🌍 International nonprofit ecolabel. We make sure that the energy you consume is 100% renewable and sustainable.

🇪🇺 The European Green Deal is a plan to make

🇪🇺 The European Green Deal is a plan to make the EU’s economy sustainable. The European Union aims to be climate neutral by 2050 by implementing the European Climate Law in order to turn political commitment into legal obligation. The plan is to create opportunities out of climate and environmental challenges.

The European Commission has prepared concrete actions that will offer a strong basis for the new deal. Real benefits include zero pollution, affordable secure energy, smarter transport and high-quality food. All these will contribute to the global green deal. No one will be left behind.

One trillion euros of investment will give investors the confidence to make long-term decisions on environmentally responsible projects. This will mean new jobs, a cleaner environment and a better quality of life for people.

"As one of the first pieces of legislation of the European Green Deal, the Just Transition Fund must live up to its name by supporting real transition, not talk. If the EU wants to show commitment to the Paris Agreement, no coal power plant should be operational beyond 2030. Transition means change to clean, renewable energy – not fossil gas. Coal regions need future-proof investments in the new economy, not further entrenchment in fossil-fuel dependency.” — Elif Gündüzyeli, Senior Coal Policy Coordinator, CAN Europe

🌞 Another green energy project financed by the users of EKOenergy-labelled energy: Bringing Solar to the Pandu Gupha Health Post in Jumla, Nepal.

The Pandu Gupha Health Post (PGHP) is a health clinic and birthing center located in the village of Pandu Gupha in Nepal that serves approximately 2,000 households and an estimated 10,000 residents from surrounding communities. While the PGHP is equipped with a full staff and a host of medical electrical devices and diagnostic equipment, it currently lacks a reliable source of electricity to power the facility.

In 2020, GRID Alternatives plans to install a battery-powered, off-grid solar 5.9 kW system at the PGHP, giving the facility the ability to generate its own electricity for years to come. With access to clean, reliable electricity, the staff at PGHP will be able to power quality lighting and fully utilise their medical and diagnostic equipment, vaccine refrigeration, and warming beds for newborn babies. This will provide thousands of residents with 24-hour quality medical services for common diseases, physical injuries, and maternal and child healthcare.

🎯 Over 150 European organisations including Microsoft, IKEA, Unilever, Google, EDF and Apple are calling on EU leaders to back the European Green Deal target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. This initiative is led by the European Corporate Leaders Group ; a cross-sectoral group of European businesses working towards climate neutrality. In an open letter, CEOs from across Europe have shown their determination to work with the EU to tackle the Coronavirus pandemic while delivering a more climate-resilient and regenerative recovery.

🌲This is how Britain's favourite naturalist, Sir David Attenborough, starts his one-hour film “Extinction: The Facts”. Not only does it contain the stunning footage of animals and plants you would expect from an Attenborough production, but also horrific scenes of destruction.

There are plenty of fear-inducing shots, such as monkeys leaping from trees into a river to escape a huge fire, which illustrate how real this crisis is. However, the film does not leave the audience with the feeling that all is lost. Sir David's message is clear, there is still hope.

Have you already watched this film? Let us know in the comments!

📢 "Governments should stop spending billions of dollars on weapons and protect citizens from the real threats they face, such as #climatechange, #biodiversityloss and diseases".

Have you ever thought about how much governments around the world spend on weapons? According to some reports, the total amount invested in the military worldwide reached US$1.9 trillion in 2019. At the same time, we are witnessing a lack of funding for biodiversity protection, recycling technologies, climate change mitigation in general and more importantly, aid for those who have been directly impacted by climate change. However, climate change is not a myth and it does not respect borders. If we continue prioritising the wrong things, we will end up with a catastrophe that threatens humanity itself.

We can help our governments set the right priorities by making our voices heard. Besides adopting a sustainable lifestyle, start being politically active: participate in strikes, protests and elections. Talk about climate change and educate others. Fighting global warming should be our main priority. What do you think?

🏠 If you own a house, heat pumps are the best solution for you to save energy and your money. The mechanism is simple: heat pumps enable you to reuse heat which is present in the air and ground by extracting it from one place and moving it to another.

🇪🇺 This week we are celebrating 8 years of volunteering in EKOenergy! Since September 2012 we have hosted over 50 volunteers within the European Solidarity Corps and the former European Voluntary Service programs. These are European Union initiatives which create opportunities for young people to volunteer or work on projects in their own country or abroad that benefit communities and people around Europe.

EKOenergy's international volunteers work on the topics of sustainable energy and climate action, by promoting our ecolabel around the world, translating our website and other documents, and getting involved in countless projects to speed up the energy transition.

Up until now we have had volunteers from many different countries, including France, Germany, UK, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Italy and even Tunisia! We would like to take this opportunity to thank them all for their great work! #togetherweareunstoppable

🇳🇱 According to the report prepared by Oil C

🇳🇱 According to the report prepared by Oil Change International and Friends of the Earth Netherlands, the Dutch government continues to invest in fossil fuels even though it recently claimed that no fossil fuel subsidies exist in the Netherlands. This report also says that the Netherlands can reduce its carbon emissions by 7.7% by 2025 if its government stops subsidising fossil fuels. Moreover, these funds could be invested in Covid-19 recovery plans. Check the full document on priceforoil.com

😷 COVID-19 has had a number of unexpected impacts on the environment. Experts have warned that single-use personal protective equipment such as masks, gloves, hand sanitiser bottles and other coronavirus-related waste, is significantly adding to the already serious plastic pollution crisis. Studies have shown that almost 200 billion disposable masks and gloves are being used worldwide every month. According to Waste Free Oceans, disposable plastic masks that end up at sea could take up to 450 years to fully decompose and leave the marine ecosystem.

One simple option to help minimise the amount of waste generated during this pandemic is to opt for reusable cloth face coverings whenever possible. You can buy multiple-layer cloth masks or make your own following the World Health Organisation's guidelines and recommendations.
