Real solutions to the climate crisis don't look like this. In the words of @kathykijiner, "Real, meaningful climate action is all about being inclusive, and it doesn't leave our most vulnerable community members behind."

Ecocide needs to become an international crime. To hold business leaders and people of significant public office to criminal account for not protecting people or mass damage or destruction of the ecosystem.

HUGE WIN! Thanks to tireless activism, the cruise industry will not be eligible for a gov't bailout under the stimulus bill!
This industry is dodging US taxes & spewing 95,000 liters of oily waste into our waters each day. They do not deserve our tax $$.

Day 70 of #SaveCongoRainforest! We often get asked about why we are campaigning for this. I often say that scientists have predicted that at current rates, the Congo Rainforest could be gone by the year 2100. That is scary!#SaveCongoForest_Flora_Fauna @vanessa_vash @Remy_Zahiga💚

The #CongoBasin undergoes excessive deforestation & the rights of the natives (pygmies) neglected We therefore pray the solidarity of international activists so that together we can say something: it's the 2nd largest forest in the world & crosses 6 African countries. We need you

Remember:
1. one of the top ice scientists in the world believes that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is beyond its tipping point and in the midst of an irreversible collapse.
2. satellite observations show Arctic ice decline is accelerating and will hit zero within 5 or 10 years.

Interesting to see who the real heroes are when crisis hits, they are not the money markets spivs on bloated incomes but the health workers, truckies, police, those who produce food and operate the food supply chain, the educators...these people deliver real value..thankyou.

This article was calming on my mind.
Our lives will be forever changed. It is foolish to dive into frenzy of activity or obsess about scholarly productivity right now. The emotionally & spiritually sane response is to prepare to be forever changed.
