The Carney government wants to pare back aspects of Canada’s anti-greenwashing law, telling @meyer.bsky.social it prevents the fossil fuel industry and other groups from sharing their environmental claims. Critics say the law might be working as intended. thenarwhal.ca/greenwashing...

Canada says anti-greenwashing rules silence industry | The Narwhal

Carney is moving to nix some of Canada’s rules that restrict how oil and gas companies and other industries advertise environmental claims

Tree species' cultural value often mirrors ecological presence, but not always. Apple & ash trees are culturally vital despite low abundance, linked to rich ecosystem services & care practices.

I crunched the numbers on my not-very-scientific survey of why people don't plant native plants. 210 people answered this Q. I read through the comments & categorized concerns into 10 categories. Most common reasons were 1) Lack of Knowledge 2) No Time 3) Money 4) No good source for native plants

a bar graph of the 10 most common reasons that people don't plant native plants. 25% of the respondents said a lack of knowledge about what to plant was a problem, then 18% said no time, 17% said no money, 15% said no plant availability near them, 14% said HOAs or Landlords got in the way, 12% were afraid of failing, 10% said their health made it hard to plant stuff, 8 said they had no land, 7% said native plants are ugly, 5% said that animals eat the native plants, 3% said they only had limited space and chose to plant food for them instead of native plants, 3% said they couldn't get invasive species under control, and 3% said their ADHD gets in the way of completing projects

Alright I have a question for *all of you*, esp for those of you who are not into environment stuff. When you think about planting native plants in the area you control, what *prevents* you from taking that action? These could be emotional, financial, practical, anything. RTs appreciated here.

Can we expand the narrative and definition of human development to include flourishing with nature? Our new paper in Nature explores such a vision, and outlines a metric - the Nature Relationship Index - to sit alongside the Human Development Index. @naturerecovery.bsky.social

Today, PM Mark Carney announced the tabling of Bill C-5. Its proposed process for projects deemed “in the national interest” would directly undermine environmental protections and threaten Indigenous rights, while shutting down democratic decision-making. ⚠️ Read our network's response 👇

Work weeks like last one are a dream. As part of the Beijer Institute's Young Scholar Program, I got to meet with brilliant scholars from around the world working on theories, models and cases to better understand, prevent and adapt to shocks in an increasingly turbulent world.

U.S. research funding cuts change landscape for Canadian universities, researchers

Canadian university researchers receive a relatively small amount of direct and indirect funding from U.S. agencies, but the cross-border research relationship is closely intertwined
