PFAS is everywhere, hopefully this wakes us up to implement ambitious regulation.

Kirjoitukseni Uusiouutisissa. Teot ratkaisevat, tarina kannattaa rakentaa niin, että saadaan mahdollisimman moni mukaan.

Ilmasto ei tunne ideologiaa – toimet ratkaisevat
Uusiouutisten bloggaaja Kalle Saarimaa kirjoittaa, että pelkästään jo taloussyistä kannattaisi panostaa uusiutuviin energiamuotoihin. Tärkeintä olisi jatkaa oikeiden toimien tekemistä riippumatta syis...

We should be much bolder setting tighter frame to markets in order to speed up move towards clean energy and circularity. Market will always find solutions (look what happened in Covid). Politicians should not be afraid of loosing competitiveness.

Kiertotaloudesta puhuttaessa usein unohtuu talous. Jostain syystä haluttaisiin, että "valtio hoitaa kierrätyksen". Tätä jos tarkastelee lähempää, niin kyseessä on lineaaritalouden ajattelumalli. Kiertotalous vaatii nimenomaan, että yritykset siirtyvät lineaaritaloudesta kiertotalouteen.

Ongelma on nimenomaan tuossa, että tarjooma ei kohtaa kysyntää. Ainakaan toistaiseksi kukaan ei ole pystynyt tarjoamaan minulle pakettia: paneelit, akut, optimointi ja auton akku osaksi kokonaisuutta.

Got a chance to visit Circular Coffee Break podcast. Good discussions on important topics.

We need to make circularity mainstream, that is the only way to a sustainable future

Hämmentävää, että hetkellinen merkityksetön sähkön hinnan nousu on vielä etusivun uutinen. Luulin että hesari lopetti nämä klikkiotsikot www.hs.fi/talous/art-2... @hs.fi

PFAS is a big problem also in US. We should act on that globally with the same determination than with freons back in time.

We focus a lot on the limits on waste waters, should we spend more time thinking why that stuff is in the water in the first place. #depollution

Good episode in Circular Coffee Break.

Only way out from current economic situation is going circular, not going back.

I will also be in the show in one of the August episodes!

Our politicians are failing us. Their focus is on short term benefits for the people and not ensuring well functioning society in long term.

With renewable energy, Europe can be competitive again!
In a first, solar was the biggest source of power in Europe last month.

Analysts say the abundance of solar power helped keep the grid stable during a powerful heat wave.

There has been discussions in EU to make centralized sorting plants for municipal solid waste mandatory. It seems we have still not internalized the concept of technology neutrality.

2/3 of european surface waters are polluted - an astonishing number.

We do not yet understand the severance of the chemicalization.

I think we should move fastly towards climate engineering - not because I think it is risk free, but seems like all other alternatives are worse or naive.
