Hi Greensters

💦 Copenhagen’s got a plan. After a couple of devastating floods in the past, the city is now leading Europe with climate-smart designs that soak up stormwater instead of letting it drown the streets.

📉 But here’s the kicker: A major new study says keeping global warming under 3°C might mean sacrificing economic growth as we know it. The era of infinite GDP growth? It could be over.

🥔 And on your plate? A crispy potato and cucumber salad with a creamy herb twist - fresh, light, and easy to love.

Enjoy

🥔 Potatoes are humble heroes - local, hearty, and low in emissions. Paired with fresh cucumber and a creamy herby quark dressing, this salad is built on ingredients with a small footprint and big flavor. No exotic imports, no meat, no waste - just a delicious seasonal combo that keeps things cool.

Awareness: 🧱 Concrete cities can’t cope with extreme weather - heatwaves get hotter, floods hit harder.

Action: 🌿 Bring a little sponge city home. Try replacing paved spots in your yard or balcony with rain-friendly surfaces like gravel, native plants, or even a mini rain garden. They help absorb stormwater and fight back against local flooding.
