This is HUGE news.

China has completed the ratification process for the Global Ocean Treaty, confirming it will be bound by the landmark ocean protection agreement when it officially enters into force on January 17, 2026.

I don't want self-driving cars.
I don't want humanoid robots.
I don’t want AI in every app I use.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want a habitable planet.

We need to burst the AI bubble.

The Aritifial Intelligence boom has caused as much CO2 emissions in 2025 as New York City.

A new report shows that the AI-related water use now exceeds the entirety of global bottled-water demand.

Billionaires reap the profit and corporations benefit but our society is left to pay cost.

Let’s say NO to new AI datacenters, block gen AI and push for AI-free apps.

A groundbreaking new Greenpeace report shows how Russia’s descent into an entrenched war economy with a troika of fossil fuel extractivism, authoritarianism and militarism marks the collapse of the Russian environment, biodiversity, society and international relations amid its ongoing criminal war in Ukraine.

An international coalition for phasing out fossil fuels says it told the NZ govt after the election it would have to quit the group if it re-started oil & gas exploration, contradicting what Climate Change Minister Simon Watts previously told media.

Greenpeace will head out next week to document the damage and survey the life on seamounts there in the Lorde Howe Rise area.

Did you know that once we ditch fossil fuels, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall by 40% because that’s how many are just carrying coal, oil and gas?
