I agree! By doing things the same way, we will get the same results. Only be choosing different routes can we arrive at another destination. And remember: already a 1° shift of direction will over time bring us in a completely different place. What turn are you taking next? If we want to live better lives in the future, I believe it is critical that we work toward the environment by planting🌴🌳🎄🍀🌿☘️ trees🌳🌴🌲 and creating fruit forests🌲🌲🌳🌲🌲. https://t.co/I7cXyP3jWP #Environmentalist #climatewarrior #IndianEnvironmentalist #tamilnadu pic.twitter.com/xBsmWRjzo8 — Prasiddhi Singh (@Prasiddhi_O) November 28, 2022

Congolese artists create art from European and North-American waste found in their neighborhood. As we live in a global village this feels as if we dumped our waste in our neighbor's garden! Imagine a neighbor would dump that in your garden? ..[I'm speechless].. Congolese artists repurpose waste into wonders.

Does this sand storm take your breath away? It does for people who are in it, as these storms take the air to breath! Scarily, they become worse and more common due to climate change. This way it becomes possible to suffocate due to climate change. That's why I take action! https://twitter.com/WMO/status/989548389376385026/video/1

A pictures does often say more than a 1000 words. And the words add to it. I seldom use a car, and don't even own one. Instead, I use my bike or walk, or go by train for long distances. And by buying a train ticket, I vote with my money for continued train services. 70 people in a #bus Vs... 70 people in #cars And you, how do you commute? #green #sustainability pic.twitter.com/0qeRVAayZY — Pascal Bornet (@pascal_bornet) October 14, 2022 Retweet text: 70 people in a #bus Vs... 70 people in #cars And you, how do you commute? #green #sustainability

As you may know, I'm also an ethical hacker, testing websites on security issues. Doing IT security projects not only helps make the digital world a safer place, it also allows me to sponsor my own #sustainability work. And last week, my presentation was a lot of fun as well!

The main airport in The Netherlands is 4 m (13 ft) below sea level! But with #climateChange, not only saltwater needs to be kept out, also freshwater kept in. And while policies made sure that the ground water level is kept low, these now needs to be changed due to drought. Loading...

I love how @environment_go puts it, which is similar to my motto "a better world starts with yourself".

In a Dutch city, the urban forest is walking, being driven around to different places in the city. A great way for citizens to experience #nature more!

Good news: In July Switzerland opened a facility to generate and store #renewableEnergy. It is based on two lakes, one higher than the other.

Wow, I never thought of this before: doing exactly the opposite by making cars absorb CO2 during driving instead of emitting it. @TUeindhoven: "When the car is driving, air will move through our self-designed filters, where the CO2 will be captured and stored." Very clever! Loading... Twitter Embed Code Retweet text: Stuff that make me feel proud. Zero #Emission Mobility #zem.
