Acting towards a healthier Baltic Sea in everyday life can feel like a daunting task – but small efforts add up and individual actions can make a difference. You can start by choosing one or two of these to consider in your life - you might find yourself inspired to do even more!

Does the news reflect what we die from?

The image presents a comparison of the leading causes of death in the United States for 2023 and the media coverage these causes receive from three news outlets: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Fox News.

In the footer, it notes the data sources, indicating that the information is based on media mentions from Media Cloud (2025) and death data from the US CDC (2025) and the Global Terrorism Index, with a clarification that values are normalized to sum to 100%.

🧐One of Viktor Orbán's MPs and a Hungarian government commissioner just shared a bizarre AI-generated image suggesting it’s over for Ursula von der Leyen and that “the Patriots have arrived.”

A drunk trio of Orbán, Babiš, and Fico ring her doorbell—with Fico barely managing to stay on his feet.

Great article from @hannahritchie.bsky.social… and the EU ETS can fund action to reduce these non-CO2 climate impacts from aviation (and from shipping - where black carbon has a GWP of 900). It’s really good that this is getting more public attention

Eliminating contrails from flying could be incredibly cheap

Could we halve aviation's climate impact at a fraction of the cost of sustainable aviation fuels?

It may have escaped your attention, but the Belgian energy system has quietly passed an important test. During the weekend of 4-5 October 2025, our consumption was almost entirely covered by renewable energy. And yet the system ticked like a Swiss watch. /

"If there is a frontline in the current battle against demolition it is Brussels. Faced with huge amounts of redundant industrial, infrastructural and office space, the city is pioneering circular architecture."

Adapt or die: the architects pioneering a new wave of building reuse

Thanks to innovators and smart policy initiatives, demolition is becoming more unfashionable. But is the tide changing fast enough?
