We are facing an unprecedented global climate emergency.
We must act now.
I believe individual actions are important (reduction of consumption and travel, local sourcing of products) but without a shift from corporations, banks and governments, it remains insignificant.
In 2019 I decided to take actions, and dedicate a significant amount of time and efforts to the environmental cause: I use technology to shed light on some issues, and I follow and assist different groups of activists in their direct actions.
Here’s an archive of different projects I’m working on:
The Hambach coal mine:
– A 12.000 forest being cut
– Churches and villages razed
– The largest machine on earth: the bagger 288
– 270.000 tons of CO2 per day
Autodesk support of coal mining:
– A ” success story ”
– Conversation with the CEO
– Policies violations and censorship
– Autodesk’s Greenwashing.
– Insights from a senior Autodesk employee (p18-19)
