Ecomodernism is environmentalism of hope. Kinda chic. #Ecomodernism #WePlanet

Producing meat currently requires vast amounts of land, contributes to deforestation and leaves our food system vulnerable to extreme weather and disease. Cultivated meat offers another way: real meat, with the potential for a much smaller environmental footprint.

Today is World Krill Day! 🦐 To honor the invertebrate, be sure gto read our report "License to Krill" that dives into the environmental dangers of krill fishing in the Antarctic. WePlaneteers Tea and Anders are at Arendalsuka, Norway to promote the report. shorturl.at/uxSv1 #WorldKrillDay #Krill

"Despair is disempowering. Despair is what the bastards want you to feel." — hopeful, motivating words from our friend @georgemonbiot.bsky.social in @theguardian.com A reminder to remain steadfast in the belief of a better, equitable, climate-stable future. www.theguardian.com/membership/2...

Nuclear energy is not the boogey man the media wants you to think. @ia-aanstoot.bsky.social explains… Read more about our work on nuclear here ➡️ www.weplanet.org/rethinknuclear #WePlanet #NuclearPower #CleanEnergy

Earth is getting darker—and hotter. As glaciers melt and reflective cloud cover declines, our planet absorbs more of the Sun's energy. One surprising reason? Cleaner air means fewer aerosols that help form reflective clouds. Climate is full of crazy feedback loops. #WePlanet #ClimateScience

Seasonal forecast systems have been able to predict ordinary El Niño systems. Until now. The latest outlook from the ECMWF shows this El Niño event peaking around 7.2F (4C). No ensemble has ever forecast an event exceeding 5.4F (3C). Because one has never happened. shorturl.at/JljD8 #ElNino

Heatwaves don't just put people at risk — they also make it harder for nature to do its job. As temperatures rise, plants become less efficient at photosynthesis, reducing their ability to absorb CO2 just when we need it most. actu.epfl.ch/news/heatwav...

Record summer temperatures are wreaking havoc in Europe — but we don't have to accept a fatalistic view of the future. We're not locked in yet. There is still so much to save. It's a call to action for our governments to get comfortable with new climate approaches and technologies ASAP.

Right now anti-gene-editing groups are lobbying MEPs to block crucial innovation that will make European agriculture more sustainable. The final vote on legislation governing the use of New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) will take place next week. Sign our petition: act.weplanet.org/p/eu-support...

Earth, seen from the far side of the moon. We are the only species that can look back at this planet and understand what we're seeing — fragile, magnificent, precious. That awareness is a gift. We have the tools. We have the ingenuity. The future is what we choose. 🌍

As we face the second global energy crisis in five years, remember: the clean energy transition is also an energy security transition. Nuclear, wind, solar and hydro make us less exposed to authoritarian regimes and global shocks. Electrification makes us more resilient.

Power banks & solar/battery charging stations have been delivered to WePlanet Ukraine & their partner, Green Youth of Ukraine. Together they are working for a cleaner, better future for Ukraine even as Putin tries to destroy their country. None of it possible without our donors. Thank you.

There are over 8 billion reasons in this photo to protect our home.

This week @marklynas.bsky.social speaks with Dr. Sylvia Earle, legendary marine biologist & oceanographer. She takes us on a journey from copper diving suite to the transformative technology of cell-cultured fish. Her message - we must choose the future we want. 🎙️Ep available now: link below.

Wealthy nations are telling Africa to stop deforestation — while millions still rely on charcoal to cook. LPG could save millions from deadly indoor air pollution & protect Africa’s forests. But it's being blocked in the name of climate action. They're effectively telling Africa to stop cooking.

Have you ever heard anyone say that there's not enough land for renewables? That solar farms will compromise food production? Bad idea! And 'Saving the World from Bad Ideas' is what we're about, so I was delighted to host the BBC's Tom Heap this week to discuss land issues. youtu.be/hJPDtR_7XK0

“Ultra-processed food” panic is shaping food policy in all the wrong ways. This week @marklynas.bsky.social speaks with food scientist Nesli Sözer about why processing is not the problem — poor nutrition is. 🎙️Ep available now: link below.

The world is scrambling to find alternatives to oil & gas as the crisis in the Middle East escalates. Hydrogen is again being offered up as a possible solution. @mliebreich.bsky.social joined @marklynas.bsky.social on our podcast last year to explain why it's not the solution it's made out to be.

We ❤️ nuclear waste! It's saved billions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. And best of all, it can be recycled into fuel for the future. That's hundreds, if not thousands, of years of potential energy. Let's include nuclear to fix the climate crisis and let's not waste nuclear waste.

Should we be fishing for krill in the Antarctic? This week @marklynas.bsky.social connects via satellite with three researchers aboard a @seashepherdglobal.bsky.social vessel in the Southern Ocean — one of the most remote and important whale feeding grounds on Earth. 🎙️Ep available now: link below.

From democracy to nuclear energy, existential risk, & the solar revolution, @marklynas.bsky.social was joined by an exceptional line-up of guests who are working to build a prosperous, sustainable world for people and nature. 🎙️Watch or listen to all of Season 2 now: weplanet.org/podcast

As the war rages on, our colleagues at WePlanet Ukraine are continuing their work on energy resilience & environmental protection through 12-14 hour power outages in freezing temperatures. Donate today to help keep WePlanet Ukraine’s work going through the freezing winter: shorturl.at/iWHiR

⚡ Australia's fuel vulnerability is real. EVs are part of the solution. Australia holds approximately 25 days of fuel reserves, and we import 80–90% of our liquid fuels, leaving us highly exposed to global shocks.

The EU's impending #veggieburgerban will do nothing to support farmers! The European Commissionand MEPs like Celine Imart are pushing this through under the CAP (Common Agricultural Policy), but it's a distraction from the real issues farmers are facing. 🧵

Is there really not enough land for renewables? This week @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by Tom Heap author of Land Smart: How to Give People and Nature the Space to Thrive—to tackle one of the most important yet least discussed environmental issues: land use. 🎙️Ep available now: link below.

Back in the 19thC people used to boil penguins, harpoon whales and club seals to death. Thank goodness the days of exploitation are over. Except they aren't - trawlers took 620k tonnes of krill from the Antarctic last year, competing with whales for food. marklynas.substack.com/p/why-is-the...

If you want to reduce the environmental footprint of your diet, switching to plant-based milk alternatives is a good option. The good news for dairy lovers is that we can now make precision-fermented dairy which is biologically identical to cow dairy but with a fraction of environmental impact.

This weekend, WePlanet coordinated a protest against the closure of Doel-2 near Antwerp. The owner, French energy company Engie, wants to get rid of their nuclear assets as they'll be more profitable selling gas for the foreseeable future, to burn when renewables don't deliver. Don't stop me now!

‼️Over 600 stakeholders have now united against the "Veggie Burger Ban" From NGO's to companies, the message to the EU institutions is clear: consumers are not confused and we don't need costly restrictions that will harm consumers, businesses, and the shift to sustainable foods. #noconfusion

EU politicians will decide on Wednesday whether to go ahead with the ban on words like burger and sausage for plant-based foods. That means we have one last chance to show how unpopular – and absurd – this policy is. Act now and see what you can do on savetheburger.org
