We all know the urban greening Paris has been doing. But do we know what Warsaw Poland has been doing? Impressive. “Not so long ago, they were dominated by cars, concrete, & asphalt. Today, they're full of greenery, pedestrian-friendly, & better for the climate.” The New Center of Warsaw project.
ZDM Warszawa@zdmwarszawa.bsky.social · last mo.Jeszcze nie tak dawno zdominowane przez samochody, beton i asfalt. Dziś pełne zieleni, przyjazne pieszym, lepsze dla klimatu. Tak wyglądają teraz ulice Złota i Zgoda. Właśnie zakończyliśmy kolejny ważny etap projektu Nowe Centrum Warszawy. ℹ️ zdm.waw.pl/ZłotaZgodaGotowe

Meanwhile, this today, via @apnews.com. Yes, that's climate change; i.e. us dumping CO₂ into the atmospheric sewer. Hundreds dead.
In 2000 was al duidelijk dat we niet van Gronings gas afhankelijk konden blijven. Russisch gas is altijd problematisch geweest, maar in 2022 was het overduidelijk dat de gassituatie onhoudbaar was. Zonnepanelen en warmtepompen zijn zwaar gesubsidieerd, dus het kost minder dan een gemiddelde […]

My 5yo’s interpretation of Scylla vs Charybdis. My husband always worries this kid is gonna get beat up and…I’m starting to see it. Hard being a genius.

Kid introduced sunglasses to car door. Repairing plastic is pretty tricksy but straightening these microscopic screws is also going to be a challenge. If only I could fish through the bin at the returns department of these models. NGL: the bin is tempting over here as well #RepairReuseRecycle
