Ready to embark on reduced-carbon trip from Germany to Papua New Guinea for research.I'll travel 2/3 of the 22,500km distance by rail,coach,& ferry over~224hours,reducing CO2 emissions by 2,4tons of CO2. Return is planned #NoFly. #slowtravel #ClimateCrisis. 1/🧵 
I plan to travel #NoFly in the return trip, catching ferries or cargo ships between PNG and Indonesia (where ferry operator @pelni162_ID travels regularly). Please let me know of any tips you may have. @EcoClipper 2/
Travelling no-fly from Papua New Guinea to Germany will bring emissions down to ~0,42tonnes of CO2 for an estimated 512 hours of travel. That's 9% of the emissions that an airplane produces. 3/
It’s day two of our New Year's sustainability pledge and our three most important travel words today are ‘Local, Local, Local’. 👌🏼
We’ve been inspired by @natgeo including #Karpathos and the Dodecanese Islands as one of the Top 5 spots for Slow Travel in 2023.

[2/5] “Now less trafficked islands in the archipelago - like Karpathos, halfway between Crete and Rhodes - must balance the economic need for tourism with the environmental stresses it causes.
[3/5] In this arid, hilly land of milk and honey, many families keep bees and make their own butter and cheese... An important aspect of sustainable tourism... is to involve as many locals as possible,
On our way to Duinrell (near The Hague) for family holidays.
Taking the train to Essen, the northernmost station in Belgium, then it’s a 105km bike ride.
First stop, Willemstad, 32km away. Then Rotterdam tomorrow where @leen_schelfhout and her boys will join us. #slowtravel

After lunch, mandatory espresso stop for Daddy ☕️👌
🏖️🏄♀️🌴Sommer, Sonne, Urlaubszeit: Heute arbeite ich an einem Impuls für @S4F_Kassel zum Thema #NachhaltigReisen und dachte, ich lasse euch daran teilhaben. Ein🧵voller Ideen (plus ein paar persönlichen Erfahrungen und vielen hübschen Bildern)📸 (1/n)
(2/n) Was bedeutet es eigentlich, "nachhaltig" zu reisen? Für mich fällt darunter weit mehr, als nur klimaneutral von A nach B zu kommen. Wem schade oder nutze ich ggf. mit meiner Reise? Wovon profitiere ich - und kann ich u.U. was zurückgeben?
(3/n) Reisen zu können, ist ein unglaubliches Privileg (und Fernreisen sowieso). Wusstet ihr z.B. dass ihr mit einem dt. Reisepass visumsfrei in 190 Länder reisen könnt? Das ist Platz 3 auf der Weltrangliste atlasandboots.com/travel-blog/mo…
Last week I made an unforgettable journey 🚞🏔️
Traveling back from work meetings in Italy 🇮🇹, I decided to go back to Brussels 🇧🇪 the slow way. And that obviously means up the #BerninaBahn

Trip starts in Tirano 🇮🇹
Early start to catch the first train of the day, the 7:41 R train to St Moritz 🇨🇭
This early departure will allow me to arrive to Brussels 🇧🇪 on the same day.
The sun is just rising and I see no clouds around. It's time for #FensterAuf and 📸

Across the square and up we go!
We start "low" at 429 meters above sea level. In roughly 1½ hours, we will be up at 2253 meters above sea level.
The Bernina is the only alpine railway crossing that literally goes up to the top of the mountain pass, instead of using long tunnels

Even though I haven't been a big fan of Twitter threads so far, a lot of people I know have made 100-tweet threads for @threadapalooza so I thought I'll give it a try as well. I will start with #APIs and hopefully end up connecting them with the #FutureOfWork. Let's go ...

First of all, when I talk about #APIs, I mean HTTP-based interfaces connecting apps and backend servers as well as different services with each other. For now, the technical details, such as whether they use REST, GraphQL, gRPC etc., shall not matter. (1/100)
When humans interact with computers they require a user interface (UI), and when machines interact with each other they need application programming interfaces (APIs). At the end of the day, however, these have to be implemented by humans. Good #APIDesign considers both. (2/100)
