🚰Disposable water bottles are ruining the envir

🚰Disposable water bottles are ruining the environment all over the world. Every minute, one million plastic bottles are bought worldwide and the number is likely to jump another 20% by 2021.

Remember to bring your own water bottle when you go to work or to the gym. If one person switches to a reusable bottle, 217 plastic water bottles will be saved from ending up in a landfill. However, don't forget to wash your own water bottle daily as it can contain germs.

If you do have to use a disposable water bottle, then remember to recycle it at a local recycling point so that the plastic can be used again. Alternatively, you can give it another purpose yourself! Disposable water bottles can be reused as bird feeders, sprinklers and in countless other useful ways.

💧 Thanks to our Climate Fund, users of EKOenergy-labelled energy financed the installation of 10 solar-powered drip irrigation systems in Myanmar's dry zone. The project was co-financed by the @siemenpuu Foundation and has been implemented by REAM, the Renewable Energy Association of Myanmar.

REAM also established a fund, into which the beneficiaries are paying regular contributions and which are used to finance more installations in other villages. The project is expected to have a long-term positive impact on the protection of aquifers in the area too.

🔥 The remote wetlands of west-central Brazil have been burning since mid-July! This enormous fire is one of thousands sweeping accross the Brazilian Pantanal - the world's largest wetland - this year. Climate scientists fear this could become a new normal, echoing the rise of climate-driven fires from California to Australia.

The Pantanal is home to roughly 1,200 species of vertebrate, including 36 that are threatened with extinction. Across this usually lush Brazilian landscape, 150,000sq km (57,915sq miles) wide, rare birds fly and the world's densest population of jaguars roams.

📣 Today is the Global Day of Climate Action! During the last few months, the Covid-19 pandemic has forced activists to find new ways of protesting for climate action. Since marches are not appropriate at this time, online activism has gradually developed.

This Friday @ekoenergy united ESC volunteers from around the world to fight together for the future of our planet! Thanks @geaireland @jsbambuss @esc_volunteers @afsiceland @alfaalbona and @volunteers_eastfinland for joining #ESCforClimateAction from Ireland, Latvia, Poland, Iceland, Croatia and Finland!

🛍️ Rapidly increasing production of disposabl

🛍️ Rapidly increasing production of disposable plastic products overwhelms the world’s ability to deal with them. As a result, plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental issues today. Indeed, every year about 8 million tons of plastic waste ends up in the oceans, which is equivalent to placing five garbage bags full of trash onto every foot of coastline around the world.

There are many ways to reduce the amount of plastic waste you generate, but one of the simplest first steps is to stop using single-use shopping bags. Remember to bring your own reusable bags when you do your groceries and avoid buying products with unnecessary plastic wrapping.

Do you bring your own reusable bags to the supermarket? Even the smaller ones for veggies and fruit? Comment below! 👇

🇪🇺 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?
