Over 935,000 solar panels have been installed on IKEA stores and buildings. By 2025 it aims to use 100% renewable electricity for all of its stores. Why aren't all businesses doing this?
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Here in the UK we live in one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Nature is in crisis and urgent action must be taken to protect our environment, including butterflies, moths and their habitats. ⚠️🧵 (1/5)

Even a small reduction in mowing lawns - including public spaces like parks, road islands and roadverges - can boost wildlife & wildflowers, help pollinating insects, and save money, studies show. An easy way to give nature a chance 🐝

Here it is: humanity’s final look at @NASAWebb as it heads into deep space to answer our biggest questions. Alone in the vastness of space, Webb will soon begin an approximately two-week process to deploy its antennas, mirrors, and sunshield. #UnfoldTheUniverse

The universe is full of stars, but only one is close enough for us to touch its atmosphere! ☀️ Getting a closer look at our own star will help astronomers better understand billions of trillions of other stars. ✨
🔥 Hot off the press! 🔥
We’ve touched the Sun! 👉☀️ Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere, the corona. Flying so close is revealing new things about our star, like where features called switchbacks are born. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3oU7Vlj
