The civil engineer who stopped a port from being built in Tenerife.

Spaniard Carlos Mallo received the Goldman Prize this week, considered the Nobel Prize of environmentalism: ‘Tourism is the main factor damaging the islands’

The award comes at a turbulent time in the Canary Islands. A year ago, thousands of people took to the streets to protest the effects of mass tourism.

Santa Cruz dotará de wifi a museos, bibliotecas y oficinas municipales:

"Las dependencias municipales del Ayuntamiento de Santa Cruz de #Tenerife, como bibliotecas, museos y oficinas de atención al público, tendrán, por fin, wifi..."

Un poco anacrónico que no haya wifi en bibliotecas... Me recuerda a esta estadística del INE sobre #bibliotecas públicas que cobran por usar Internet (último dato de 2018): eran 34 las que cobraban por usarlo (ine.es/jaxi/Datos.htm?tpx=33033)

On approach to TFS, I saw a big solar power plant and many wind power plants next to the desalting factory.

Don't think these were here last time I was. If so, that's a very nice development.

In any case, it makes total sense to harness wind and sun for something so energy intensive and time insensitive.
