Weekend Movie Recommendation: The Day After Tomorrow - Fossil fuels contribute to global warming. Global warming melts polar ice caps. The fresh water from that massive thaw “desalinizes” the North Atlantic current, which in turn wreaks havoc on weather patterns, creates catastrophic storms and paves the way for a new ice age that should wipe out the earth’s population in just a few weeks. While this is happening people facing death are challenged to decide what matters most in their lives. Enjoy!  #beatpollution #climatechange #protectwhatyoulove #ourchildrensearth

A bit of good news for Florida water and wildlife: the St. Pete City Council unanimously approved a settlement that lays out steps to repair and upgrade the city's aging sewage system, as well as details for more water testing and public notifications of pollution problems. Our Children's Earth and our co-plaintiffs, Suncoast Waterkeeper and Ecological Rights Foundation, filed suit in 2016 after the city discharged 200 million gallons of raw sewage and "partially-treated" sewage into Tampa Bay area waters. This settlement is a win/win for the environment, the community, and governmental transparency. #florida #protectwhatyoulove #beatpollution #ourchildrensearth
At least 86 people sought treatment in area hospitals and clinics between July 24 and Aug. 6, after coming into contact with water contaminated with the algae, TC Palm reports. After just two weeks of testing, Dr. Michael Romano, Martin Health System's head of infectious diseases and control, told the newspaper. "the algae blooms are a health hazard, and people are getting sick because of that hazard." #stateofemergency #florida #toxicwater #ourchildrensearth
Weekend Movie Recommendation: Fed Up is a documentary that focuses on the harm sugar is doing to our body, our country and the world. Obesity-related illnesses caused by sugar are found to be more deadly than smoking, drinking, or even poverty. Sugar industries have successfully co-opted or bribed politicians of both parties into weakening or misdirecting efforts to help Americans be healthier, making sure that high-calorie, high-sugar processed foods are never blamed. Fed Up is a movie you should make sure all friends and family see. #fedup #bigsugar #obesity #corporategreed #movieoftheweek #ourchildrensearth
Repost from @jon_rose | "The problem isn’t with them, it’s with us... it’s our job to lead by example... to pass along all the knowledge and wisdom that was passed to us, by our elders. And if for some reason it was never passed along to you, then start learning now, and then start passing. This process is as old as they come — a form of initiation. It’s actually a duty we inherit the day we are born. It is essential to our survival and overall well being as the humans that get to share this amazing planet. So let’s go, people! Let’s put intention behind passing at least one piece of wisdom we know, along to someone younger than us, everyday... and see what happens." #wisdomisnotlost #ourchildrensearth
Algae in the water at the St. Lucie Lock is 15 times more toxic than what’s considered safe, according to test results from the Florida Department of Health. Jason Myer and his wife reside just a few blocks from the Lock with their four children. Thousands of families in Florida just like Jason's have been impacted by the states water crisis. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) warned residents that water contaminated with toxic blue-green algae can cause nausea, vomiting and, in severe cases, acute liver failure. Direct contact with algae can also result in a rash, the Centers for Disease Control reported. Some research indicates a connection between long-term inhalation of toxic algae fumes and neurological disorders like Parkinson’s and Lou Gehrig’s diseases.

Weekend Movie Recommendation: DamNation - Another excellent recommendation from one of our members this week! "The information about our nation's abundance of dams, and the negative environmental impact they have had on the landscape and the indigenous wildlife was shocking to hear and see. Perhaps in the world of environmentalists this is common knowledge, but for a person not entrenched in the cause, like me, it was a compelling argument to learn more about the subject and to get more involved. The cinematography is a highlight of the film, and the information is delivered in a manner that kept me interested the entire time. This is definitely a film worth checking out." #damnation #netflix #protectwhatyoulove #ourchildrensearth
Many concerned citizens attended a public meeting for clean water yesterday in Cape Coral, Florida. The room filled up an hour before the meeting began leaving hundreds outside to witness a dead #manatee floating lifeless in the water. 📷 @ivy_yin_ #concernedcitizens #florida #toxicwater #protectwhatyoulove #ourchildrensearth
