This image is a bar chart titled "Perceptions of democracy," which shows the share of people who agree with four different statements about democracy across four countries: USA, France, Britain, and China. The horizontal axis lists the four statements: Democracy is important My country is democratic My government serves the people Everyone has equal rights before the law For each statement, there are four vertical bars, each representing a country, identified by colors in the legend at the top: Light Gray: USA Medium Gray: France Dark Gray: Britain Red: China The vertical axis ranges from 0% to 90%, indicating the percentage of people who agree with each statement. Here's a breakdown of the data presented for each statement: 1. Democracy is important: USA: Approximately 78% France: Approximately 82% Britain: Approximately 83% China: Approximately 92% (the highest among all countries for this statement) 2. My country is democratic: USA: Approximately 57% France: Approximately 46% Britain: Approximately 55% China: Approximately 79% 3. My government serves the people: USA: Approximately 43% France: Approximately 45% Britain: Approximately 40% China: Approximately 91% (the highest among all countries for this statement) 4. Everyone has equal rights before the law: USA: Approximately 51% France: Approximately 44% Britain: Approximately 60% China: Approximately 85%

The video depicts a poignant scene on a street where a person, dressed in a dark, soiled jacket and pants, is seated on the ground, facing away from the camera. Beside them is a large, transparent plastic bag and a small bowl, suggesting a situation of need. The person is seen reaching out towards the ground, possibly in search of something, while the background shows a closed shop with a metal shutter and a few pedestrians walking by, including one in a red shirt. The scene is set in a desolate urban environment, with the ground appearing dirty and the overall atmosphere somber. The video captures the essence of the person's plight, highlighting the stark contrast between their situation and the indifferent passersby.

Anti-Fascist Days of Action


Maja is on hunger strike!
Anti-fascist days of action
20-22 June 2025

Following an illegal extradition from Germany to Hungary and almost a year of cruel solitary confinement in Budapest, Maja, an anti-fascist from Jena, went on hunger strike on 5 June 2025. Maja is demanding to be transferred back to Germany.

The situation is acute. We must act now.

Every day of fasting increases the risk of damage to health. However, the German government and the German Foreign Office have not yet exerted any noticeable influence on the Hungarian government. It is therefore up to us to increase the pressure on them.

That is why we are calling for international days of action in solidarity with Maja on the weekend of 20 to 22 June. All over Germany and in other countries, rallies and actions should take place in front of German and Hungarian institutions and embassies and the seats of the responsible parties.

The action days take place 15 days after the start of the hunger strike. After two weeks of fasting, Maja will then already be in a critical phase. On 20 June 2025, the court in Budapest will also decide on their application to be transferred to house arrest.

Get active!

  • Form action committees in your cities now and prepare actions.
  • Activate your international contacts! We must build international pressure.
  • Go to the embassies and consulates of Hungary and Germany.
  • Organise demonstrations and creative actions in public spaces.
  • Send us your calls to solikomitee-maja@systemli.org by 17 June 2025 so that we can publish all actions together.
  • After your actions, publish reports, pictures and videos on Instagram in collaboration with our @free.maja account.

Free Maja goes Pride

We are also calling on people to take part in the CSD and Pride demonstrations before and after the days of action and to make Maja’s cause visible there. You can find templates to print flyers and a banner at: basc.news/aktionskit-unterstue….

Bring Maja back home! No extraditions to Hungary! Freedom for all antifas!

Interestingly, Switzerland is still the only country in the world that practices direct democracy.

I'd say this is evidence that when THE PEPOLE get to tell the government how to manage the country by voting on issues and not just electing politicians, the result is far better!

I never understood why anyone ever trusted politicians to do the right thing.

Strategic Advantages of Biochar in Carbon Removal Initiatives

As global decarbonization efforts intensify, engineered carbon removal pathways are being rigorously evaluated for permanence, scalability, and co-benefits. Among them, biochar—a solid carbonaceous material produced from biomass via thermal decomposition—offers a compelling profile for both environmental durability and economic feasibility. Integrating a pyrolysis plant into a carbon removal strategy facilitates the systematic conversion of organic residues into stable carbon sinks.

High Permanence with Quantifiable Sequestration


Biochar stores atmospheric carbon in a chemically recalcitrant form. Unlike soil organic matter or afforestation, which are prone to microbial decomposition, biochar persists in soil for centuries. Stable aromatic carbon structures resist degradation, with mean residence times often exceeding 500 years depending on feedstock and process parameters.

A properly managed biochar making machine can sequester 2.2–3.0 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per tonne of biochar produced. These values are independently verifiable under frameworks such as Puro.earth, Verra, and the European Biochar Certificate, providing clear MRV (monitoring, reporting, and verification) compliance for carbon credit issuance.

Compatibility with Agricultural and Forestry Residues


Unlike other carbon removal technologies that demand dedicated energy inputs or specialized environments, biochar production can be co-located with existing biomass supply chains. Forestry trimmings, agricultural husks, manure, and mill residues can be thermochemically stabilized on-site with minimal preprocessing.

A modular biochar reactor allows deployment near feedstock sources, reducing logistical emissions. Moreover, process energy can be recovered via syngas combustion, rendering the system energetically self-sufficient and enhancing lifecycle carbon negativity.

Synergistic Co-benefits in Land Use


Biochar’s agronomic properties amplify its value beyond carbon containment. Its porous structure improves soil aeration, water retention, and microbial habitat. Cation exchange capacity enhances nutrient retention, reducing fertilizer runoff and increasing crop resilience during drought cycles.

In degraded soils, particularly in tropical or semi-arid regions, biochar applications of 5–10 tonnes per hectare have demonstrated yield increases of 10–20%. This improves food security outcomes while generating measurable ecosystem service credits.

Thermochemical Efficiency and Emission Control


Modern pyrolysis systems utilize indirect heating with oxygen exclusion, operating between 450–600 °C. These conditions maximize biochar yield while minimizing the production of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Equipped with gas scrubbers and automated process control, a pyrolysis plant ensures clean operation and compliance with industrial emission standards.

Non-condensable gases and bio-oil fractions—byproducts of the pyrolysis reaction—can be reused as on-site fuel or refined into renewable chemicals, increasing project economics without compromising environmental integrity.

Pathway to Carbon Credit Monetization


Biochar carbon removal (BCR) is recognized by growing voluntary carbon markets. Recent transactions have priced high-quality BCR credits in the range of \$100–\$200 per tonne of CO₂e removed, surpassing many other removal approaches in both price and volume.

The pyrolysis plant’s operating data—mass balance, temperature profile, feedstock carbon content—feeds directly into LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) models and carbon accounting systems. When paired with geospatial tracking of biochar application zones, this creates an auditable chain of custody required for third-party certification.

Alignment with Global Policy and Net-Zero Targets


Biochar fits into national and corporate net-zero strategies by offering removals that are both additional and measurable. Countries such as the United States, Canada, and members of the EU are actively funding biochar R\&D and incentivizing deployment through soil health, waste valorization, and climate-smart agriculture programs.

A pyrolysis plant embedded within industrial or municipal systems can serve dual mandates: sustainable waste treatment and carbon drawdown. This dual utility enhances permitting ease and secures broader stakeholder alignment.

In a landscape where carbon integrity, cost-effectiveness, and scalability define viable removal strategies, biochar stands out. By leveraging a pyrolysis plant as the backbone of the operation, carbon removal projects can achieve high permanence, generate co-benefits, and deliver quantifiable results—positioning biochar as a foundational element in long-term climate mitigation portfolios.
