Τα παιδιά του προνηπίου Βερόνικα και του νηπιαγωγείου Κρικ της Dorothy Snot στη Νέα Σμύρνη αφού εξερεύνησαν τη γειτονιά τους αναζητώντας  τους κάδους ανακύκλωσης μίλησαν μεταξύ τους στο μικρόφωνο του σχολείου μας και την επόμενη μέρα τα επισκέφθηκαν η Αντιδήμαρχος Περιβάλλοντος του Δήμου Νέας Σμύρνης κ. Ελεονόρα Γαλανοπούλου και ο Αντιδήμαρχος Πρασίνου & Νεολαίας, κ. Κωστής Αναγνωστόπουλος. Τα παιδιά άνοιξαν έναν ουσιαστικό διάλογο για την καθημερινότητά τους στη γειτονιά, τις προκλήσεις του περιβάλλοντος αλλά και για τις λύσεις που μπορούμε να εφαρμόσουμε. Οι εκπρόσωποι του Δήμου Νέας Σμύρνης αφού απάντησαν στις ερωτήσεις των παιδιών άφησαν οικιακούς καφέ κάδους στα παιδιά ώστε βιωματικά να μάθουν να διαχειρίζονται τα βιοδιασπώμενα απορρίμματα!

Rainforest Reign

A season-long special of the podcast interviewing #ClimateAmbassadors up and down the country! Why did they become Ambassadors? How can they help communities and education settings to take climate action?

A special 'side-step' episode as Kit Marie welcomes back previous #CoffeeGeogPod guest and Espresso co-host Alistair Hamill, discussing his innovative and inspiring approach to teaching climate change through a citizen science GIS project, linked to Northern Ireland's Shared Education programme.

WATCH this discussion over on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Z9RuM_AVmhU

Alistair and Kit Marie talk about the importance of teaching climate change as a safeguarding issue and how Alistair devised a GIS project for pupils in the Craigavon area to collect and display data on the quality of trees. This project connects students with the local council, giving them a voice in local decisions and fostering a sense of agency and hope. This is not a discussion to be missed!

Coffee & Geography 5x10 SharedEd Sustainable Futures & Climate Citizen Science with Alistair Hamill

Afternoon,

This chat, I accidentally made it go walk about when I's cleaning up some of my online chats recently so I'm re-uploading it. Life, I'll get over it. Our earth problems, a "mass extinction level event" scenario playing out on earth is a very serious scenario in any century!

Regards Dion,

Peace to you and all "including all future loved ones as yet to come 👉🌍✌️👈

A I's Just By Passing Through What's On My Mind Sort Of Chat

Evening my fellow consumers,

We getting anywhere re the divvy up earth for little more than short-term profit margins based outcomes approach? Our "bigger pictures" as a "global community" or should I say species (subspecies mammal), to ask me we need to step back and reassess the lot! This finite in nature planet that we reside on, to ask me its worth more than the sum total worth of our as in wee made it up growth based capitalism economic system!

Regards Dion,

Peace to you and all "including all future loved ones as yet to come 👉🌍✌️👈

🇺🇸 Does America Have Just 1,251 Days Left? | Karel Cast Ep. 25-76

It’s been 209 days since Donald Trump returned to power — and with 1,251 days left in his term, America faces a crisis like never before. From LGBTQ+ hatred and xenophobic travel bans to attacks on reproductive rights and democracy itself, this presidency feels like an unrelenting nightmare. Can our nation survive the next 1,251 days?

In today’s Karel Cast, we break down the damage already done — and what’s at stake if we don’t stand up. From climate denial to defunding healthcare, the assault is daily. So we ask: Will America make it to the next election intact?

🇺🇸 Does America Have Just 1,251 Days Left? | Karel Cast Ep. 25-76

[Verse 1]
Ash in the sky, no birds in the trees
Silence has swallowed the once-living seas
I hum to myself in a broken-down dome
The echo reminds me: I’m utterly alone

The cities are bones, just steel and regret
A cradle of wonders the stars won’t forget
But no one is left now to marvel or mourn
I sing to the dust of a world we’ve outworn

[Chorus]
This is the last song on Earth
No encore, no crowd, no rebirth
Just a whisper through time,
On a breathless wind’s climb
A requiem sung for what life was worth

[Verse 2]
They warned us in data, in ice cores and flame
We laughed at the science, we played our old games
Forever chemicals slept in our blood
’Til wombs went silent and rivers ran mud

Maybe it started with heat we ignored
Or drones in the sky, or the AI we adored
Some say a virus with teeth in the air
Others blame stars or the gods unaware

[Chorus]
This is the last song on Earth
No more love, no more birth
Just me and this sound,
As the world spins unbound
And the heavens forget what we were worth

[Bridge]
We could’ve changed, turned the tide
Listened to reason, swallowed our pride
We paved over Eden, lit fires for fun
And argued on screens ‘til the daylight was done

We built machines that outgrew the dream
Taught them to think, but not how to feel
Or maybe it’s simpler—a species too late
Too stubborn to bend, too in love with our fate

[Verse 3]
I found this guitar in a rust-covered case
A relic of joy in a godless place
I strum for the ghosts, for the child never born
For forests that died and oceans still mourn

[Final Chorus]
This is the last song on Earth
Sung in the ruins of worth
But if some ear should hear,
From a planet or sphere—
Let this be a lesson, not just a dirge

[Outro – Spoken or Whispered]
We had poetry, music, love and the sun
We had every reason to thrive, every one
And we squandered it all for convenience and pride
Now I sing the last note… for the species that died.
