#BookReview - In 'Ancient Futures', Norberg-Hodge vividly contrasts Ladakh’s sustainable, largely egalitarian culture with the disruptive impacts of Western consumerism.
Ladakhis thrived in a harsh Himalayan environment through frugality, cooperation, & #ecological wisdom. The recent arrival of “development” brought pollution, inequality, & social discord.
This landmark #environmental book calls on us to learn from Ladakh’s traditions to create kinder, #sustainable futures.
#Trump’s #EPA rollbacks would weaken rules projected to save billions of dollars—& thousands of lives.
When the head of the EPA announced a wide-ranging rollback of #environmental #regulations, he said it would put a “dagger through the heart of #ClimateChange *religion*” [whatever that is] & introduce a “Golden Age”for the American economy.
What Lee Zeldin didn’t mention: how ending the rules could have devastating consequences to human #health.

Two months ago, Uganda #Eco Youths Network received our first box of seeds straight from California, USA thanks to Joseph Carter! 
The package included #seeds of coffee, trees, and pineapple, helping us take a big step toward our mission of promoting #permaculture, #sustainability, and #youth-led #environmental action in #Uganda. 
We’re excited to grow, learn, and share this journey with our community.

Extreme wind, coastal erosion and coastal flooding have been identified as the most 'significant' #environmental risks to Ireland over the next five years, according to a new report by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 
#Kentucky is welcoming a #DataCenter boom. But what are the #environmental costs?
by Connor Giffin
April 29, 2025
"Some of the biggest companies in the world are eyeing Kentucky and neighboring states for data center development, as surging interest in artificial intelligence pushes the industry to scour the country for energy, land and water.
"The projects carry a promise of historic investment. Experts say they could also deepen some of Kentucky’s foremost environmental challenges.
"Sprawling data centers have been announced in Jefferson County, across the river in Southern #Indiana, and most recently in Oldham County — where opponents fear a $6 billion proposed project could upend rural character, quality of life and water resources.
"Data centers are critical infrastructure for internet and cloud services, underpinning everything from emails to online shopping. Due to their vast scale of computational power, cooling systems and other operations, large data centers have an insatiable demand for energy.
"The major projects coming to the Louisville area will demand hundreds of megawatts — enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes. Data centers are expected to make up 7-12% of all U.S. electricity consumption by 2028, up from 2% about a decade ago.
"In Kentucky, a small portion of power generation comes from renewable sources, like solar power. Most comes from coal, widely considered the most polluting form of energy, or gas, which also brings emissions with planet-warming consequences.
"With a looming spike in power demand and pressure to meet that demand, advocates fear utilities could turn to highly polluting fuels. But some hope the demand could also push utilities to diversify with more renewables, as data center operators call for as much power as possible, as soon as possible.
"The industry has tried to assuage fears of environmental harm. Some data center operators have indicated plans to use renewable energy or take steps in development to protect waterways and preserve green space.
"State and local officials are welcoming data centers with open arms. The Kentucky General Assembly this year expanded sales and use tax exemptions for 'qualified data center projects' in a bill lobbied by #Google and #Meta."

We believe in changing the world by fighting #hidden hunger, promoting #environmental awareness, and leading sustainable projects especially in schools and communities. Through #education, action, and innovation, we aim to build a generation that cares for both people and the planet.
The proposed repeal is part of #Trump’s aggressive agenda to “drill, baby, drill,” which calls for increased #oil & #gas extraction on #PublicLands & the repeal of virtually all #climate & #environmental protections.
“We’re restoring the balance & putting our energy future back on track,” Burgum said in a stmnt.
