A very special and beautiful moment!
This 59-year-old chimpanzee was refusing food and ready to die — until she received one last visit from an old friend.
Pandas are no longer considered endangered by the Chinese government. They are now listed as ‘vulnerable’. It is estimated that 1,800 pandas currently live in the wild. (NPR, Pruitt-young)

20 countries were able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while growing their economy from 2000 to 2015. This is proof that a green economy is possible and that we don’t need to sacrifice the economy for long term climate solutions. #ClimateAction#environment#GlobalWarming
Climate change activists have won a big legal victory against oil giant Royal Dutch Shell. A Dutch court ruled Wednesday that the company must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 45% by 2030, based on 2019 levels.

BP to drill for gas on edge of world’s largest coldwater coral reef, but will remind everyone they’re the good guys by changing their Twitter logo to a rainbow for a couple of days.
Moss appreciation post. Cryptogmatic covers (land algae, lichens, and moss) absorb as much CO2 as is released from forest and biomass burning each year (https://t.co/nUiG8EHGIX Max Planck Society). Let the moss grow! #environnement#ClimateCrisis#ClimateAction
The United States is the second highest CO2 emitter in the world, together with China they account for nearly half of all emissions. We can do better. #RacistHunter#enviornment#fortheearth
Exxon’s own assessment of its $210 billion investment strategy shows yearly emissions rising 17% by 2025
Exxon knew then
Exxon knows now
Exxon is committing Ecocide

The consumer has a lot of power, and we can use that power to fight climate change. Companies like @Microsoft, which has a goal to be carbon negative by 2030, are examples of how we can change our economy to be more eco friendly without losing value. #greeneconomy#ClimateAction
We need to be better about recycling. In the US in 2017 only one third of waste was recycled (https://t.co/XmxrCFcdQ1, Marsh) we can do better than that. #environment#fortheearth
Bhutan is the most environmentally friendly nation. They are actually carbon negative, due mostly to their vast expanse of protected forests. The constitution requires 60% of its land be protected forest (Nat geo, Youn) #belikebhutan
Concrete is the second most consumed resource, after water, on the planet and is responsible for about 8% of global emissions annually (bbc news, Lucy Rodgers). Luckily there are new alternatives that can even be carbon negative like @CarbonCure. #carboncapture#environment
Trains are just awesome, look at how much more environmentally friendly Eurostar is compared to every other major transportation method. #fortheearth#ClimateAction#environment
