Free electricity in Australia, and the week's other eco wins

This article highlights several environmental successes around the world. In Germany, the Hambach forest, one of the last remaining pieces of ancient woodland, was preserved after a long campaign against coal mining expansion. Environmental activists occupied treehouses within the forest to prevent deforestation, leading to a legal victory. In Australia, despite reliance on fossil fuels, authorities are offering free electricity during daylight hours to reduce grid strain and promote renewable energy use. Meanwhile, Utrecht, a Dutch city, has significantly reduced car dependency by transforming infrastructure to prioritize cycling, surpassing Copenhagen in bike-friendliness rankings.
