"It's not about the system, it's not about capitalism... it's a change in consciousness."
@CraigCohon didn't prepare a @TEDx talk, instead he took them for a walk in #Bulgaria and shared his thoughts in this great doc.
Thanks #TEDxVitoshaSalon

"We don't have to wait for corporations, we don't have to wait for politicians, we can make the change".
Climate action man @CraigCohon told @LondonLive upon completing his giant climate campaign walk for #carbonremoval.
Every little counts 👣🌍🌿
An activist promoting carbon capture has walked 2,640 miles from London to Istanbul.
Craig Cohon, who is Canadian but based in London, crossed the finish line at the Galata Bridge in Turkey on Monday morning, which also marks World Environment Day and his 60th birthday.
What a tremendous honour to have been with life-saving hero @nasuhmahruki for the last kilometers of this walk in #Istanbul. Thanks for joining us, Nasuh.
I am so happy to be part of this visionary project of Craig Cohon for global climate change awareness…
I share his passion and respect his great effort for all of us…
It was a privilige to have walked with you dear Craig. Thank you so much for what you are doing for our only home in the Universe…
Congrats, @CraigCohon on your @2023walkitback 2,640-mile journey for carbon reduction! We caught up with Craig in Sofia, Bulgaria, where he shared the inspiration for his mission to reverse his lifetime carbon footprint going back to 1963. We’ll see you in September for even more climate action.
He did it, and what an incredible journey it was.
Thank you @WRISehirler@re1nitiative@MOTuran and the Istanbul municipality #EFG and all our guests for making this finish line a success for @CraigCohon and for #carbonremoval.
Onward!

Karbon ayak izinden suçluluk duyan bir iş adamı bir aktiviste nasıl dönüşür ve iklim eylemlerinin sınırlarını zorlar?
3 Ocak 2023’te iş insanı Craig Cohon, Londra’dan Avrupa kıtasını yürümek üzere yola çıktı.

🇹🇷 @CraigCohon is just 5 days away from accomplishing his mission.
In 5 days, he'll be:
- finishing his gigantic 4,218 km walk
- celebrating #worldenvironmentday with all of us in #Istanbul
- turning 60
- telling us what comes next (hint: it's got to do with #carbonremoval)
How did #solarenergy become a popular climate solution and what can we learn from this?
We believe government action, positive feedback and social contagion could propel the implementation of #carbonremoval.

“Walking... connects you faster to people, to the environment, to conversations and to humanity.”
Craig spoke to The @Independent's @maryambzh about the importance of building heart-to-heart connections with people he meets on the road, to enact change.

Less than 1 million tons of carbon are being captured and removed today. Novel carbon removal needs to be scaled up to 75 million metric tons by 2030.
See what #IPCC authors, government representatives & leading experts had to say in our recent webinar.

So let's not look away from the #ClimateEmergency, let's keep talking about #carbonremoval, debunk myths, and not shut down good, clean options that may help us all reach our target for a more liveable planet 🌍☘️🌾
"We’re with you @JohnKerry. Solely relying on #carbonremoval would be dangerous. We need to reduce and remove, not one or the other."

Here at @2023walkitback, we support the Science Based Targets Initiative, which advises that removals should only account for up to 10% of a #NetZero plan — the rest must come from emission cuts.
