@Megatron_ron @gurujammy Wagner looking some new work that Putin will find acceptable 🤣

The flag of Jamaica was adopted 61 years ago today, on 6 Aug 1962. It was designed by a bipartisan committee of the House of Representatives after a competition with 360 submissions failed to yield a winner. The colours were originally interpreted as "hardships there are but the land is green and the sun shineth”, but in 1996 it was changed to black representing the strength and creativity of the people which has allowed them to overcome difficulties, gold for the wealth of the country and the sunshine, and green for the island’s lush vegetation, and hope. It is the world’s only national flag that does not contain red, white, or blue. #Jamaica

@JamaicaObserver When I was on a project in Dominican Republic some of the private guards carried shotguns Those type of guns allow greater firepower effective at short range with less risk to general public.
Just saying.

Today's World Oceans Day theme ‘The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods’ celebrates how our oceans sustain people and planet. Our GK Foundation's #KHEAMProject is helping to preserve our oceans, through the rehabilitation of mangroves in the Kingston Harbour

[Action for Earth @ActionEarthorg]

It’s happening now. Countries and companies setting net-zero targets for the future might sound nice, but we need action now! 💥 #actionforearth #climatequote #climateactionnow

[NewerWorlds @NewerWorlds1]

@matthewsamuda Great to get the Guns. Getting the Gun Runners would be even better. It’s a business and we need to crack the supply chain - from source. Work with Kamela Harris - VPOTUS

Tomorrow June 5 is World Environment Day. Let’s celebrate it with some personal action, no matter how small. Give Nature a moment to breathe, clean. This is the UN designated Decade of Ecosystem Restoration. Plant a tree or better still a Mangrove.

[NewerWorlds @NewerWorlds1]

Will the opportunity be missed to include #mangrove restoration at the mouth of Barnes Gully in downtown #kingston #Jamaica ? Doesn’t cost much but, sadly, historically overlooked, not budgeted for. #kheamproject could help! Carpe Diem #COP26 #kingstonharbour @JSIFJA @CcdJamaica

[NewerWorlds @NewerWorlds1]

@jamentrust @dmccaulay @JamaicaGleaner Palisadoes strip is not given recognition for the CRITICAL role it plays in defending Kingston/Portmore from storm surges & tsunamis. Healthy #mangroves key for this. Category 6 Hurricanes will now devastate #KingstonHarbour coastal communities - for real! #kheamproject

[NewerWorlds @NewerWorlds1]

@OChedda Is it established in Jamaica now?

[NewerWorlds @NewerWorlds1]

@gurujammy MoBay looking better for you !?

[V Patrick Barrett 🇮🇪🇯🇲🇬🇧 @VernonBarrett]

@dmccaulay Truth is #Jamaica is slow accessing the $Billion GreenClimateFund - US$1 million is ‘micro’ 🤣! There is an URGENT need to conceive/submit innovative 🧑🏽‍🎓ACTION projects $10M to #GCF - not just Plans - to impact #ClimateAction #Agenda2030 #mangroves @AndrewHolnessJM #SIDS

[V Patrick Barrett 🇮🇪🇯🇲🇬🇧 @VernonBarrett]

@jamentrust @nepajamaica @RamsarConv @dmccaulay @ccam_foundation Are we taking #ClimateAction seriously? @AndrewHolnessJM place a moratorium on future resort “development” involving destruction of #mangrove #ecosystems. Establish #BlueCarbon Fund to "buy up” remaining mangroves in #Jamaica - preserving them against such vandalism. #COP26

Time spent in nature is good for mental health and wellbeing.

Mangroves are around 50x more cost effective than cement sea walls at protecting coastlines from extreme weather, so are a great nature based solution for companies to explore.

We've been working on a mangrove restoration project in Pakistan ➡️ https://t.co/iyoUFhA6xd

Hello @AndrewHolnessJM;

Earlier you said "Trees are essential to the sustenance of nature, climate, and humanity" and you're 100% correct.

Here's why mangroves (which are also trees FYI) are specifically essential

[NewerWorlds @NewerWorlds1]

Amen !!

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Time for #ClimateAction:

Put a price on carbon.

End fossil fuel subsidies.

Phase out coal & stop building coal power plants.

Shift tax burden from taxpayers to polluters.

Invest in renewable energy & green infrastructure.

Fund & implement just transition plans.

[NewerWorlds @NewerWorlds1]

In tandem with protecting remaining #KingstonHarbour #mangroves we have to lend nature a hand, propagating new mangroves via the nursery at #PortRoyal Marine Lab #UWI. Part of our #KHEAMproject funded by #CaribbeanBiodiversityFund
