We have to turn

"Sure, I would join in, if others started acting."

into

"I'm acting to inspire others to join in."

for the climate, for democracy, for the future.

QUESTION:

For a new project, I’m compiling a comprehensive list of cities that are showing REAL CURRENT LEADERSHIP around #ClimateAction! Cities on every continent, and of every size.

What cities should I be sure to include? Bonus points if you include a great recent project/action they’re doing.

Es ist Freitag. Klimafreitag. Und in der heißen, alles auf den Kopf stellenden Phase zwischen Wahlkampf, Koalitionsverhandlungen, Grundgesetzänderungen, Kriseneskalationen und unnötigen Wirtschaftskriegen, in der niemand von uns so richtig weiß, wo ihm der Kopf steht, drehen wir das Tempo runter.

Wir machen wir einen Schritt zurück, atmen tief durch und schauen mal, wie wir eigentlich hier gelandet sind. Wie kommt es eigentlich, dass es My Friday heute gibt?

Unsere Mitgründerin Katja erzählt in ihrem heutigen Artikel, wie sie herausgefunden hat, was sie gegen die Klimakrise tun kann. Und wie daraus, in vielen kleinen und ein paar großen Schritten, und mit vielen anderen Menschen zusammen, My Friday geworden ist. Vielleicht hilft dir ihre Geschichte ja dabei, diese Frage für dich selber auch zu beantworten? Oder hast du deine persönlichen Hebel für Veränderung schon längst gefunden? Dann würden wir uns riesig freuen, wenn du uns davon erzählst.

Schreib uns, wie du herausgefunden hast, was du gegen die Klimakrise tun kannst. Und lasst uns Geschichten vom Gelingen sammeln!

Los geht’s!

Zum Artikel geht's hier lang: https://my-friday.org/was-kannst-du-tun/wie-ich-herausfand-was-ich-gegen-die-klimakrise-tun-kann/

Mission Statement [reviwed and edited 24-12-21]
[but don't hold me to it]

After the devastating Dutch elections [‘23-11-22] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal.
I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.

First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about:
* #ClimateSolutions
Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem.
* #ClimateJustice
One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or #Ecoside
* #ClimateAction
Action is by all means a solution.
* #ClimateEmergency
* #Climate

As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people!
On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.

Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.

I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.

I tend to toot 10-15 toots at 13:00* that I boost again unchanged at 20:00* the same day, but that's NOT a promise. [*=my [Amstedam] time]

I might be interested in: #StopCopCity #ClimateFinance #Capitalism #Energy #USpolitics #Ukraine #Europe #Bernie #XR #OceanCleanup #NextBlue #InductionCooking #TaxTheRich #Africa #FemaleSoccer #Ajax #WomensRights #Indigenous #BigOil #Greta #CityDesign #VanessaNakate #2030 #Wildfires / #Floods #IPCC #AOC and more.
But after a year or two there appear to be 4 general topics: #Climate #Gaza / #IsraeliGenocide #USpolitics and #Ukraine

I tend to follow anyone who 'retoots' or 'favourites' my toots. Forget it, I'm vain.
If any of my 'followers' wants to opt out... this is your chance, as always.

UL researchers to explore impact of eBike use among parents and older people

ISCycle is examining how eBikes can change transport behaviours to improve health and reduce emissions

Sustainable #anesthesia: #CharitéBerlin has reduced the annual CO2 emissions originating from gaseous anesthetics by over 80 percent since 2018. Using climate-friendlier anesthetics in the operating room was the key to success.

This saves ~6,000 metric tons of #CO2 a year, the equivalent of 300 average German households’ emissions, while also cutting costs – and benefiting patients as well.
