forest-zone oil palm dilemma needs more than stricter laws, Hasanuddin study finds
Analysis shows that effective restoration must balance forest protection with smallholder livelihoods, land rights, and economic interests

#China 10 points in #marketing, 0 points in real advantages.

This reminds me the #eclipse mad people in Spain. Do you really need to be everywhere everytime? #tourism #sustainability Do you know what it means for the #planet? We keep on being like the mad people from Laputa portraited by Jonathan Swift

This is a very long shot (and has nothing to do with history & co ), but does anyone know of a database/book/compehensive list, or someone who might know one, about crop responses to deficit irrigation?

Also: accessible without academic affiliation.

Your coding agent just spent 10 million tokens to fix a single bug. Is it worth it? 😉

Other researchers have found similar results. Bai et al. (2026) measured coding agents on real software tasks and found they consume roughly 1,000 times the tokens of an ordinary chatbot interaction. And these sort of agents tasks represent the most rapid driver of increased AI usage; Anthropic’s Economic Index found that 97% of their API usage now show “automation-dominant” patterns associated with agents.

"To become genuinely empowered, people can work in community to meet their essential needs — food, housing, healthcare, education, energy, technology and economic stability. This is not theory. It’s already happening. Across the globe, people are building systems from the ground up that meet human needs while resisting corporate and state overreach."

Aktuell läuft in #Chemnitz die MAM2026 - eine internationale Tagung der Halbleiterindustrie und -Forschung.

Nach dem Eröffnungsvortrag startete die erste Session mit dem Themenschwerpunt #sustainability
(mam2026.org/2026/program.php?d…)

Darunter die Vorträge:
"Sustainable processing in microelectronics manufacturing" (@tuchemnitz leider ausgefallen) , " Eco-conception for BEOL processes" (STMicroelectronics) und "PFAS-free Polyimide Passivation Thin Films" (@fraunhofergesellschaft IKTS)

Das Topic #Nachhaltigkeit ist auch in der eher konservativen Halbleiterei brandaktuell.

Die zerbrechlichen Ketten der Bequemlichkeit

Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas

Wir haben unsere digitale Freiheit gegen Komfort eingetauscht. Microsoft, Amazon, Google und Meta bestimmen, wie wir kommunizieren, arbeiten und denken. Der CrowdStrike-Schock war kein Unglück, er war eine Ansage. Es ist Zeit, die Ketten zu sprengen. Ein Plädoyer für die digitale Emanzipation Europas. [Mehr lesen...]

How to restore the web of life in farmland?

How can the efficiency of environmental agricultural schemes be improved? Dr Elena Velado-Alonso has been awarded a Postdoc fellowship to find out. She will look at the complex connections between pollinators, plants and harvests across entire landscapes to gain insight into how schemes can be better designed to support both nature and sustainable food: uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html…

Congratulations to Elena for #METAGROLAND #MSCA funding!

Many institutions are committed to #sustainability.
For this reason alone, #digitalsovereignty should be important to them.

Two years ago, scientists from @JLBe and its network published a study on the sustainable use of #smartphones.
👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/fu…
It showed that typical #socialmedia apps such as #Instagram, #TikTok, #YouTube, etc. on #cellphones conflict with a number of sustainability goals.
Among other things, they cause high #energy consumption, which is not incurred directly on the smartphone, but in #datacenters and transmission networks. A large proportion of the #electricity consumption is due to the fact that these apps do not respect #privacy and data protection, but instead spy on users.

The use of #Mastodon and other #Fediverse services is more sustainable because much less data is exchanged between users' smartphones and the service instances.

Good news. Murena works together with shiftphone.

Diversity in forest management promotes biodiversity

An international team studied #ManagementZoning in European beech woods using real-world data and virtual landscapes. They collected data about three types of #ForestManagement to develop “virtual forest landscapes” for analysis: uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html…

So, you want to

• surrender to a 7x default #tax increase for European companies (2.);
• urge European companies to buy liquified natural #gas, #oil, #nuclear energy products for 750 billion USD; as well as NVIDIA chips for 40 billion USD, to burn our planet faster (5.);
• urge European companies to invest 600 billion USD in the USA, to increase our unemployment rates (6.);
• accept lower #car environmental and safety US standards, and to extend this "approach" to other sectors, as well (8.);
• lower European standards, including sanitary ones, to allow for importing more US food and agricultural products (9.);
• drop putting a price on carbon emissions for US products (11.);
• drop #sustainability requirements for US products (12.);
• allow the US to bypass our own checks, and to allow US regulators to declare that US telco products meet European #cybersecurity requirements (13.);
• weaken #copyright protections to foster the business models of US "#AI" corporations (15.);
• ask the US for permission when the #EU wants to change their tax laws (18.).

This is unconditional surrender. You're the best lobbyists and foreign agents Trump ever had, and disgusting traitors of Europe.

#USpol #EUpol

cars and airplanes are amazing mobility devices, they have their place in a sustainable future for Europe, but structuring the entire society and economy around them has been a profound mistake that needs serious effort to reverse.

Bikes and trains (and their powerful combination!) should rise much higher in people's preferences but that can only happen if the convenience and price become irresistible.
