Kathmandu, Nepal. From Tintin in Tibet (1960).

Both narrow streets in two very populous cities, one has heavily focused on improving their rail system while putting strict curbs on private vehicle ownership, other has given up completely.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

No, every little bit does not help. We need radical systems change, and continuing to do the same things while trying just a little harder gets in the way of radical systems change.

End the fossil fuel industry. End the single-use plastics industry. Rein in corporate greed.

🔥 Further evidence that the practice of clearing, draining, and converting tropical peatlands into industrial plantations is far from sustainable. 🔥

This is Vancouver today. The mountains have been swallowed by smoke. The air quality is about as bad as it can get.

And yet, we are by far the lucky ones. Thinking of my friends from the Okanagan, from Yellowknife, from all the places that will never be the same again.

[BC Government News @BCGovNews]

Due to significant #BCWildfire activity, please don't travel for non-essential reasons to Central Interior and Southeast BC. An emergency order is in place in the Okanagan to free up temporary accommodation like hotels, motels & campgrounds. Follow @EmergencyInfoBC

Incredible 3-hour timelapse of the McDougall Creek Fire in West Kelowna, BC, spreading at an extreme rate on August 17, 2023. The fire is now estimated to be 11,000 acres in size.

[Bowinn Ma @BowinnMa]

The emergency order is targeted at cities with accommodations we need, but let me be clear: Do not travel to fire affected areas of the province for tourism or fun.

Do not go to the Okanagan.
Do not go to Shuswap.
Do not go to the southeast.
Don't split hairs about what's where.

Nepal is missing food storytellers and narrative that helps us represent the awesome variations across our culture!

A food vlog that explores regional, ethnic and commercial cooking/serving (than restaurant promotion) is WHAT we need!

Whom do you think that person must be?

This is criminal. Of the 23 hydel projects in Himachal Pradesh, 21 violated norms thereby causing flooding. In Punjab alone, 60,000 people affected by floods. These hydel projects must be made to own responsibility, and bear the cost of damage downstream.
