The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.

We all deserve to live in a world where everyone has access to clean running water and sanitation and our freshwater ecosystems are safeguarded for the future. Water is our most precious resource. It sustains life everywhere. And we all have a role to play in helping the UN achieve this goal by the year 2030. Water is the driving force of all nature. Every cell in our bodies relies on it to function as it should. Water is needed for all life on Earth, but while the surface of our planet is covered in 71% water, only a small percentage of it is safe to drink and it's unevenly distributed around the world. Demand for our water is increasing. Over the past century our global population has tripled, yet the total water supply available remains the same.

Today, over 1 billion people are unable to access clean drinking water. It affects all aspects of their lives. It forces women and children to make long treacherous journeys for a bucket of fresh water. It allows communicable diseases like cholera and typhoid to spread where there are inadequate sanitation facilities or none at all, placing huge strain on governments and NGOs that dedicate valuable resources to make clean water available to all. But progress is being made worldwide. Foreign aid donated by governments and humanitarian organizations like UNICEF have brought improved drinking water sources to 90% of the world's population and improved sanitation to two-thirds. Innovative products like the LifeStraw, a cigar-shaped filter that purifies contaminated water, are making it possible for the poorest to access clean drinking water and helping to eradicate guinea worm disease across the African and Asian continents, while a new invention created by the Bill Gates Foundation, the Janicki Omni processor, turns sewage into clean drinking water and renewable energy, neatly tackling sanitation, water and energy problems all at once. Simple solutions could save lives and help give everyone access to clean water and sanitation by the year 2030.

Cork City Libraries Sustainability Blog | Sow…Let’s Grow!

I was fortunate enough to attend a gardening course at the end of June, with the intention that it would contribute to my work with the Hollyhill Seed Library and this blog. Although the day itself was wet and miserable, and the arrival of the promised sandwiches never materialised, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and my head was spinning with the amount of information that was being imparted upon us. The lady who was running the course, Aoife Munn, was a fountain of knowledge and I would highly recommend checking out one of her talks if she ever pops up in your area.

She initially spoke about the importance of pollinator plants. In a study conducted by the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland it was found that our native plants have declined by 56% since the 1950s which is a terrifying statistic. Plants have evolved over millions of years to adapt to their surroundings, including their ability to attract pollinators specific to that area. Given that we have lost over half of our native plants it’s not a big jump to assume that our native bees and other pollinators must be really struggling in the changing landscape. Something we can do as gardeners to alleviate that struggle is to plant native pollinators. Sometimes you don’t even have to plant anything, if you just let a patch of land grow wild you will be amazed at what will grow there.

Plants such as dandelions, oxeye daisy, clover and knapweed will all appear in your garden given the space and the time. Foxglove, primrose, cornflowers, and marsh marigold are all native Irish plants and great pollinators too, so it’s a double win! A plant that she also suggested that I’d never considered before was the humble ivy. Ivy keeps its foliage all year round, it flowers when very little else does and its berries are a wonderful food for birds during the chilly winter months. Other fantastic pollinators include snowdrop, crocus, comfrey, wallflower, hellebores, and alliums.

Aoife also showed us how to make biodegradable pots for seedlings or for plants that need an extra bit of support indoors before they can be planted out. To make your own pot all you need is a couple of sheets of newspaper and a plastic bottle, a 250ml bottle is a perfect size. Fold the newspaper sheet in half horizontally, with the closed end towards you and the open end facing away. Put the plastic bottle at the start of the newspaper, making sure the open end is also facing the open end of the newspaper and roll the newspaper around the bottle. Stuff the paper into the opening of the bottle and then take the bottle out and put it back in, bottom end first so it can squash down the newspaper. This will degrade much faster than a toilet roll tube and repurposes items that would traditionally have ended up in the bin.

In other gardening news I ate my first radish this week and it was one that I had grown myself! I borrowed the seeds from the Hollyhill Seed Library, planted the seeds in the bottom of the pot that my peas were in and hey presto, a couple of weeks later I have lots of lovely crunchy little radishes. Another vegetable that is ready to eat is rainbow chard. Although not fully grown yet, the baby leaves are perfectly edible and pinching them out now gives the remaining leaves space to grow. Using my baby rainbow chard leaves and the radish I grew, I made a lovely peanut satay and it’s safe to say that nothing beats the taste of freshly grown veg!

Freiraumsicherung und -entwicklung ist damit ein brandaktuelles und grundlegendes Zukunftsthema. Es erfährt im Kontext des Nachhaltigkeitsparadigmas zwar große Resonanz in Wissenschaft, Planungspraxis und Politik. Trotzdem ist der Flächenverbrauch weiterhin hoch. Die Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) der Vereinten Nationen nennen insbesondere mit dem Ziel Nr. 15 die Notwendigkeit, terrestrische Ökosysteme zu schützen und nachhaltig zu nutzen, wiederherzustellen und zu fördern. Mit der EU-Biodiversitätsstrategie für 2030 wird unter anderem das Ziel verfolgt, innerhalb der EU 30 % der Land- und Meeresflächen für den Schutz der Biodiversität zu sichern. Die EU-Verordnung 2024/1991 über die Wiederherstellung der Natur enthält differenzierte quantitative Vorgaben für die ökologische Aufwertung von geschützten Lebensräumen.

We all deserve to live in a world where women and girls are respected as full members of society and treated equally to their male counterparts in terms of their rights, opportunities for employment and education, control over their own health, and ability to contribute to society. This simply isn't the case elsewhere in the world. To enable all women and girls to live their lives to the fullest, the United Nations has included gender equality as one of its 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which it hopes to accomplish by the year 2030. When girls have access to shelter, clean water, sanitation, education and safety, and are given the freedom to do simple things in life, like play with friends, read books and travel, they become empowered to think for themselves, act for themselves, and determine their own destinies. When this happens, girls are much more likely to attend school, become skilled, get jobs, have families, buy homes, fulfil their ambitions and make a positive impact on the world around them. Gender equality should be a fundamental right, but girls and women are not treated equally in countries all around the world for all sorts of reasons. Society plays a big part in how gender roles are assigned. The values, core beliefs, and inherited customs that govern how people behave can be discriminatory and limit how women live their lives. In some countries, laws prevent women from owning property or receiving an inheritance from a family member. In many cultures, child marriages are still acceptable, with some girls as young as 8 promised to men twice, three, or four times their age. This leaves the girl open to abuse, neglect and complications during childbirth. Even in places where men and women technically have equal rights, there still may be a gender gap in pay, leadership and representation in government. Great people continue to make progress worldwide: exposing systemic abuse toward women in the film and television industries with powerful social media campaigns, investing in female entrepreneurs to reduce the current funding gap between women and men, providing women and girls with equal access to education, healthcare and decent work. And the number of women leaders has doubled since 2000, so that their say in political and economic decision-making processes can fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large. We can all work together to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls worldwide by 2030.
