🌳 Forests are more than just trees — they're vital ecosystems that cover 31% of our planet's land and shelter 80% of world’s terrestrial species.

This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America, but Trump’s Supreme Court has paved the way for him to be one.

We must stop him.

Soil is where our food begins.

Improving soil fertility is critical for biodiversity as it provides essential nutrients to sustain plant growth.

The Fourth of July is about celebrating the big, bold, inclusive experiment that is our American democracy. And it has always been an experiment. Our democracy has never been guaranteed, which means we can’t take it for granted. We need to keep fighting for it, keep improving it, and keep making sure it reflects the better angels of our nature instead of the worst. That, more than anything, is what America is all about.

Donald Trump attempted to overthrow an election, wants to be a dictator on day one, and has promised revenge and retribution if he wins—and the Supreme Court he appointed just gave him virtually unlimited immunity to do it.

Ask yourself: What will happen next?

"The bottom line answer to the question about why biodiversity matters is fairly simple: The rest of the living world can get along without us, but we can't get along without them." @SylviaEarle

We’re at the best point that we could possibly imagine, armed with what we now know. Not only can we see the problems — we also know what to do.

🌍On #EarthDay2024, the call is clear: #BeatPlasticPollution to safeguard our planet & all life on it.

Ingested plastic threatens marine species, including 86% of sea turtles, 44% of seabirds & 43% of marine mammals.

The ocean is the blue heart of the planet — we should take care of our heart. It's what makes life possible for us.

I wish I could just wave a magic wand and get people to see how remarkable it is that life exists, that humans exist, with the capacity to wonder.

The #PlasticsTreaty is a once in a planet opportunity to fix the problem of plastic pollution. For the sake of the planet & generations to come we must all work together for a strong and legally binding Treaty grounded in independent scientific evidence at #inc3 @ScientistsCoa

This post is dedicated to the unseen heroes, the thousands of Zaka (first responder volunteers) who have recovered bodies of victims and have witnessed the most horrific things beyond human comprehension.

Words cannot describe our gratitude.

We pray for them and for their mental and physical well-being.

MIT Chemists Show “Black Summer” Megafire Widened Ozone Hole by 10% in 2020

A wildfire can pump smoke up into the stratosphere, where the particles drift for over a year. A new MIT study has found that while suspended there, these particles can trigger chemical reactions that erode the protective ozone layer shielding the Earth from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet radiation.

The study, which was published in the journal Nature on March 8, focuses on the smoke from the “Black Summer” megafire in eastern Australia, which burned from December 2019 into January 2020. The fires — the country’s most devastating on record — scorched tens of millions of acres and pumped more than 1 million tons of smoke into the atmosphere.

'One of the biggest on record'

Ozone hole bigger than North America opens above Antarctica

The recently measured ozone hole over Antarctica, as detected by the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite, is one of the largest on record, according to a report from the European Space Agency. The hole reached an astounding 26 million square kilometers on September 16, 2023 - approximately three times the size of Brazil.

The satellite hosts a cutting-edge multispectral imaging spectrometer known as Tropomi. The instrument enhances atmospheric monitoring capabilities by identifying distinct "fingerprints" of various gases across different segments of the electromagnetic spectrum. This allows for more precise and higher resolution imaging of a wide array of pollutants.

Every year, 5️⃣1⃣ million tonnes of plastic leak into nature.

Plastic pollution is threatening our planet's #biodiversity.

To #BeatPlasticPollution, we need to tackle the root causes and transform the way we produce, consume and dispose of plastics.
