Two trillion gallons of water trigger historic flooding in Hawaiʻi

More than 2 trillion gallons of water—enough to fill 3 million Olympic-sized swimming pools—inundated Hawaiʻi in March. The accumulated rainfall over 14 days reached as high as 3,000% of normal historical levels for this time of year, culminating in a destructive "rain bomb" over Oʻahu. Through the University of Hawaiʻi's Hawaiʻi Mesonet and the Hawaiʻi Climate Data Portal, researchers captured the scale of these back-to-back Kona low systems, mapping localized threats and providing crucial data on the state's severe flooding.

This bilingual blog post is about the idea of #ecofriendly (public) catering. I don't know what is the state of this in different countries, but I think there are always ways to improve.

Public catering like that of schools or hospitals can be commanded to have Meatless Mondays, and my idea is that we can also "stimulate" this at other places, e.g. in private canteens, by classification / certificate.

Környezetbarát közétkeztetést - Eco-friendly catering

Before the cuts, governments and landowners across #Texas stood to collect nearly $50B from current and planned projects, with roughly 3/4 of counties positioned to benefit. Now, many of these developments—and their hoped-for revenue—face a precarious future. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-clean-energy-future-political-winds/

Texas Saw a $50 Billion Future in Clean Energy. Then the Political Winds Shifted.

Renewables brought income to ranchers and tax revenue to counties long buffeted by boom-and-bust oil cycles. Policy changes in Washington and unease on the ground threaten that momentum.

Cinegetica Ifema Madrid: How a modular Aluvision beMatrix stand delivered premium presence with zero construction waste

Cinegetica Ifema Madrid: How a modular Aluvision beMatrix stand delivered premium presence with zero construction waste - Lemmy.World

Most trade show stands at hunting and wildlife events are purpose-built, used for three days, then scrapped. Cinegetica at Ifema Madrid showed that sustainable booth design doesn’t mean settling for less impact. The stand Adam Expo Stand built for this edition used the Aluvision beMatrix aluminium frame system — a fully modular, reusable structure engineered for reconfiguration across events and footprints without generating construction waste. Why this matters for European exhibitors in 2026: - Zero custom carpentry — beMatrix components connect with precision tolerances; no screws, no glue, no landfill - Fabric graphic panels replace painted walls — swap visuals per event, the frame stays intact - Integrated LED lighting built into the profile eliminates cable chaos and reduces power consumption - Certified reusable — Aluvision beMatrix carries sustainability credentials increasingly required by major European venues including Ifema Madrid The result wasn’t a compromise. It was a visually striking, contemporary stand that functioned as a genuine lead-generation asset while meeting venue eco-requirements. Exhibitors attending Cinegetica’s audience — hunters, conservationists, outdoor professionals — respond particularly well to a sustainability narrative that’s demonstrated through the stand itself, not just printed on a banner.

How is your government responding to the Iran war and oil price shock? - Greenpeace International

We analysed 37 government responses introduced since 28 February 2026 to the Iran war oil shock. Many risk deepening the fossil fuel dependence that caused the crisis in the first place.
