🌎Just a little alert to the world: the sky randomly turned dark today in São Paulo, and meteorologists believe it’s smoke from the fires burning *thousands* of kilometers away, in Rondônia or Paraguay. Imagine how much has to be burning to create that much smoke(!). SOS🌎

Super excited to announce I'm starting a new initiative in the DR: @unavainaverde is a creative platform where we'll make noise about #sustainability issues for a wide audience, in the process engaging them to come up with solutions. #gogreen #unavainaverde #sostenabilidad

Remember how like 2 weeks ago the UN told us that biodiversity loss was urgently threatening the foundations of human life
