QUOTE OF THE DAY
“When you are taking action for climate, it’s not for climate change, it’s for you. It’s for your family, it’s for everything you love, everyone you love, every place that you love – that’s why you’re doing it.”
—Katharine Hayhoe, Climate Scientist
#COP26
I have put together a book with over 100 contributors that will share expertise and experiences from people all over the world. These crises are the biggest story in the world, and they must be spoken as far and wide as our voices can carry, and much further still.
We should abandon the illusion that politicians will come to the rescue of planet Earth, especially those who delight in calling themselves climate leaders. Time and again they have betrayed the faith that has been placed in them.

My greatest climate concern is upcoming #midterm2022 elections. If we lose our Democracy, we won't get it back. W/out climate leadership from U.S. (world's largest historical polluter), global climate action will falter.
Vote like a livable planet depends on it. Because it does.
We all need to care; the planet is our greatest treasure, but Want and Need are very different animals. Want always consumes Need and never stops feeding. Therefore, we must not measure our value by material possessions. We must stop our destructive obsession of taking too much.
📢 Fossil fuels fund war and cause climate chaos!
Our leaders should know by now that European people want peace and sustainable solutions. No more watering down of climate commitments -- it's time for Europe to break up with toxic fossil fuels ❌ https://t.co/DEqtrqH8g8
“We are approaching a precipice. And I would strongly suggest that those of us who have not yet been greenwashed out of our senses stand our ground. Do not let them drag us another inch closer to the edge. Right here, right now, is where we draw the line.”

Folks, this election isn’t about Democrats versus Republicans, Left versus Right.
It’s about democracy versus authoritarianism, protecting rights versus taking them away.
Vote!

This won't bring down #EnergyBills or increase #EnergySecurity - so why are they doing it?
