The ozone hole: a story that inspires eco-action! - It pays to go green!

The ozone hole: a story that inspires eco-action!
Suppose you remember the 1980s, Madonna's hits, and new episodes of Dynasty. In that case, you also probably remember reports about the harmfulness of aerosols and refrigerants in fridges and freezers and discussions about the need to protect the ozone layer. Thanks to the global action taken at the time, the localised disappearance of the ozone layer, referred to as the ozone hole, has been halted, making it one of the greatest successes in the history of transnational cooperation on climate and environmental protection. We should keep this in mind as we are facing the next challenge right now!

Peatland protection is a dirty but necessary job! - It pays to go green!

Peatland protection is a dirty but necessary job!
All hands on deck! In the climate change mitigation efforts, every help will come in handy - from decision-makers and businesses to every one of us. Luckily, nature is our great ally in reducing the atmospheric carbon pool as it literally traps it ... in a marsh. Peatlands are, in fact, natural CO2e sinks. However, despite their powerful powers, they are sensitive ecosystems. Protecting peatlands should therefore be one of the priorities of pro-climate action across the globe. You can join the efforts with TerGo and UNEP/GRID-Warsaw Center.
