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!

If you own the seeds you own the food system

Acting on the food sector to slow the climate crisis
The use of land brings a fragmentation of habitats and a loss of biodiversity that tends to increase the possibility of contact with animal species capable of transmitting viruses to which humans are not accustomed. The climate and health emergencies may seem like separate crises, but this is not the case.- agriculture

European Biodiversity Strategy supports organic farming
“To provide space for wild animals, plants, pollinators and natural pest regulators, there is an urgent need to bring back at least 10% of agricultural area under high-diversity landscape features. These include, inter alia, buffer strips, rotational or non-rotational fallow land, hedges, non-productive trees, terrace walls and ponds,” the European Biodiversity Strategy reads.- agriculture

Global leaders meet virtually at the Climate Ambition Summit
The UN chief said economic recovery packages launched in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic represented an opportunity to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future — but warned so much more needs to be done to ward off catastrophic consequences. So far, the members of the G20 are spending 50% more in their stimulus and rescue packages on sectors linked to fossil fuel production and consumption, than on low-carbon energy.- agriculture
