Another year, another record low of Antarctic sea ice extent. Loss of sea ice has feedback impacts on the climate and on our precious wildlife. Are we going to wait until it's all melted away before we act???

Our last extinction event wiped out around 90% of all species and left our planet near-lifeless for up to 5 million years. Magma cooked hydrocarbons, releasing carbon dioxide and methane. Temperatures soared to 8-10C. Is this how humanity will end? theguardian.com/commentisfre…

🌳 Healthy #soil is crucial to food security and nutrition. 🌿 95% of our food is directly or indirectly produced on our soils. Therefore, food availability relies on soils. 🌎
Healthy and good quality food can only be produced if our soils are healthy.💚
