‘It needs to stay in the loop’: German reuse schemes turn shopping upside down

After success of bottle deposit schemes, some retailers are trying to widen culture of reuse – and start tackling Europe’s waste problem

The ECHR ruling has the potential to effect really significant change in climate policy.

...and in the UK, to push the Tories to pull us out of the ECHR before we get to a general election?

Greta Thunberg will be blocking traffic in the Netherlands this Saturday

The renowned young climate activist, Greta Thunberg, will attend Saturday’s blockade of the A12 highway in The Hague, led by Extinction Rebellion (XR). The protests aim to pressure the government to end tax breaks for companies that use fossil fuels. So why will a big name like Thunberg be present?…

We must act to halt the #ClimateEmergency now.

We must listen to this call from senior Paediatrician Dr Kingdon

Those who do not act now, do not care for our children and grandchildren, who are already suffering hugely.

We must do all we can to act.

Really inspiring to read Habeck's story and his passion to lead #Germany towards a #Green future

In the UK, we need to focus on bringing people towards a vision of turning it country to sustainable happy enjoyable place for future generations.

The trials of Robert Habeck: is the world’s most powerful green politician doomed to fail?

The long read: A year ago, Germany’s vice-chancellor was one of the country’s best-liked public figures. Then came the tabloid-driven backlash. Now he has to win the argument all over again

@[email protected] I see a lot of change in Germany. After experimenting with cheap public transport last year (a monthly ticket for ALL local transport in Germany was only €9 for 3 months, yes, subsidized) we now have the DE-ticket, which covers ALL local traffic for €49 in subscriptions. Many people are using it to shift from cars to buses or trains. My town has started using E-buses and has shifted the local small ferries to E-Boats (and the fare is included in the DE-Ticket). #ClimateHope
