🌱Es ist Freitag. Klimafreitag.

Einer der effizientesten Wege, wie du klimafreundlicher leben kannst, ist, dich pflanzenbasiert zu ernähren. Aber wie fängst du damit an?

Wie wäre es, wenn du dich einfach mal durch die vegane Küche durchprobierst? Wahrscheinlich stellst du fest, dass es deutlich leckerer und abwechslungsreicher schmeckt, als du es dir vorgestellt hast.

Den Start kannst du dir leicht machen, indem du einfach mal schaust, was es heute in deiner Mensa oder Kantine gibt. Vielleicht eine vegane Wurst zur Linsensuppe oder asiatisches Wokgemüse?

Die Chancen stehen gut, dass du direkt heute ein veganes Essen probieren kannst. Denn in immer mehr Mensen und Kantinen gibt es täglich vegane Optionen. Und die schmecken meist richtig gut! 😋 Manchmal sind sie sogar günstiger als mit Fleisch; gesund und klimafreundlich sowieso.

📍Du arbeitest im Homeoffice oder hast gar keine Kantine im Betrieb?
Dann schau dich mal um, welche Uni-Mensen oder öffentlichen Kantinen Gäste willkommen heißen – bestimmt gibt es auch welche in deiner Stadt.

👉 Mehr Ideen gibt es in unserem neuen Artikel: „Heute mal vegan essen in Mensa oder Kantine“: my-friday.org/klimaschritte/he…

Was hast du schon Veganes in der #Mensa oder #Kantine probiert? Und war es lecker oder ist noch Luft nach oben? Erzähl uns gerne davon!

As Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue his military assault in Gaza, anti-war sentiment is growing in Israel.

“Those who believe in war, they are naive, because they have been failing again and again and again,” says Israeli peace activist Maoz Inon, who has been advocating for a ceasefire and an end to Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories. His parents, Bilha and Yakovi, were among those killed on October 7.

More than 100 Palestinians have been killed or are missing after intense Israeli airstrikes targeted residential areas in northern Gaza, including Jabalia and Beit Lahia.

Entire families have been buried under rubble as civil defense teams work under extreme conditions with limited equipment.

In central Gaza, heavy bombardment continues. Residents report non-stop attacks, creating widespread panic and destruction.

The UK is in talks with other countries to set up overseas “return hubs” for asylum seekers who have exhausted the legal process, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said on his first official visit to Albania. Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer MP told the Huffington Post:

Mere months after rightly denouncing the last government’s failed Rwanda scheme as a gimmick and a waste of taxpayer money, Starmer is now looking for his own knock off version. Instead of wasting more taxpayer money trying to look tough, it’s time Starmer got a grip of the real driving force behind smuggling gangs: the fact that for most people who might need and be eligible to seek asylum in the UK, there is simply no safe and managed way to do so.

I start reading granny's diaries as a distraction and she's talking about how I'm so good (at age ~16) at drawing and selling my work. I got interviewed by the local paper.

Funny how I'm now sitting here, basically becoming more unable to sell my drawings than ever before and feel like such a failure - at least the mug fits

Shameful. They cannot even #boycott a stupid song contest to protect lives. I don't expect much from the so called 'people' anymore. Disgusting.

But let's party on, on 53,000+ dead bodies and feature extermination!
