The Urgenda Case, Netherlands: A Case Study
Have you ever thought of suing your government — simply because it wasn’t doing enough? Sounds a bit preposterous, doesn’t it?

Analyzing through Folklore: The Ecological Impact of the Dewi Sri Myth
When we talk about saving the planet, we usually talk about the future. We talk about switching to electric cars, inventing new biodegradable plastics, and building massive solar farms. We tend to view “sustainability” as a modern invention, a brand-new concept we are scrambling to figure out before time runs out. But what if the blueprint for a greener world isn’t actually in the future but is hidden in the stories of the past? It is widely believed in Indonesia that rice fi

Half a Degree Worth of Change: Revisiting the 1.5°C Target at COP31
Ever sat in a room that already feels comfortable and nudged the heater up by just half a degree? You probably didn’t notice much of a difference — maybe just a faint sense that the air felt slightly warmer. But when it comes to Earth, that same small increase doesn’t go unnoticed. If the planet’s natural “heater” turns up by even half a degree, the effects don’t stay subtle — they ripple through weather, land, oceans, and everyday life around the world. Preventing the turnin

The Climate is Reel: Films that Change How We See Our Home
Cinema is an art that speaks on screen with stunning visuals and strong messages, sometimes hidden but louder than you might imagine. Cinema plays an important role in shaping perspectives by using the big screen to talk about politics, biographies, history, and sometimes climate change. While climate change has threatened us since the late 1800s, people only started talking about it widely in the 21st century through documentaries, short films, and movies. Documentaries like

Invisible Emissions: Designing or Damaging the World’s Interface?
We have all heard about emissions from flights, trains, gyms, and factories — but have you ever wondered if there are emissions not visible to the naked eye? Emissions that don’t rise from airplane engines, leaving a trail in the sky for us to notice, but exist quietly in the background of our everyday lives. These are what we call invisible emissions — the carbon emissions generated by our digital world. Every website we visit, every image we upload, and every graphic we des

Gene Editing for Wildlife Conservation?
Image Source: BBC The debate over whether scientists should manipulate the genes of wild animals and plants has long been heavily confined as a potential future, but recently, it took center stage at a meeting of top global conservation groups. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) , the world’s largest network of environmental groups, has voted to approve the further exploration of genetic engineering tools to aid in the preservation of animal species an

Starving the Wild: How Disease and Deforestation Pushed Tigers to Our Doorsteps
Image Source: Smithsonian Magazine For a long time, the Amur tiger was rare in the far east of Russia. It was almost invisible as it hid deep in the forest. But recently, that has changed. Tigers have begun appearing closer to villages, and the reason behind it is not aggression. It is hunger. Over the past few years, villagers started noticing tigers at night. At first, they took dogs from the edges of towns. Then they attacked livestock like horses and cattle. Eventually, p

Tackling Textile Mountains: A Collab with Mountain Climbers
We’re teaming up with Mountain Climbers to make sure clothes don't go to waste. This collaboration focuses on reducing textile waste, redistributing clothing to people in genuine need—through transparent, direct connections. Our partner, Mountain Climbers, is a youth-led climate action organization that focuses on the behind-the-scenes—collecting, sorting, and redistributing donated clothing so it actually goes to people who need it instead of landfills.

In a World of Ride-or-Die Polluters... Can Carbon Permits Be a Solution?
Imagine a world where every factory receives a certain number of amusement park tickets. Like five-year-olds at Disneyland, they all want infinite rides—but there are only so many rides and tickets to go around. Do they rush from ride to ride, or take a break for corndogs instead? Source Tickets & Invisible Tails These are essentially choices factories and other polluting firms are forced to make. But instead of amusement ride maniacs, they're hooked on polluting. Pollution—w

Our Eco-Friendly Christmas
It’s festival season again. Our homes are telling us we need to get dressed up, lady! But as we begin our preparations, shouldn’t we look back at our old bins or explore some DIY channels before we rebuy those fancy lights this year? Indeed, their cuteness is undeniable. Don’t lie to me that you’ve never bought those charming cookie boxes that we can bake too but decided to buy because they are adorable. We all have been there, including me. It’s effortless to get caught up w
