793 #ClimateSolutions #Cities #PublicTransit #Bikes

Living in the Netherlands this is normal for me [all be it exceptional].
I used to commute to work on bike. No drivers license. Owning 3 bikes. One for urban traffic, to the train station. One for leisure. And the last at the trainstation of my workplace.
Would that was possible for every one.
Remember: 'If you build it, they will come' As it goes for bicycles it also goes for cars.

Quote by OTU:
"Aug 13, 2023
Why build bike lanes — shouldn’t we focus on public transit instead? There’s a criticism we’ve seen that bicycle urbanism is a niche obsession and that urbanists’ attention should instead be on public transit as a more robust, reliable, and realistic alternative to driving."

Sometimes I get very, very annoyed with my fellow countrymen when it comes to solar !
Money seems to be [have been] the primary goal for solar.
Should that goal not have been to contribute to the solution to the #ClimateEmergency.
#Mitigation, the ultimate solution.

"Apr 13, 2025
Rooftop solar PV is THE best way to reduce your household energy bills (alongside good insulation of course!). But the technology is woefully underutilised on a global basis, especially in regions that have the best sunshine, like Africa. Now a new report has crunched some numbers and calculated the climate mitigation potential of all those unused roofs around the world. And it's quite the impact!"

For several weeks several states have been subjected to heavy floods.
But no one really talks about it. Granted Americans seem to have bigger problems. Like a President determined to ruin the country... the same president that destroyed the weather service, banned research on #ClimateChange and even scrubbed the word #Climate.
And all the while everyone keeps driving their big, oil guzzling trucks.
I don't care that they don't care about their own lives...
but as it goes they keep destroying the rest of the globe.

The rich [speaking globally, you're probably one of them], they wanna have stuff, cheap shitty stuff.
The rich don't care how it got made [by children probably] as long as the price is right.
The rich don't care how long it lasts, as long as they can flash and make their neighbors jealous.
The rich don't care anymore the moment they place 'it' in the bin, probably they are 'green' in separated the trash. And feel good about themselves.

I apologize for my sarcasm, but
this clip is about Ghana, but this is happening all over Africa. And the companies pay for it.
#Afrika is NOT your dumping ground !

Global energy market disruption is desperately needed if the world is to stand any chance of achieving its decarbonisation goals. Taking on the incumbent behemoth monopolistic suppliers is no mean feat, but Greg Jackson is confronting the issue head one with a raft of initiatives that will not only revolutionise the UK energy sector but bring change to markets all over the world. I visited him at his London HQ to have a chat about what he's up to."

Project Feed the Hood is a food literacy and community gardening initiative of SWOP that aims to improve community health through education and revival of traditional growing methods.
Across the globe, exploitive food systems undermine health, dignity, democracy and human rights. Low-income communities of color face daily obstacles to provide quality meals for their families.

"This ancient bit of ingenuity keeps carbon trapped for thousands of years"
by Matt Simon for Grist [Mar 03, 2025] [Audio available]

https://grist.org/science/ancient-carbon-credit-trapped-biochar/

Quotes:
"Turning plant waste into biochar captures loads of carbon. New research suggests it stays trapped for much longer than scientists thought."

"For all its plant and animal life aboveground, the Amazon rainforest’s soils are surprisingly poor in nutrients necessary for growing food. Thousands of years ago, the region’s Indigenous peoples solved this problem by creating “terra preta” from table scraps and charcoal and tucking it away in the hostile soil."

"As biomass like trees and crops grow, they sequester carbon in their leaves and branches. Heat that biomass up without fully consuming it and it turns to nearly pure carbon known as biochar,"

"The nagging question, though, is exactly how long that carbon stays in the soil. A new study adds to a growing body of evidence that scientists have been underestimating the staying power of biochar, meaning the technology is actually an even more powerful way to store carbon than previously thought."

"Nailing down exactly how long biochar can hold onto carbon is crucial for the carbon-removal credit industry, where companies like Microsoft and Google fund projects to draw carbon out of the atmosphere."

"Much as humans eat food off dishes instead of eating the dishes themselves, bacteria and fungi choose to eat organic matter like leaves over biochar. “It’s kind of like if you have a nice piece of cake and they bring it to us on a plate, we’re going to eat the cake,” Sanei said. “If we are very hungry, we eat it much faster. But still, we’re not going to eat the plate.”
