We welcome US announcement that fully vaccinated EU travellers will soon be able to travel to the US again.
A long-awaited step for separated families & friends, and good news for business.
We'll continue working for safe travel.

"The #meattax of €0.47/100g beef would reduce beef consumption by 67% by 2030."
If that is true, this is the most effective #carbontax in human history, and it should be implemented asap.
The revenues can be used to compensate poor farmers for a socially just #climatetaxshift.

This #cruiseschip ship will run on (Norwegian) #hydrogen combined with battery storage as soon as 2023.
And what's more, the shipping will not be new but retrofitted, which adds a '#climate meets #circulareconomy' flavour to the project.

"People in UK towns and cities are 25 times more likely to die from long-term exposure to pollution than in a car crash."
Scottish government is preparing an #AirPollution plan with a strong focus on #woodburning.

For the first time, the world has used 100 billion tonnes of resources in one year, and only 8.6% of this is circular.
Despite the popular discourse of #circulareconomy, the world is not approaching it, but moving away from it.

Food is responsible for 26% of global #GHG emissions.
Packaging and transport only account for 5% and 6% of the food #carbonfootprint. 53% is livestock, its feed, and its land use.
If we want to #decarbonize food, meat is the place to start.

Will the #EUgreenDeal cost us money? Maybe. But what are its benefits?
- 400,000 premature deaths due to #airpollution
+ 40% available water
- 90,000 deaths from #heatwaves
- 660,000 #climaterefugees
- 16% species extinction risk
- €190bio economic loss
➡️Best #costbenefit ever!
What if we don’t act?
The cost of the transition will be big, but the cost of non-action will be much bigger on many levels:
🌫️ pollution
🏜️ heat and drought
🌊 flooding
💶 economic losses

All 7 @Pop_Machina pilot cities are organizing a workshop gathering local makers, aimed at mapping the local #makermovement and translate this into 7 maker #citypassports.
Today, @stadleuven's workshop had nice turnout and great vibes. Promising for next steps!
