She speaks, and the world listens. Greta Thunberg arrived on stage at a #climatestrike rally in Battery Park to cheers of “Greta! Greta!” More than 250,000 people in New York City joined millions of others striking worldwide. “It’s not just the young people’s house. We all live here. It affects all of us,” Thunberg said. “Why should we study for a future that is being taken away from us? That is being stolen for profit? Some people say we should study to become climate scientists or politicians, so that we can, in the future, solve the climate crisis. But by then, it will be too late. We need to do this now.” #climatestrike #fridaysforfuture #thisiszerohour #go #vegan #plantbased #climatejustice #ourchildrensearth
“We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.” - John F. Kennedy | Researchers have pointed out, it was in our oceans that life as we know it began some 3.4 billion years ago, well before life on land took shape a mere 400 million years ago. Water also accounts for 60 percent of the human body. In short, we are ocean. Let’s protect it 🌎 #citizens4cleanwater #beatpollution #protectwhatyoulove #ourchildrensearth

Repost from OCE Member @erinitout365 Forest bathing. Jumbo Tree Edition. These trees... Nothing else like them, quite literally. “If we want children to flourish, to become truly empowered, then let us allow them to love the earth before we ask them to save it. Perhaps this is what Thoreau had in mind when he said, “the more slowly trees grow at first, the sounder they are at the core, and I think the same is true of human beings.” -David Sobel #findyourselfoutside #ourchildrensearth
The Palm Beach Inlet today August 29, 2019 | Take beach closures seriously. In the coming days we will likely see high levels of Enterococci bacteria in the water. The presence of Enterococci bacteria is an indication of fecal pollution, which may come from storm water runoff and human sewage. Waters that test positive for enterococcus – a resilient bacteria that thrives in warm saltwater can cause rashes, headaches, fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, disease and infections that can lead to death for those with weak immune systems. #citizens4cleanwater #surfersagainstsewage #flsurf #beatpollution #protectwhatyoulove #ourchildrensearth
This @nasa image shows the #AmazonFires between 15-22 August in Latin America. Cities and towns are shown white. The terrible consequences suffered by local communities remind us: Protecting the world’s forests is our collective responsibility. Healthy forests are critical in the fight against #ClimateChange. As part of @earthalliance , @global_wildlife_conservation has launched the Amazon Forest Fund, which will support local organizations and indigenous communities that have a history of protecting the Amazon from those who would destroy it, including most pervasively the industrial agriculture, cattle ranchers and logging companies. Join Us. 100% of your donation will go to partners who are working on the ground to protect the Amazon. @earthalliance is committed to helping protect the natural world. We are deeply concerned about the ongoing crisis in the Amazon, which highlights the delicate balance of climate, biodiversity, and the wellbeing of indigenous peoples.

The news coming out of the Amazon rainforest this week has been devastating. The fires are largely the result of rampant deforestation, caused by cattle ranchers cutting down the forest and, in the dry season, burning it to create pasture for cattle, and at the same time burning the pasture created from deforestation in previous years so as to encourage new grass growth. Of course, this threatens indigenous communities, wildlife and wild lands our partners at @global_wildlife_conservation (GWC) are tirelessly working to protect. Global Wildlife Conservation is not standing idly by. Instead, they're doing what they do best - helping protect the planet when the stakes are high and they have an opportunity to make a difference. As part of @earthalliance , GWC has launched the Amazon Forest Fund, which will support local organizations and indigenous communities that have a history of protecting the Amazon from those who would destroy it. @LeonardoDiCaprio, Laurene Powell Jobs, and Brian Sheth have made a commitment of $5 million dollars to focus critical resources for indigenous communities and other local partners working to protect the life-sustaining biodiversity of the Amazon against the surge of fires currently burning across the region. 🌎 JOIN US 🌎 100% of your donation will go to partners who are working on the ground to protect the Amazon. @earthalliance is committed to helping protect the natural world.
