❌ KICK BIG POLLUTERS OUT!
Week one of #COP30 is over! It was not only puppies & rainbows (🤮 1600 fossil fuel lobbies) but the ray of light was definitely the Peoples' Summit & the climate march, bringing tens of thousands of people to the streets demanding #ClimateJusticeNow & #JustTransitionNow 💫

Greta Thunberg, after five days in Israeli captivity, has spoken out about the abuse she endured. She described a pattern of deliberate humiliation and violence, where Israeli guards placed a flag beside her and beat her whenever it brushed against her skin.

🌿 How to build Spongy Green Cities?
1️⃣ Replace concrete with permeable greens.
2️⃣ Link parks, ponds & trees into urban eco-networks.
3️⃣ Restore wetlands & native plant zones.
4️⃣ Harvest every raindrop — recharge, don’t drain.
5️⃣ Design with nature, not against it.
💧 Let cities soak, breathe & thrive.

Why Spongy Cities?
1️⃣ To absorb floods, not suffer them.
2️⃣ To recharge groundwater & cool microclimates.
3️⃣ To turn rain into life — not runoff.
4️⃣ To make cities breathe, not choke.
5️⃣ To create natural immunity green spaces to save lives from pandemics.

EMERGENCY: ISRAEL ATTACKS GSF
Israel has attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters. People of conscience have been abducted.
The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and the Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.
