Adidas stoppt den Kauf von Kängurufell und schützt damit viele Kängurus vor der Tötung. Ein wichtiger Schritt gegen die Tierquälerei in Australien. #aigenerated ift.tt/ZmeMqa9

InstagramAnimals Australia on Instagram: "BREAKING: Global sports giant @adidas will no longer support the commercial kangaroo killing industry. ADIDAS have indicated they have now exited the commercial kangaroo killing trade and it will not resume purchasing kangaroo skin —a move that will spare many thousands of gentle kangaroos and their joeys from being shot or clubbed to death each year. To each one of our 68,000 supporters who took the time to appeal to adidas through our online action over the last two years- thank you. This would not have happened without you. This significant news marks a critical shift in corporate support for the cruel wildlife trade from Australia, and follows similar announcements from Nike, Puma and New Balance in recent years. But while the Australian government continues to allow this unethical and unsustainable wildlife trade to continue, so too will our efforts to protect kangaroos. On behalf of kangaroos and their joeys, thank you to every one of you who sent an email, shared a social media post, and protested outside a store here in Australia or around the world. The world is changing because caring, dedicated people like you refuse to give up on creating a kinder world for animals. 🧡🦘"1,380 likes, 65 comments - animalsaustralia on May 16, 2025: "BREAKING: Global sports giant @adidas will no longer support the commercial kangaroo killing industry.

Ab 2026/27 ist privates Feuerwerk in den Niederlanden verboten. Professionelle Shows sollen Sicherheit und Umwelt schützen. In Deutschland gibt es ähnliche Diskussionen. #aigenerated ift.tt/61JvHBr

Instagramwatson on Instagram: "Ab dem Jahreswechsel 2026/27 ist privates Silvesterfeuerwerk in den Niederlanden vollständig verboten. Die Regierung reagiert damit auf die jährlich wiederkehrenden Probleme rund um den Jahreswechsel: zahlreiche Verletzungen, Angriffe auf Einsatzkräfte, hohe Feinstaubbelastung, Sachschäden und massiven Stress für Haus-, Nutz- und Wildtiere. Künftig sollen professionelle Feuerwerksshows unter strengen Sicherheitsauflagen das Jahresende markieren. Damit verfolgt die Regierung das Ziel, die Sicherheit zu erhöhen, die Umwelt zu schonen und Rücksicht auf Mensch und Tier zu nehmen. Auch in Deutschland wird die Diskussion um ein Verbot von privatem Feuerwerk immer lauter. Erst in diesem Jahr konnte die Petition “Bundesweites Böllerverbot, jetzt!” über 2 Millionen Unterschriften sammeln. Immer mehr Städte und Gemeinden verhängen lokale Böllerverbote, etwa in Innenstädten oder rund um Krankenhäuser. Die Bundesregierung setzt bislang jedoch auf freiwillige Einschränkungen und Aufklärung – ein landesweites Verbot ist aktuell nicht in Planung. #Niederlande #Silvester #Feuerwerk"22K likes, 599 comments - watson.de on May 10, 2025: "Ab dem Jahreswechsel 2026/27 ist privates Silvesterfeuerwerk in den Niederlanden vollständig verboten.

Bloomberg: AI is Draining Water from Areas that Need It Most . “Bloomberg News found that about two-thirds of new data centers built or in development since 2022 are in places already gripped by high levels of water stress.
