Natural ecosystems transfer over 13 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide per year (equal to more than one-third of global emissions from fossil fuels) to mycorrhizal fungi, locking it away underground.

Rewilding is climate action too.

📢It’s final: Swiss voters have approved the net-zero climate law. With a majority of 59.1% against 40.9%, Switzerland will accelerate its transition form fossil fuels to renewable energies to reach zero emissions by 2050. Here’s more: https://t.co/ekbfTa5DDj

The Swiss population sends out a strong signal: the law for bringing the country to net zero emissions was accepted today!
What started with the #glacier initiative several years ago has now come to an end.
Very happy that the arguments of #climate science were heard!

Nice #PlasticsTreaty clip feat. my fave @Davzoul demystifying process and highlighting what "ending plastic pollution" means for reducing production and de-toxifying plastics + shout out to @AOSISChair for strong statements to bring home the true impacts

“reality is that 70 percent of bottles are never collected for recycling…”

“Many end up on beaches or in waterways, where they degrade…”

“But blighted beaches are only the tip of the iceberg…PET plastic bottles cause hazardous chemical pollution at every stage of their life”

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

“According to a new report co-published by the nonprofit Defend Our Health and Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Beyond Petrochemicals campaign, PET plastic bottles cause hazardous chemical pollution at every stage of their life cycle.” https://t.co/q2sFiTLwZE

✍️ Sign the petition to call on Coca-Cola to end its use of antimony and cobalt compounds immediately, replace 50% of their plastic with reusable or refillable container systems by 2030, and to stop using new PET plastic by 2040.

The Swiss go to the polls on June 18 to decide on the new climate law. The plan calls for Switzerland to accelerate the transition to renewable energy and reduce its net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050. Watch our explainer, or read the article: https://t.co/X1dOcJ0wRJ

NYS folks, you've got an opportunity to cut packaging waste by 50%! But Big Plastic is not going to go down without a fight and we need you to call to help counter their influence in Albany. Call today to urge leg leaders to pass the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Act ASAP.

Die letzten 10 Jahre waren eine Katastrophe für unsere #Gletscher. Die Alpen, unsere Heimat, sie verändert sich schneller als wir es je erlebt haben.
Wir wissen wieso, und wie wir dazu beitragen können, das zu stoppen.

It should be obvious - NO NEW PLASTIC is the way forward. But at the very least, recycled plastic requires value. Policies must support reuse / recycling. And allow new plastic to become the next fossil fuel boom @PlasticsBeyond #PlasticsTreaty

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

Plastic pollution could reduce by 80% by 2040 if governments and companies make policy and market shifts using existing technologies.
