Saya setuju Nepal berhak menuntut keadilan iklim. Tapi kalau negara tetangga diseret juga, sorotan utama harusnya ke China sebagai salah satu penghasil emisi terbesar dunia. Gak masuk akal kalau Indonesia dibebani sama—apalagi kita sendiri masih punya banyak ketidakadilan lingkungan yang belum beres, di mana rakyat lokal yang kena dampak, pihak lain yang nikmati untung. Keadilan iklim itu sederhana: siapa yang paling besar merusak, dia yang bayar paling besar.

Hati rasanya sakit melihat kondisi seperti ini masih terjadi di negeri kita. Anak-anak cuma ingin belajar, tapi malah harus hadapi sekolah rusak dan tenda seadanya pasca gempa. Kalau kita benar-benar peduli masa depan Indonesia, memastikan sekolah yang aman dan layak seharusnya bukan hal yang perlu diperjuangkan berkali-kali.

@accuweather It's heartbreaking to see another major eruption happening again here in Indonesia. Praying for the safety of everyone in the surrounding areas, and hoping both people and wildlife are protected from the ash and its effects. 💔

[Gabriel Ramos @GabRam89]

Setuju, kondisi seperti ini tidak boleh dianggap sebagai hal biasa setiap musim kemarau. Kalimantan punya hutan yang menjadi kekayaan Indonesia, jadi sangat menyedihkan kalau masyarakat harus menghirup udara berbahaya karena kebakaran yang terus berulang. Kita perlu melindungi warga sekaligus menjaga hutan kita dengan lebih serius. Semoga keadaan segera membaik.

Semoga Hafidz segera ditemukan dalam keadaan baik. Kalau orang yang menyampaikan kritik mulai diperlakukan seperti ancaman, kita perlu serius bertanya ke mana arah demokrasi Indonesia. Jangan sampai ruang beda pendapat perlahan menyempit seperti di negara-negara dengan kontrol keras, termasuk China. Kritik dan demonstrasi bukan musuh negara, justru cara rakyat menjaga negaranya.

It looks like someone put plastic in your tea. 👀

Most commercial tea bags, including ones that look like paper, are sealed with polypropylene, a petroleum-based plastic.

When you pour boiling water over your tea, the heat causes those plastic fibers to shed directly into your drink.

A McGill University study found that a single plastic tea bag releases approximately 11.6 billion microplastic particles and 3.1 billion nanoplastic particles into one cup of tea. Not over a lifetime of drinking tea. Per cup.

Researchers at the University of Barcelona confirmed those particles are absorbed by human intestinal cells and can enter the cell nucleus.

The long-term health effects aren't fully understood yet. What is understood: you're drinking billions of plastic particles every time you make a cup.

The fix costs about $12 and takes 30 seconds to learn. Loose leaf tea. Stainless steel infuser. Done. The tea tastes better anyway.

Animal abuse is becoming disturbingly normalized in China.

This screenshot from a Chinese social media platform shows a mother cat in a cage forced to watch as her kittens are beaten into minced meat — then fed back to her.

Comments range from mockery ("Hahaha", "So fragrant!") to outright calls for the "legalization of cat abuse."In a country with no national animal cruelty laws, torture videos (especially cat crush/deleter content) are produced on demand, sold internationally, and have surged 500% in monitored groups.

Networks treat it like entertainment or a business.This isn't "just a few bad people." It's a subculture enabled by weak laws and online platforms.

We need real change: stronger animal protection laws in China and global pressure on platforms to stop hosting this content.

Share if you stand against animal torture. Report abuse wherever you see it.#StopCatTorture #ChinaAnimalCruelty #AnimalRights #EndAnimalAbuse #FelineGuardians

In an alternate universe, the elephants took his head and hung it up on a wall.

[Gabriel Ramos @GabRam89]

@ABC So much for China’s supposedly superior infrastructure. Cars are being swept away, roads are failing, and the many people already living on the streets may now lose even the little shelter they had. Truly a “world-class” system.

[Gabriel Ramos @GabRam89]

Antarctica is supposed to be one of the last places protected from human greed. But apparently even the edge of the world is not far enough from China’s appetite for control and extraction. Nothing says “peaceful rise” like dragging industrial-scale fishing into one of the most fragile ecosystems on Earth. China doesn’t care who or what gets harmed, as long as the catch comes home.

[Gabriel Ramos @GabRam89]

A rooftop mist system sounds useful... assuming it actually performs as advertised. The marketing is usually much more reliable than the technology itself. China has a habit of making everything look futuristic. Making it genuinely effective is a different challenge. I also can't help laughing a little whenever China unveils another "revolutionary" solution. I'd rather see healthier urban planning and more green spaces than another flashy fix. When it comes to China, I'm always left wondering whether the system cools the neighborhood as well as the propaganda cools public criticism.

[Gabriel Ramos @GabRam89]

This is what happens when animals are treated as collectibles instead of living creatures. China’s demand for rare and exotic animals has helped normalize an industry where wildlife is collected, priced, and displayed like luxury goods. This teaches people to see nature as something to own instead of protect. And, sometimes nature finds a brutal way to expose how wrong that is.

[Gabriel Ramos @GabRam89]

Indonesia has so much biodiversity to protect, and this ban shows real responsibility. We are a country blessed with incredible wildlife, but that blessing comes with responsibility. Banning elephant rides isn't just policy; it's a statement that cruelty has no place in our tourism. We should be known not only for our beautiful nature, but for defending it. No tourist experience is worth breaking an elephant’s body or spirit.

@earthcurated Isn't that every day...?

[Earth @earthcurated]

Here's a Wimbledon fact you probably didn't know... 🎾

Many of the tournament's used tennis balls are given a second life as miniature shelters for harvest mice through conservation projects across the UK. 🐭💚

[Gabriel Ramos @GabRam89]

@earthcurated People often talk about extinction like it's only about poaching, but habitat loss is even more frightening because it destroys everything at once. A forest cleared today isn't just land being changed; it's food, shelter, breeding grounds, and climate balance being erased.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

In 1987, Costa Rica was 21% forest. Today it's 57%.

In the 1990s, Costa Rica passed a law that pays landowners directly for the ecosystem services their forest provides: carbon storage, watershed protection, biodiversity, soil stability. The payments are funded by a tax on fossil fuels.

Keep your trees standing and the government cuts you a check. Clear them and you lose the income.

Nearly a million hectares have been protected or restored under the program. Species that had retreated or disappeared from large parts of the country are recovering. The forest came back because the incentive structure changed, not because people were told to care more.

But it crashed the economy, right? Not at all.

Costa Rica became the top per capita agricultural exporter in Latin America. Tourism built around its forests and biodiversity became one of its largest industries. The economy didn't absorb the cost of keeping the forest. The forest became part of what grows their economy.

This is the version of the story most people never hear, the one where protecting nature and economic growth pointed in the same direction because we humans designed it that way.

It's not forests or the economy and it never had to be.
