Sehr gerne. Weiter so. Wir brauchen solche Posts so dringend. Was hältst Du von den den neuesten Nachrichten über Trump als russischer Agent? Es passt schon zu dem was die Regierung gerade macht.

Krasnov
Kras in russian is for red/orange, and it seems to fit him.

Gut gesagt. Es ist fast nicht zu fassen, dass das Thema Klima ausgeklammert wurde.

Ironically yes, normal today equals woke. Maybe not extreme woke, but woke. I am fine with that. Woke sprung out of many groups being marginalised, silenced and unrepresented. #woke

Normal today is basically anything that isn’t fascist, white supremacist, Nazified, homophobic, transphobic, racist, misogynistic and generally intolerant.

The Green Deal addresses how we can still have a sustainable future in Europe. Whether we keep it strong depends essentially on whether Germany is behind it. That depends on the election outcome this Sunday. Vote for your future. #Bundestagswahl

I am from UK and Germany. I am in awe of what you Ukrainians have managed. Such fighters, such strong spirits. We need a lot of this in Europe right now.

Yes, but in terms of the extent of land that needs restoring, including grasslands, there will be more space for low stocking rate pasture in conservation and restoration. See the EU Restoration Law. We ecologists know that herbivores are key for biodiversity.

Exactly. Continued mass consumption is the problem and the industrialised agriculture.

Please read what I commented above. Beef is not always bad. It can do good for biodiversity and climate under way lower conservation-driven stocking rates.

Indeed. That is in my eyes an excellent goal. It would come with major health and biodiversity benefits too. So we need to not demonise cattle as they can be part of the solution as long as we strongly reduce our beef or meat consumption.

The article is good but does not address the important idea of lowering meat consumption. If one has that as an aim, then regerative beef consumption can make sense again.

Trump’s ‘Gender Ideology’ order creates a federal mandate defining gender as the sex of an embryo at conception.
Impacts: As all embryos have female sex characteristics at conception, all Americans are now defined as female under this order. (3/3)
