I don’t want Elon’s flying car. I want clean, swimmable, drinkable rivers. I want thriving, diverse ecosystems. I want a stable climate. I want healthy communities. I want institutions that look beyond the next three years. By: Jonathan Tonkin! #ClimateAction #biodiversity #sustainability #EnvironmentJustice #cleanwateract

Our Water Well Project is moving forward again after a recent pause and we are almost there! Thank you so much for being patient & supportive, becuase we are now working towards bringing the water closer to our farm and community, regardless of all the challenges. We’re happy to be back with an update on our water well project after a period of silence. The quietness was because of the challenges i.e we had to find an advanced drilling company with the correct gears and expertise to proceed on that greater depth(>100ft), we also had to raise the new funding(1200 eur)... On the other hand, the drilling its self with a new advanced company has also been very very slow because of the rainy season that has been interrupting. The attached photos show the water that collects every after 5 hours which is a clear sign for the experts to say we are near the water table Bottom line; This journey is not easy at all, but not impossible. #uptdate #sustainability #waterwellproject #solarpunk

How much agricultural land is used by an average omnivore and an average vegan (based on average western data)? The table below shows the hectares of land used by one person. (data are obtained by Gemini.) An omnivore uses three times as much agricultural land as a vegan, mostly due to the extra grazing land. #Data #Gemini #land #vegan #plantbased #sustainability #farming #diet #food

📰 Solar Panels Save Cranberry Bogs 🌎 Massachusetts: Long‑idle cranberry bogs are producing again thanks to agrivoltaics that make the economics work. ☀️ Panels raised high above the vines let farmers keep cultivating while earning steady land‑lease income, a dual‑revenue model that finally makes cranberry farming here viable again. 🤝 An example of how clean energy can help farmers regain stability instead of walking away from land they couldn’t afford to farm. 🔗 More https://electrek.co/2026/10/16/solar-panels-are-bringing-idle-cranberry-bogs-back-to-life/ #SolarPunkSunday #Agrivoltaics #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Climate #Environment

🏜️ China's giant Gobi solar plant runs after dark on salt, not batteries 「 During the day, the PV array feeds the grid at full load. The CSP unit does something different: 260,000 tracking mirrors covering 800,000 square meters of collector surface focus sunlight to heat molten salt to 550°C (1,022°F). That heat is stored, then used to produce steam and spin a turbine once the sun goes down 」 https://electrek.co/2026/07/09/china-hami-solar-molten-salt-storage/ #china #solarpower #sustainability

💰️ Capitalism: Malignant by Design https://blog.Persagen.org/capitalism_cancer.pdf Politics is dominated by wealth, power & influence. Corporations, billionaires, equity-hoarding elites fund think tanks, nonprofits, and lobbyists that author far-right libertarian policy. Elected governments are the front-facing funhouse: smoke, mirrors, managed deception. Social media movements are noise/distraction while strings are pulled from above. Wealth <--> protects <--> power #DemocraticSocialism #equality #sustainability ✊️

Happy Independence Day, Uganda. 🇺🇬 Today, 9 October 2026, we celebrate 64 years of Uganda’s independence since 1962! Independence means having the freedom to make our own choices and shape our future willingly, while respecting others and our shared responsibilities. At Eco Youths Network and @sustainable_schools@mas.to , we choose to use our freedom to protect nature, grow food sustainably, and build a greener future for the next generation. Freedom, responsibility, and a sustainable future!

🌱 Deep native plant roots do more than anchor plants. They act like underground sponges, absorbing rainwater, reducing flooding, erosion and polluted runoff while improving soil health and storing carbon. Unlike shallow-rooted turf, native plants can reach deep into the soil, helping landscapes withstand drought and heavy rain. They also support pollinators, birds and wildlife. Nature has already designed a powerful water-management system. 🌍 #NativePlants #Nature #SoilHealth #Sustainability

💸🫁 “Try holding your breath while you count your money.” The economy depends on nature: healthy soil, clean water, pollinators, forests and biodiversity. Protecting the environment isn’t separate from economic wellbeing, it helps sustain it. 🌍🌱 Let’s build a future where people, nature and livelihoods can thrive together. #Environment #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #NaturePositive

About 77% of global soy is fed to livestock. ⠀ Only a small fraction is eaten directly by humans in foods like tofu, soy milk, tempeh and edamame. ⠀ So when forests are cleared for soy, the bigger story is not vegans eating tofu. ⠀ It’s animals being fed soy so humans can eat the animals. The tofu is not the problem. ⠀ The feed system is. ⠀ Sources: Our World in Data #vegan #soy #tofu #food #sustainability #govegan
