Amazon used more plastic packaging in the US in 2022. Amazon is using less plastic packaging in some countries due to regulations, but not in the US. This plastic waste can harm the environment and marine life. They estimate Amazon's plastic waste in the US in 2022 could circle the Earth over 200 times. Despite pressure, Amazon hasn't made significant commitments to reduce plastic use. Amazon should do more to reduce its plastic footprint, considering its size and influence. https://grist.org/accountability/as-amazon-eliminates-plastic-packaging-abroad-its-using-even-more-in-the-us/

🎶 There's a hairy one and a weedy one And a knobby one and a blobby one And they're all quirky and whacky And they all don't look the same 🎶 Behold the hairy frogfish, a master of camouflage and a strange looking one at that... These fish, which belong to the anglerfish family, are covered in spines resembling strands of hair that help them blend in with their kelp and coral homes. While they may be experts at hiding in plain sight, they do something that sets them apart from most marine life. They don’t swim. Instead they scour the ocean floor on their wide fins in search for food. Some fast facts about the hairy frogfish: 🌍 They are found mostly in warm waters around the world 📏 They usually grow about four inches long (10.16cm) 🦐 They feed on crustaceans and other fish such as flounder 📸: Chiku_uw

Nuclear energy is a consistent, low-carbon source of energy that doesn't take as much space as other clean energy initiatives, but it generates waste that can remain radioactive for thousands of years. https://www.thecooldown.com/green-tech/nst-superlat-nuclear-waste-disposal-technology-nigeria/ So, as Nigeria continues to explore the potential of nuclear energy, it's vital for the West African country to find a solution to that problem. Finland, for example, is building an underground repository to permanently store all the waste from its five nuclear power plants.Nigeria is home to an abundance of uranium, and nuclear energy would provide a clean, stable, and cheaper alternative to dirty energy sources, the Nigerian Tribune reported in September.Per the outlet, NST SuperLAT technology could be the key. The "geological nuclear waste disposal technology" isolates and dilutes nuclear waste according to global regulations. It's been called "a game-changer for the nuclear energy industry."It deposits high and low nuclear spent fuel 10,000 to 15,000 feet below the surface of the Earth, per the Nigerian Tribune, keeping radioactive waste from causing safety and environmental issues.NuclearSAFE Technology co-founder Dr. Jimmy Etti-Williams developed the method. The Tribune reported it meets the standards of the International Atomic Energy Agency and answers concerns about accidents, leaks, and terror risks.

Great podcast about people leaving their job in the fossil fuel industry. "On a Friday afternoon travelling home, I would feel physically uncomfortable. And I was wondering: why am I feeling physically uncomfortable? I had a good week, I’ve done good work. And then you realise that, you may have done good work, but the goal that you’re working towards is evil in a way; does not align with your moral compass." Many referred to having a sense of cognitive dissonance – the idea that your behaviour doesn’t match your belief system. And they couldn’t live it with any longer. Augustine explained: "They were increasingly feeling a sense of urgency around the climate crisis … something that they’d thought might be happening ten, 15, 20 years down the line, such as heat records being broken or climate related weather events. They felt an increasing sense that it couldn’t wait any longer for them to leave this industry."

Papua New Guinea has been struck by tragedy. The recent floods and landslides have claimed at least 23 lives, a devastating loss for our nation. While extreme weather events are a part of life in our region, the severity of this disaster demands a hard look at our preparedness and, more importantly, our role in mitigating future catastrophes. Papua New Guinea is ground zero for climate change. Ranked as the world's 16th most at-risk country, we are already experiencing the consequences of a warming planet. The heavy rain and king tides that battered our shores are a stark reminder of this vulnerability. The deforestation of our lands for palm oil plantations and foreign timber companies is a significant contributor to the worsening floods and landslides. These practices strip away the natural defenses that our forests provide, leaving our communities exposed. We cannot afford to prioritize short-term economic gains at the expense of our long-term safety. What do we do? We need decisive action. We need to invest in early warning systems, disaster preparedness programs, and sustainable development initiatives. We need to hold those who exploit our environment accountable. The lives lost this week are a wake-up call. We must act now to protect our people and our nation from the intensifying threats of climate change. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/20/papua-new-guinea-floods-landslides-leave-at-least-23-dead

Did you know that your savings and pension funds can make up more than half of your personal carbon footprint? Did you also know that it's easy to do something about it? This guide will help you reduce your own carbon footprint and contribute to society's green transition. It will take you less than an hour – but can have a big climate impact. Individuals who want to reduce their carbon footprint are often skilled at recycling, buying second-hand, changing their eating habits, and switching to more sustainable modes of transport. But, most forget to look at how they keep, save and invest their money. Many financial institutions still invest heavily in the fossil fuel sector, meaning your money might indirectly be supporting these activities. Currently, over 6,500 institutional investors hold bonds and shares in coal, oil, and gas companies worth more than US$3 trillion. Several big banks still invest in fossil fuel companies and/or lend money to new oil and gas exploration. The bank, where we keep our cash, is often the largest single contributor to our carbon footprint. Studies have found that greening your money can be far more powerful than the combined effect of giving up flying, ditching meat, or switching to clean energy. Moving your money can also help create a ripple effect that accelerates the transition to a fossil-free society. Dr. Jonathan Donges, Co-Leader of the FutureLab on Earth Resilience in the Anthropocene, describes these as the triggering ‘positive’ socio-economic tipping points that can accelerate decarbonization. According to his research, one of the ”most rapid” triggers is divestments in the financial markets. The third and most important reason to move your money is that the money is needed to finance the green transition. Some investors still argue that divesting will not change anything since all that happens is that another investor will step in and buy what you just sold. But these arguments miss the point. The International Energy Agency (IEA) calculates that $4,5 trillion needs to be invested annually in clean energy by 2030. If you move $10,000 from the fossil fuel sector to the green sector, that means there is now $10,000 more available to help this sector grow. And, since the clean energy sector is booming while fossil energy is continuously losing market shares, moving your money also increases your chances of getting a good long-term return on your investments. So, time to get started. Grab a cup of coffee, ask your partner or another family member to sit down next to you, flip your laptop open, and follow these steps on how to Move the Money. 1. Where is your money? What bank or other financial institution are you using for your savings or daily needs? Is your money placed in a savings account or invested in stocks or funds? Which ones? And how much? Where do you have your loans and pension savings? If you are employed, try to find out which pension fund provider your company is using and where and how your pension money is invested. Write it all down in this Excel sheet. 2. Is your bank or pension fund still investing in fossil fuels? Search for your bank, pension fund, or other institutional investor on We Don't Have Time. If you find it on the list, look up the figure for “Fossil fuel investments” and add this number to your Excel sheet. Also watch out for Climate Warnings that the company may have received. 3. Contact your bank or other financial institution. Ask them if they plan to divest from fossil fuels, and when. Let them know that you will consider moving your money if they keep investing in oil, coal or gas or lending money to such operations. If you have a bank contact person, call him or her or book a personal meeting. The second best option is to send an email. By doing so, you make it clear to the financial institution that there is a demand for green alternatives. Most banks have email addresses on their website, often in the “About Us” or “Contact Us” section. If you cannot find it, look for contacts in the “Media” or “Press Contacts” section. Here is a mail template you can use (feel free to modify and translate to your language, pro tip, use ChatGPT); Subject: Inquiry Regarding Fossil Fuel Investments Dear [Bank/Pension Fund Name], I hope this message finds you well. As a long-standing customer of [Bank/Pension Fund Name], I am reaching out to gain insights into our institution's investment strategies, particularly regarding fossil fuels. With the global consensus at the UN COP28 meeting on the urgency of transitioning away from fossil fuels to mitigate climate change, my concern about the destinations of my investments has deepened. It has come to my attention that [Bank/Pension Fund Name] has invested [XXX USD] in the oil, coal, and gas sectors, according to data from investinginclimatechaos .org Could you please clarify [Bank/Pension Fund Name]'s stance on these investments and any plans to divest from these industries in favor of renewable and sustainable solutions? My decision to maintain my financial relationship with [Bank/Pension Fund Name] hinges on the institution's commitment to a sustainable future. Aligning my investments with my environmental values is crucial to me, and I am willing to transfer my funds to an institution that better reflects these priorities if necessary. I await your prompt and detailed response on this matter, hopeful for [Bank/Pension Fund Name]'s proactive steps towards environmental sustainability. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name] 4. Move your Money. If your financial institution doesn’t have any credible transition plans, or it seems like they simply don’t care, you should Move the Money. Some of your money might be locked in for a few years, as is often the case with mortgages. Then you just have to wait. But if no such conditions apply, make sure you Move the Money straight away. But where to? Here are a few ideas on how to find out which banks are taking serious climate action. Search on We Don’t Have Time which banks and financial institutions in your area have received a lot of Climate Love 💚. For country-based lists of sustainable banks, Fair Finance International is a good source. Fair Finance is a global network assessing, reporting on, and campaigning for more responsible investment policies and practices by financial institutions. It is active in the following countries and regions: (Belgium, Brazil, Cambodia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Southern Africa, Sweden, Thailand, The Philippines, Vietnam). Don’t hesitate to reach out to Fair Finance and ask for advice if you can’t find the info you’re looking for online. When contacting the new bank, make sure to ask them about their investment policies, to make sure it lives up to its reputation. Tell them that you have chosen them because of their good climate rating, and ask them for help on how to invest your money to maximise its climate impact. If you can’t find the perfect bank or other financial institution, don´t worry. Make a list of the banks you find interesting and contact them to find out more about how they invest their money. This, in itself, creates a big impact and makes banks aware of their customers' demands. 5. Show your support. If you haven't done so yet, sign up for the #MovetheMoney campaign, and don’t forget to add how much money you want to move. This will be handled anonymously and separated from your personal data. Our aim is simply to put more pressure on financial institutions and fossil fuel companies by showing how much money is on the move. When you are done, please share this campaign with others on social media, and let them know how easy it is to make a climate impact with your money. You can also read our other guides on how to make a financial climate impact on the campaign page: https://wedonthavetime.org/movethemoney Should you have any suggestions for enhancing this guide further, please do not hesitate to contact us via email at markus.lutteman@wedonthavetime.org

Brazil swelters. Rio de Janeiro shimmers under a heat index never before recorded – a staggering 62.3 degrees Celsius. This isn't a blip, it's a searing alarm. The Amazon, the world's lungs, burns, and with it, Brazil's future. The science checks out: Unchecked emissions fan the flames of climate change. Fossil fuels, the crutch of our past, are the arsonist of our present. We cannot continue on this path. The Amazon, a verdant shield protecting us from the harshest effects of a warming planet, is under siege. Its fate is intertwined with ours. Protect the rainforest, and you protect not just countless species, but the very ability of this nation to sustain itself. The time for incremental change is over. We need a bold transition to renewable energy. Solar panels must grace rooftops, wind turbines pierce the sky, and electric vehicles hum on our streets. This is not just about saving the planet, it's about building a stronger, more sustainable Brazil. Carpe Diem, let Brazil be a beacon of hope, a testament to our ability to heal the planet. Let history remember you as the leader who tamed the flames, not the one who watched as his nation burned. This is not a call to surrender, but a call to arms. The time to act is now. The real question is, Can you do it? Remains to be seen. https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2024/3/18/photos-record-heat-index-of-62-3c-scorches-rio-de-janeiro

A heatwave stifling Brazil has set new records with Rio de Janeiro’s heat index hitting 62.3 degrees Celsius (144.1 degrees Fahrenheit), the highest in a decade, weather authorities say. The heat index measures what a temperature feels like by taking into account humidity. The actual maximum temperature in the city was 42C on Monday, the Rio Alert weather system said. The 62.3C record was notched in western Rio at 09:55am (12:55 GMT) on Sunday, and was the “highest mark” since Alerta Rio began keeping such records in 2014. https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2024/3/18/photos-record-heat-index-of-62-3c-scorches-rio-de-janeiro

The recent announcement of Sembcorp securing a 440MW solar-plus-wind project in India marks a significant stride towards sustainable energy development, bearing profound implications for both the environment and the economic landscape of the country. https://www.pv-tech.org/sembcorp-indian-hybrid-project-indonesia-solar-plant/ At the forefront of this groundbreaking initiative is Sembcorp's renewables subsidiary, Green Infra Wind Energy Limited (GIWEL), which has been entrusted with the responsibility of spearheading this ambitious venture. The project, awarded by the Indian state-owned utility SJVN, underscores a strategic partnership geared towards fostering clean and renewable energy sources. This venture is poised to make a substantial impact on the environment by contributing to India's renewable energy goals. The integration of solar and wind technologies in a 440MW capacity project signifies a departure from traditional energy sources, reducing the nation's reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating harmful environmental effects. The shift towards cleaner energy aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and underscores Sembcorp's commitment to sustainability. Beyond its environmental significance, the project holds immense economic value for India. The 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) between Sembcorp and SJVN not only guarantees a reliable and consistent power supply but also fosters long-term economic stability. This collaboration has the potential to enhance energy security, reduce dependency on imported fuels, and create employment opportunities in the burgeoning renewable energy sector. Furthermore, the project's integration into India's national grid, the Inter State Transmission System, enhances the efficiency and reliability of the country's energy infrastructure. The strategic placement of the project ensures that the generated power can be seamlessly distributed across different regions, bolstering energy accessibility and promoting equitable development. The projected timeline of 24 months for the commercial operation of the solar-plus-wind project showcases Sembcorp's commitment to delivering tangible results promptly. This not only accelerates India's transition towards a sustainable energy landscape but also positions the country as a leader in the global renewable energy arena. In conclusion, Sembcorp's successful bid for the 440MW solar-plus-wind project in India, in collaboration with SJVN, represents a pivotal moment in the intersection of environmental stewardship and economic prosperity. As the project progresses, it will undoubtedly contribute to India's renewable energy targets, foster environmental sustainability, and stimulate economic growth, ultimately exemplifying the transformative power of sustainable energy initiatives on a national scale.

I am impressed by ''Twende Green Ecocycles'' a Mombasa-based plastic waste recycling company that has a commendable mission of addressing the marine plastic waste issue in Kenya while simultaneously contributing to educational development by manufacturing eco-desks for schools. Their mission to address marine plastic waste while supporting education is highly commendable. It aligns with both environmental sustainability and social responsibility goals. Marine plastics threaten marine species and coastal tourism, and contributes to climate change. When plastics get into oceans, they break down into microplastics which are consumed by marine animals. So this start up work of creating eco-friendly school furniture not only helps in waste management but also promotes environmental awareness among students and communities around and more so protecting our oceans https://www.africanews.com/2024/03/07/marine-plastic-waste-turned-into-school-desks-and-chairs-in-kenya/?fbclid=IwAR1TPsKm2NeI6AlWJjBYJKffKcEnhSXh327vtliJt6d5MnE7ZUfJmTmLr2U

This is such a commendable way of reducing the amount of plastic waste in our environment, especially in our water bodies as it will encourage a safe environment for marine life to thrive in.... Twende Green Ecocycle should be kind enough to share this knowledge and technology with others because Together we can achieve more

This innovation is fantastic! How can we reward people transforming ocean plastics into usable facilities like desks & chairs? Indeed we can't reward them. Tackling plastic pollution while promoting sustainable practices is a commendable progress.

Imagine this graph depicts the spread of cancer in a patient’s body rather than global sea-surface temperatures. Each line represents a day in the life of the patient, with the darkening shades of blue showing the progression of the disease over the years. Now, look at the red line, representing 2024. It shows an alarming surge, a dramatic escalation of the condition. If this were a cancer patient, the urgency would be clear: immediate and aggressive treatment would be paramount. Yet, when it comes to the health of our planet, reflected in this very real graph of rising sea-surface temperatures from 1982 to 2024, our political leaders hesitate. Despite the clear signs of worsening climate health, the required ‘chemotherapy’—urgent and substantial action to combat climate change—is met with resistance or delayed. Why is it that we can understand the urgency in a medical crisis, yet when our planet exhibits the same distress signals, we drag our feet? It’s time for our leaders to treat the earth’s climate with the same seriousness as a life-threatening disease, because that’s exactly what it is. This year is a pivotal one, with an election that gives 2 billion people a voice at the ballot box. It’s a powerful opportunity for us all to decide what truly matters. As you cast your vote, consider not just the immediate impact on your wallet but the long-term implications for our collective future—a healthy planet. As we face the consequences of climate change, it's clear that the decisions we make now are more crucial than ever. So when you vote, vote for the world you want to live in, for the air you want to breathe, and for the future you want to see. Let's prioritize a healthy planet over temporary gains.

We Don’t Have Time has been ranked one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies by the Financial Times. ”A great recognition for us and the whole climate economy,” says Ingmar Rentzhog, CEO and founder of We Don’t Have Time. https://www.ft.com/ft1000-2024 For the eighth consecutive year, the Financial Times has ranked the 1,000 fastest-growing companies in Europe. The FT 1000 ranking, compiled with German research company Statista, showcases those European companies with highest percentage growth in revenues between 2019 to 2022. This year, We Don’t Have Time reached #294 on the FT 1000 list, ranking fourth among media companies in Europe. Ingmar Rentzhog, founder and CEO of We Don’t Have Time, says the ranking is the result of his team's enduring achievements. He believes it sends an important message to those who still don’t believe that working for the climate can be a good business model. ”It is a great recognition for us to be on this list, as there is still a lot of prejudice about being able to make money on saving the planet. The fact is, the climate economy is growing more than many think. That we rank high on this list is both proof that things are going well for us, and that there is a great need to communicate climate solutions.” TOP 5 Media Companies in Europe, Growth Rate (%) 1. The Alliance (UK), +2,935.8% 2. OnlyFans (UK), +2,143.3% 3. Requtech (Sweden), +978.3% 4. We Don’t Have Time (Sweden), +584.6% 5. Master Group (Italy), +439.2% We Don’t Have Time was recently also recognized by Deloitte as one of Sweden’s fastest-growing tech companies in 2023’s Sweden Technology Fast 50. Deloitte’s ranking is based on revenue growth over the last four years and includes all areas of tech. ”It is important for us to keep growing, but like many other growth companies in the green economy, we must also achieve profitability. To do this, we need continuous support from investors”, says Ingmar Rentzhog. ”There is no lack of investment money out there, but too much of that money is still flowing in the wrong direction, supporting the fossil fuel industry instead of funding the green solutions.” This is why We Don’t Have Time has just launched an initiative called Move The Money. The aim is to unite all investors who believe in the power of moving as much money as possible from fossil to green. This includes private investors, angel investors, green funds, banks, hedge funds, venture capital firms, investment companies, and anyone making a living from finance. https://www.wedonthavetime.org/events/stockholmclimateweek#/channel/4316/lfwwwnzvgrrueqzrg54te5tbkrxuwuty The ongoing shift from dirty to clean energy is clearly visible in FT 1000. Raylyst Solar, a Prague-based distributor of solar panels, tops the new ranking, and the boost for renewable energy has made Energy and utilities the fourth best-placed sector, up from sixth place in the previous ranking. According to the Financial Times, ”their rise can be partially attributed to the EU Green Deal, its financing programme to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels, as well as efforts to diversify energy supplies in response to record-high oil and gas prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.” Scrolling through the list of the 1,000 fastest-growing companies of 2024, Ingmar Rentzhog is hopeful about what the companies of the future will look like. ”There aren't many companies from the fossil fuel industry on this list. In fact, I didn't find a single one as I scrolled through. Perhaps I missed one, but they appear to be quite rare. It seems they're not where the future growth is occurring”, he says. ABOUT FT 1000 - The FT1000 for 2024 is the eighth annual ranking of Europe’s fastest-growing companies. - The ranking is compiled by Financial Times with German research company Statista. - The companies are listed in order of highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue over the period 2019 to 2022. - For this year’s ranking, a minimum average growth rate of 36.3 per cent has been required for inclusion. - The ranking of the FT 1000 was created through a complex procedure. Although the search was very extensive, the ranking does not claim to be complete, as some companies did not want to make their figures public or did not participate for other reasons. ABOUT WE DON'T HAVE TIME We Don't Have Time is the world's largest media platform for climate action—with a mission to democratize knowledge about climate solutions and inspire and mobilize global action toward a prosperous, fossil-free future. Boasting a community of 100,000+ climate professionals and influencers in 180 countries, and partnerships with 400 companies, government- and civil society organizations, We Don’t Have Time reaches 200 million people each month on social media. Headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with offices in Washington, D.C., and Nairobi, Kenya

I am incredibly grateful to be working alongside such an amazing team that has achieved these remarkable results. When my co-founder David Olsson and I started 'We Don't Have Time' seven years ago, we were all too often faced with skepticism. Many questioned whether it was even possible to make money by doing something good for the world. Today, it's a given! The journey from those initial doubts to our current success has been extraordinary, and it's a testament to the hard work, dedication, and belief in our mission shared by everyone on the team. To have reached this point, where our impact is both meaningful and a rapidly growing business, fills me with immense pride. It's a clear sign that doing good and doing well can go hand in hand. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey

The National Environment Management Authority (Nema) has partnered with various manufacturers in the country to enhance waste management. Nema and manufacturers will adopt a circular that prioritizes the minimisation of waste by reusing, recycling and re-purposing materials to create a closed-loop system in effectively reducing pollution. Nema Director General Mamo B. Mamo said the authority has developed and implemented a host of robust guidelines, standards, and permits aimed at promoting circular economy practices. https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/realtime/2024-03-01-nema-partners-with-manufacturers-to-enhance-waste-management/
