Over 1100 arrests to date - all to protect something that should never have been endangered.
Only a fraction of BC's iconic old growth forests remain yet more keep falling and they are remain unprotected. Enough is enough.

This lantern runs on sea water. Just two cups of sea water provides enough energy to power it for 45 days - an amazing breakthrough for remote communities.
We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

This Western Red Cedar is 182 ft tall. It's the largest known tree in Canada.
Only a fraction of British Columbia's iconic old growth forests remain, yet they're still being logged.
Protect the irreplaceable.

The $44 billion for @Twitter could have easily been used to provide food and clean water for the poor, housing for the homeless, shelter for refugees, medical care for the sick, and funds to eradicate serious illnesses. Mr. Musk would have been a hero, not just another capitalist

Perhaps the biggest failing of the media on climate is also the simplest.
Irreversible Earth breakdown is getting worse, and worse, and worse, every day the fossil fuel industry exists - but you'd never know this from most coverage

If Elon Musk really cared about our future, shouldn't he buy Exxon Mobil and shut them down for good?

The amount Elon Musk just paid for Twitter ($44 billion) is nearly equal to Biden’s proposed climate budget ($44.9 billion), in case anyone's wondering how seriously we’re taking the climate crisis

Iceland is using geothermal energy to power greenhouses and produce food all year round. How could your country green its food supply?

Sweden and Austria have stopped using coal to produce electricity. It can be done. Who's next?

No words. Absolutely no words. 12 nurses for 24 ICU patients. Only ONE break for 12hrs shift. One break! A colleague got so hypoglycemic that we had to sit her down at the nursing station to recover. This is not sustainable. It's truly sad that this is where we are. It's awful..

So if he and Trump say they have got enough evidence to put 300 million Americans in prison for life... where will we get the staff for the prisons? That's going to be a weird job market.

Western Australia is scorching right now with temps hitting +50.7°C (123°F). That's the #hottest temperature ever recorded in the state, and equal to the hottest ever ever measured in the S. Hemisphere.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

This is Costasiella Kuroshimae, a nudibranch resembling a green sheep. They are capable of photosynthesis by retaining the chloroplasts of algae they graze.
#Nature has so many wonders. Protect it in all its forms.
