✝️ Christians around the world will celebrate Easter on Sunday. Last weekend, during a Palm Sunday Mass, Pope Leo XIV said that God doesn’t listen to the prayers of those who make war or cite God to justify their violence.
War & Conflict
Lewis Ronald for Playrise
A nonprofit invented modular playgrounds for kids in war zones — and refugee children helped design them
London-based photographer and tinkerer Alexander Meininger built his own sons an indoor treehouse, but it wasn’t until he saw children displaced by the war in Ukraine that he realized the importance of play.
Now, he just launched his nonprofit, Playrise, which makes modular, packable play equipment and furniture for children living in disaster zones and refugee camps.
He worked with an architecture studio to design the fully customizable and reconfigurable play structures, which are built from simple wood components and colorful accessories.
Even better:Meininger and his team spoke personally with Sudanese, Palestinian, and Eritrean child refugees to learn what children living in displacement actually wanted. Their feedback confirmed what the inventors knew to be true: Play is vital for child development.
Denmark generates a larger share of its electricity from wind than any other country
New data shows that wind power supplied almost 60 % of Denmark’s electricity in 2023, giving the country the highest share of wind‑generated electricity on a global scale. This reflects decades of investment in wind energy infrastructure and supportive policy, making renewables central to the nation’s power mix.
Wind contributes not only to electricity but also significantly to Denmark’s overall energy system. Combined with other renewables, wind helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and supports the nation’s climate goals, including a net‑zero target by 2045.
Industry data show Denmark’s wind capacity continues to grow, with turbines producing over 19 TWh and national targets aiming for even higher renewable shares in the future.
