The total cost of cleanup for U.S natural disasters (worsened from climate change) from 2015 to 2019, cost taxpayers over $525 billion. Don’t tell me that climate solutions are too expensive.

The UN Secretary General has invoked one of the most powerful tools at his disposal, UN Article 99, to push for permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
The rarely-used article allows him to demand an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council, forcing them to address a ceasefire.
#bhnewsmiddleest
The one place our people are being shoved to. I just hope the UN can get this article 99 shoved through and more aide passed like they need. This is getting ridiculous.
Over 60 days late, but thank you UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres for invoking article ‘99 for an immediate ceasefire!
Zio’nism must fall, and the occupation of Palestine must come to an end! One Palestinian state & equal right for all is the only proper solution!
Secretary-General @AntonioGuterres invoked Article 99 of the @UN Charter with a clear message: avert a humanitarian catastrophe.
Enough is enough – the fighting must stop.
The humanitarian system is on the verge of collapse. We must avoid such an outcome at all cost.

Dear Humanity, #ClimateChange threatens our existence.
If we don't act soon there'll be catastrophic biodiversity loss & untold amounts of human misery.
Time's running out.
Yours,

Act, before action is no longer possible. #ClimateCrisis
If Trump becomes president again, after all we know ,and you supported his campaign you will have participated in the end of American democracy.
You will not be rewarded by your leader beyond a rush you might seek for upending civility.
You aren't part of his plan.
He is the entirety of his plan and the future will belong to him.
Not you.
You won't get a thank you or a knowing nod.
He will allow you to buy trinkets with his image and name emblazoned.
Trump is a despicable example of human kind.
Devoid of compassion.
Devoid of any respect for knowledge and education.
Trump is the fully realized Id.
He will have no guardians , no guard rails and no shame.
He cannot tell the difference between what he is and what he wants.
There is none when you analyze the situation.
He flunks Descarte's building block syllogism automatically.
He can't think so no therefore.
Ego driven rage and revenge.
If you're inclined to assist him please rethink your reasons.

"All I could think about was how no one would listen"
Today's #FridayFeeling comes from Hannah Testa.
At age 14, she worked with her State Senator to create the first 'Plastic Pollution Awareness day'
Here she is talking about the moment when she was going to step on stage.

"McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and other major brands are creating massive amounts of plastic waste. Their initiatives are not enough and they need to be held accountable for the plastics crisis."

To combat the escalating crisis of plastic Pollution in our oceans, a new report from the Ocean Conservancy has urged the banning of five commonly used single-use plastic items.

We're facing a plastic crisis. 🚨 Producers need to take more responsibility and work harder to #endplasticpollution. And the government needs to act quickly to introduce a comprehensive deposit return scheme to save our beautiful rivers and beaches from drowning in plastic.
Plastic pollution could reduce by 80% by 2040 if governments and companies make policy and market shifts using existing technologies.

Plastic pollution can't be ignored. There will be more plastic than fish by weight in the ocean by 2050. MORE PLASTIC THAN FISH! 🐠🥤🥤🥤#BreakFreeFromPlastic#WorldOceansWeek
