far too long. For a safe and fair world, we need climate justice and Polluters Must Pay for the damages they are causing around the world.

Clean Cooking from #Biogas: A Game-Changer for Africa Did you know that converting organic waste to biogas and biofertilizers can help African communities turn waste into wealth? It's true! By utilizing organic waste to produce biogas, communities can reduce their reliance on expensive and environmentally damaging fuels like firewood and charcoal. Not only that, but the biofertilizers produced from the waste can be a cheap and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fertilizers. But the benefits don't end there. Clean cooking from biogas can also improve public health by reducing indoor air pollution, a significant health hazard in many African communities. And if that weren't enough, this technology can even promote economic growth by providing a new business opportunity for waste management companies. It's clear that clean cooking from biogas is a game-changer for Africa. By achieving sustainable development, improving public health, and protecting the environment, we can create a brighter future for all. So let's continue to inspire and empower communities to turn waste into wealth and embrace this exciting new technology!

Are you interested in the role technology can play in solving one of the world's most critical issues? Experts in the field are increasingly exploring the potential of #ArtificialIntelligence (#AI) in addressing climate change. AI can provide us with accurate insights and models to better understand how our planet is changing and anticipate future scenarios. This knowledge can then inform crucial policy decisions that can mitigate #climatechange's adverse effects and help us adapt to them. AI can also assist us in dealing with extreme weather events, such as #hurricanes, #floods, and #wildfires, by predicting and preparing for them, reducing their impact on our environment and saving lives. Finally, AI can help us save #energy and reduce #waste by predicting energy demand and adjusting production and distribution accordingly. These are just a few examples of how AI could potentially be a game-changer in combatting climate change. It's exciting to think about the possibilities that could arise from the combination of the latest technologies and humanity's collective efforts to create a sustainable future.

SpinLaunch has developed a centrifuge-like catapult to throw cargo into space - a system that is expected to eliminate 70% of the fuel and infrastructure required for traditional rocket launches! While the contraption is still in the testing phases, the latest launch successfully sent gear from NASA, Cornell University, Airbus, and satellite developer Outpost, high into the sky at 5,000 mph. While sending the cargo into space wasn't the goal, the payload was found to survive the 10,000 G's of force while being spun in the Suborbital Accelerator system. . Read more about the catapult: https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/spinlaunch-catapulted-a-nasa-payload . Graphic shows a catapult shooting a boulder off in the night.

It's very interesting, yet limited in it's application. We can not do without standard designs. There is development in the type of used fuels. Methane, with can be biomethane and other kinds.

@jehannes_ros you bring up an excellent point; just as other green initiatives have their strong points, it does have its shortcomings. This catapult would not be capable of flinging sensitive cargo into space (not to mention, people), but it does limit the need of traditional rocket launches. But complimenting these types of sendoffs with launches powered by more sustainable fuels would limit space travels' carbon footprint, for sure.

There are those that still believe that moving away from a fossil-driven economy would put societies through pain, sacrifices, and poverty. In fact, the opposite is true. This is our big chance to co-create a brighter, better and more exciting tomorrow for all. So we've created a new campaign, #WeCanDoIt, for everybody that believes we actually can. Together we are a steadily growing collective of proud business leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors and influencers. And the more the merrier, so help us spread the word on this campaign. Everybody can support it by posting their Rosie-pose onto social media with the hashtag!. So join in and support us! https://www.wecandoit.tech

Definitely moving away from a fossil driven economy would put some societies through pain cause most depends on fossil fuels as their source of livelihood but the big question is what are the impacts of the fossil fuel to the environment and our climate? To talk the truth fossil fuels having deverse negative effects that why alternative sources of livelihood should be introduced that encourage green economy and move away from a fossil driven economy

Liz Truss is facing a rebellion from Jacob Rees-Mogg’s business department over plans to ban solar power from most of England’s farmland. The prime minister and her environment secretary, Ranil Jayawardena, want to ban solar from about 41% of the land area of England, or about 58% of agricultural land, the Guardian revealed earlier this week. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/13/liz-truss-on-collision-course-with-jacob-rees-mogg-over-solar-power-ban

By mounting solar panels above crops it is possible to shade plants, reducing heat stress and water loss, while also producing electricity from the sun. Combining solar energy and agriculture, this agrivoltaics project has been tested on a farm in Kenya for a year with impressive results. Researchers at The University of Sheffield presented this project at COP26. Learn more: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/research/harvesting-sun-twice

I became a climate activist 16 years ago. Back then, not many people cared about climate change. The eye rolls were audible. Media coverage was scarce, and what little there was glibly included “both sides”. It was frustrating and tragic to see such a clear and present danger and to know that it was still mostly avoidable, yet ignored by society. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/oct/01/climate-emergency-hurricane-ian-crisis

I know he is a great leader! And His effort toward environment as same as fight toward climate crisis in Kenya and Africa is commendable! But am not sure we have planted such a number in Kenya because if we have achieved that 134 billion trees in his tenure of 10years, then our country forest cover in our country couldn't be less than 7% as it is currently. Anyway maybe you can add link to support that if any?

The US Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the government's key environmental agency cannot issue broad limits on greenhouse gases, sharply curtailing the power of President Joe Biden's administration to battle climate change. By a majority of 6-3, the high court found that the Environmental Protection Agency did not have the power to set sweeping caps on emissions from coal-fired power plants, which produce nearly 20 percent of the electricity consumed in the United States. The decision sets back Biden's hopes of using the EPA to bring down emissions to meet global climate goals, set in 2015 under the Paris Agreement on climate change.

Airpelago’s pitch: Airpelago is developing an advanced automation software which streamlines large-scale inspections of power lines with drones, leading to emission-free inspections and a more reliable power grid. Today’s inspection methods, i. e. using helicopters or walking by foot, are slow, create large emissions and most-importantly, miss a lot of faults. Many have tried using drones instead, but have found it too expensive and inefficient for large-scale inspections. By automating the entire inspection process, our solution makes drones a cost-efficient alternative to helicopters, while detecting up to 10 times as many faults, thus detecting critical issues proactively before they lead to blackouts.

It’s clogging up our oceans, it’s filling up our landfills, it’s choking our wildlife… Plastic, one of the biggest environmental pollutants humans produce. But solving the plastics problem is about much more than just reducing or moving away from this material. During the We Don't Have Time broadcast "The Road to COP 27", which was part of Climate Week NYC, we sat down alongside several forerunning businesses for a session on plastics, plastic waste, and the potential for recycling this common yet harmful material to reduce emissions across a range of industries. We were keen to share how our history in the waste management industry could be used to combat this plastic crisis and integrate the material in a way that works with a circular, greener economy, rather than against it within our region of operations in Denmark. Our CEO of Ragn-Sells in Denmark, Massimo Forti was joined by the founder of WRAP, Marcus Gover, a climate action NGO working directly on a plastic reduction initiative in the UK, as well as Erin Simon, Head of WWF’s USA Plastic Waste & Business Arm, and Sheila Aggarwal-Khan, Economy Division Director, UNEP. Together, we shared our collective vision and solutions for a renewable plastic future. The Plastic Issue “We started a journey at Ragn-Sells Denmark years ago by treating organic waste from groceries stores but realized that 20% of the input was actually plastic. Solving the waste problem with organic produce is easy, but this isn’t the same for plastics.” As Massimo outlined in his initial remarks, the challenge of plastics is inherent in its ubiquity - the material is used in virtually every industry, with much of it coming in an unrecyclable form. We had stumbled across a challenge that we wanted to solve, and although, as our Danish CEO shared onstage, we have already generated some technical solutions, such as recycling plastic back into usable materials, this was a solution that was economically inefficient. “Virgin” or new plastics don’t have a fixed price, but they are often far cheaper to create, sell and produce than recycled plastics. From wholesalers to producers, to customers, it is currently not economically advantageous to turn to entirely recycled plastic products. “We have to find a new plastic production model, but how do we do this? We need to restructure the inherent value of different types of plastics to create a demand for recycled plastics.” But as Massimo outlined, there needs to be a new worldwide standard for reused plastics in all our goods that will set guidelines for how valuable recycled plastics do become to businesses and industries. The new plastic standard “Not all companies have internal policies on how much recycled materials need to be in their products. In the Uk now, they have a list of several plastic products where they have to have at least 30% recycled material.” As Massimo shared, if there was a standard globally for all products to contain the same amount of recycled materials, it would automatically increase the value of recycled plastics across the board, helping expedite the process by which entire supply chains begin to prize this more climate-friendly plastic solution. A fantastic point was brought up by Sheila Aggarwal-Khan, Economy Division Director at UNEP, who outlined the issue with plastic “additives” as part of a wider “reuse and recycle” system for plastic usage: “There are chemicals that go into plastics. You have your phone, you have your laptop - even packaging - that turns the plastics into something manoeuvrable… What do you do with these chemicals that could be harmful to the people that are responsible for recycling?” She added that, “Governments are looking at the kind of regulatory environment that they are putting in place to create a level playing field for actors across the value chain to be able to operate in a new plastics economy.” Watch the whole discussion: https://youtu.be/bo5jL_K5BQs?t=31735

The housing company Strängnäs Bostads in Strängnäs, Sweden, is promoting sustainable travel among its employees in a very encouraging way. From the 1st of January next year, employees who choose to travel by train instead of by plane for their long-distance holiday will be rewarded with en extra day of payed vacation. ”The reactions have been very positive. Our employees have started thinking about taking the train to the Alpes rather than travel by air, and it has also sparked interesting discussions concerning the future of travel”, says Elin Rengman, initiator of the initiative, in an interview with the newspaper Aktuell Hållbarhet (Sustainability Today). The compensation covers journeys of more than 750 kilometers, one way. For shorter distances than that, train should be the obvious alternative, according to Strängnäs Bostads.
