A very good eco-friendly idea for conference badges! Colleagues from the University of Alicante used seeded and plantable name badges for their 9th International Lucentino Colloquium on Translation and Interpreting (dti.ua.es/en/coloquio-...). I planted mine as soon as I got home! #ecolinguistics

Translators, breathe in… breathe out… Now consider the hundreds of thousands of microplastic particles you’re likely inhaling without even noticing. To reduce exposure: use proper filters for your washing machine, vacuum cleaner, and air conditioning.

The air throughout our homes is infused with microplastics. But there are things you can do to breathe less of them

Clouds of microplastics concentrate in the air of our homes, and we could be breathing in millions of them each year. A few changes can help us reduce exposure.

I'd definitely attend this conference if I could! International Conference on Green Language Education: Advancing Environmental Literacy Through Sustainable Language Teaching and Learning (15-17 July 2026, Hong Kong). The topics and the keynote speakers are all super relevant! #ecotranslation

If you're lucky enough to be in Athens at the end of this month, consider attending the interdisciplinary Symposium and Exhibition on Ecological Translation #GoetheInstitut

Happy Earth Day! One year since the ECOTRAD Group (webs.uab.cat/ecotrad/) opened this account! Let's celebrate human and human-centered (AI) translation at the same time as we look after our planet. The main burden is not on individuals, but it doesn't hurt if everyone does their bit. #EarthDay

A few things that you might consider doing this year in honor of #EarthDay: 🛍Thrift instead of buying new, especially for clothes-the fashion industry is particularly bad with pollution 🧪Limit use of pesticides & chemicals 🍔Reduce meat consumption 🚙Carpool/use public transit/EVs ♻️Use less plastic

Translators and language specialists, we suggest you draw your attention towards expanding industries such as renewable energy production, energy-efficient and climate-resilient infrastructure, waste management, pollution control and smart agriculture (climatepromise.undp.org/sites/defaul...).

Learned about these free courses (www.storiescourse.org) today at the Symposium on Ecolinguistics: Language and Ecology in the Anthropocene. The courses, produced by Professor Arran Stibbe and colabs, combine linguistic analysis and ecological awareness. #ecolinguistics #ecotranslation

Just listened to the authors of this corpus-based study live during the Symposium on Ecolinguistics: Language and Ecology in the Anthropocene. There's a lot to be gained from interdisciplinary collaborations between linguists and environmental scientists. #ecolinguistics

Online free event "Language and Ecology in the Anthropocene: A Symposium on Ecolinguistics". Feb 5-6, 2026. It brings together leading international researchers engaged in explorations of the role of language in the life-sustaining interactions of humans, other species, and the more-than-human world

I (Patricia Rodríguez-Inés) attended my first Eco-Translation Network meeting online in December. Lots of amazing people with their minds at work to make a better world. Interesting discussion about the sense of "ownership" and its link with destruction (like when land is owned only to plunder it)

Drought, floods, wildfires—our Christmas breaks don’t feel like they used to. Translators and interpreters: have you noticed shifts in Christmas weather from when you were a child to now? How is the changing climate showing up in your corner of the world? www.bbc.com/future/artic...

How climate change has altered Christmas

While Hollywood's depiction of a white Christmas might be the northern hemisphere ideal, climate change is threatening both winter wonderlands and warmer Christmas traditions.
