I was really skeptical at first, but they’re legit. It’s a non-profit that’s been around since 2009, based in Berlin. Have a look at their blog, you’ll find project updates, the financials are broken down by expenditure and much more. Finally they’re getting some spotlight with this recent TechCrunch article and their big efforts on Social. What really hooked me in is that they signed a legal contract binding them to the not-for-profit purpose forever - more on this. Edit: about Mr. Oliver (love this guy) he is absolutely correct, but he is referring to for-profit companies that pollute and then plant some trees to pretend like they give a damn. Ecosia is a not-for-profit whose purpose is to plant with a purpose, meaning they reconnect forest patches that have been split, they return livelihood and wildlife to areas that have gone through droughts and seen increased poverty etc…
Remember, Trump moved the whole US embassy to Jerusalem just to give Palestinians the middle finger. www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN1I810Z/ You can be sure that a very high majority of US politicians will take the same pro-Israel stand. The reason is simply campaign funding and lobbying. Look at AIPAC
The right thing to do would be to seize Boeing, take it away from its shareholders, hold and interrogate the major shareholders, and regardless of the outcome of interrogations the company should never return to the public. Either dismantle and sell every pathetic asset, or run it as a public company. This is a no-brainer, they should not be allowed to continue with business as usual even if no one is found guilty or no direct link is established.
Todays electronics is fast. Imagine how much natural resources could be saved if manufacturers delivered software support until device is truly unusable due to hardware limitations....
Very good alternative but this pushes the responsibility on the end user. Manufacturers should instead adjust their destructive approach on hardware and software. Our phones are built to break at the first fall and now we all have to buy cases to protect them, and if they survive long enough well it’s the software that becomes obsolete… how silly is that
The time and effort you put into typing this comment, would have been better spent discussing the more important, relevant and dangerous issues you can find simply in the headline. 1- big oil has our politicians in their pockets. 2- The UK government is putting people in jail for protesting, not rioting. And so what if you’re late for work? Are you so overpaid that you prioritize getting to the office on time over a protest to avoid planetary genocide? Turn off your car and join the march!!
We saw the same tonight as well from northern Italy about 2 hours ago. The moonlight interacts with ice crystals in the air and creates this rainbow / halo 🤯
The speech was very balanced and fair. The problem to the israeli government is that it did not throw all of the blame on palestinians or hamas, and therefore they took offence.
Now is a good time to flood Wikipedia with donations. For the first time in my life, i have just donated to them and will do so again. You can do it too for a minimum of €2, no requirement for recurring donations or any nonsense.
It wouldn’t necessarily be a parking lot though would it? That’s just convenient for your argument. The truth is it would be extra easy and cheap to turn golf courses into public parks, with local trees and flowers instead of water guzzling grass. That would improve weather events, wildlife and human lives’ quality in the area.

That's wonderful. Another self destructive strategy. I also deleted my account and posts on Twitter a couple of weeks ago. The Reddit debacle left me wondering, what the hell am i still doing on Twitter anyways? And now i am free of both accounts 😎
How do you properly conjugate "Reddit" in Latin? First, you need to know if the proper noun, "Reddit", is male or female and base the conjugation of the verbs in the sentence on its gender , just as in Spanish or French. Reddito? As in "Carthago Delenda Est"? At first, it seemed easy to just use "Reddito", since Carthage was a...
This is a graphic novel webcomic. It has now been 10 years running, with one or two pages update every friday. My personal favorite since I’ve started reading it around 7 years ago. Great story, universe, character development and style. I cannot recommend it enough. Warning: much gore. Hope you like it.
