New noise cameras in New York City's Upper West Side will snap a pic of cars and motorcycles exceedig 85 decibels (like being next to a lawnmower).

Fines are $220 for a first citation, and up to $2.625 for repeated offenders.

The forest fires aggravated by an invasive eucalyptus population are endangering the UNESCO world heritage, one of a kind laurel forest in Madeira.
500 year-old trees in flames is probably one of the most heart-wrenching things to see .

Another video we made @ClimateAd just to drive the point home. FFS. Come on people, carbon offsets are just stupid, and deep down you all know it

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Does anyone still need a reminder that carbon offsets are fossil fuel industry bullshit? Preserve the status quo? Slow down change? And worst of all don't work?
Here's some facts: https://t.co/d899u9S9bv

The sooner we tax billionaires out of existence the sooner we stop global heating and the better off everyone will be.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

End private jets. Just fucking end them. And declare climate emergency already. Stop fucking around with irreversible Earth breakdown. Let's end this heat nightmare and dismantle the fossil fuel industry that is causing it.

Amsterdam’s plan to remove 11,200 parking spaces from its streets by the end of 2025 is even more inspiring when we realize the kind of people-places that are possible where cars used to be. Example — #Amsterdam’s Elandsgracht between 2014 & 2019, via @schlijper’s great pics.

As of today, Belgians biking to/from work can receive compensation of €0.27/km ($0.48 mile).

For someone with a modest 5 km commute, that amounts to ~€54/month.

British monarchs built wealth from slavery, but no one from the royal family has said sorry for their ancestors' role.

On Saturday, May 6, King Charles will be crowned head of state in the United Kingdom and 14 other countries, including numerous formerly colonized nations like as Jamaica and the Bahamas.

Many of those Caribbean nations are pushing for reparations from the UK government, and for the royal family to acknowledge its ancestors' direct role in slavery.

While King Charles' role as head of state in these independent countries is now largely ceremonial, the royal family's direct involvement in the transatlantic slave trade has become increasingly clear in recent years as former colonial powers such as the Netherlands have apologized.

But Britain has never apologized.

As slavery was abolished throughout the British Empire in the nineteenth century, parliament recognized and approved the payment of 20 million pounds--roughly 300 million pounds in today's money--not to formerly enslaved Africans, but to slave owners as compensation.

This distribution ended eight years ago but was insufficient.

When you look at the core causes of underdevelopment in our countries, such as Africa, you will find that they are tied to the slave trade and colonialism.

It is always upsetting to reveal these awful legacies of our colonial past.

However, it is difficult to forget Britain's kidnapping, slaughter, and enslavement of 3.4 million Africans.

Some people ask why don't we just forget the past and move on. Marcus Garvey got it right.
Our past shapes our future.

In 2015 MP. David Cameron told the former colony of Jamaica to "move on" from asking for reparations.

Jamaica is home to the largest Caribbean reparations movement. It announced plans in 2021 to ask the UK for compensation for enslaving 600,000 Africans on plantations that built British wealth.

Ahead of the coronations, CARICOM from Trinidad and Tobago has proposed plans for former colonizers like the UK to forgive the debt and just invest in Caribbean countries.

What are you waiting for? A small group of British MPs has also begun to advocate for compensation. Join us in demanding an apology and restitution for the former colony; together, we shall strip the emperor and the monarch naked. Simultaneously, we will obtain justice for our people.

Aaand the #MetGala is giving Hunger Games vibes 🤢 There has never been a larger wealth gap in human history. Feudalism was nothing compared to today.
The suffering of the literal 90% of the world is feeding the richest. Excess wealth and spending our common resources is theft
