Whales can help us fight climate change
The attempt to increase the number of whales could be seen as a benign form of geo-engineering. A large whale absorbs on average 33 tonnes of CO2, while a tree, for example, stores less than 50 kg annually.- animal welfare

Reuse food containers to reduce plastic pollution
Sadly, it’s almost impossible to avoid plastic when shopping for groceries. Almost everything comes wrapped in it, and most of this packaging is unnecessary.
We can change that. Take the reusable container challenge and join the movement that is already transforming the way we shop for groceries! This could be the new normal!

Good news: The ozone hole above the Antarctic closed at the end of December.
The ozone layer, located at an altitude between 10 and 40 kilometers, protects us from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays from the sun. In 2019, it had been significantly less extensive: the last two seasons of the ozone hole demonstrate its year-to-year variability and improve our understanding of the factors responsible for its formation, extent, and severity.- Antarctic

Warmest decade ever has come to the end
The last decade was the hottest on record, with a 1.25°C increase in average temperature over the pre-industrial period. Emissions are also increasing. It is yet another confirmation of the trend of recent years. The extraordinary climate events of 2020 and data show us that we have no time to waste. We must come together as a global community to ensure a just transition to a net zero future.- Arctic Ocean
