📰 "Vienna is turning parking spaces into parks and it’s changing the city"

🗒 "The city has more than 350 projects underway to replace parking spots with green infrastructure and public areas. That includes a major street reimagined as a Dutch-style cycling corridor, where 140 parking spaces were swapped for nearly a mile of bike lanes and plants."

Dedi Supriadi swings his hoe into the soil at his aubergine and cucumber farm – land where he once dug for gold in the hamlet of #CitorekKidul in #Indonesia.

The mountainous region is scarred by illegal #GoldMining , where workers carve deep into hillsides and caves and risk their lives in the process.

Tempted by the traces of #gold left behind by a former state-run mine, Aneka Tambang #ANTAM , villagers have turned to small-scale #IllegalMining , driving #deforestation and using #toxic chemicals like #mercury and #cyanide that #pollute water and kill #wildlife.

Critics and $environmentalists have called for stricter measures to stop the practice and encourage a return to traditional and less destructive ways of life like #farming.

A police crackdown and signs of change, such as several #miners recently switching to farming, have raised hopes of a possible turning point in the effort.

Almost 200 people killed last year trying to defend the #environment, report finds
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/sep/09/almost-200-people-killed-last-year-trying-to-defend-the-environment-report-finds-aoe
"#Colombia, #Brazil, #Mexico and #Honduras were the most deadly countries for people trying to protect their lands and ecosystems, making up more than 70% of all recorded killings globally.
...Of those killed in 2023, 43% were from #Indigenous communities. Nearly 90% of those killed were men. Numbers from last year bring the total recorded killings to 2,106 since 2012, when Global Witness first started reporting on the data.
...Along with murders, the report said that disappearances and abductions of environmental defenders were common, as well as the wider #criminalisation of #activists around the world."

If you need some #climateoptimism today, NYC will soon implement a city-wide composting ordinance, meaning that hundreds of tons of food waste every year will be able to be composted and turned into valuable soil that can be used for farming! Absolutely incredible, since food that is left in landfills creates methane, a greenhouse gas. #econews #climatechange #globalwarming #climatepositive #uspol
