The Earth is 4.6 billion years old.

Let's scale that to 46 years.

We've been here for 4 hours.

Since then we've destroyed more than a third of the world's forests.

Half of that happened in the last minute.

Healthy planet and healthy communities require healthy forests.

One thing that very few people have pointed out about Ukraine is how its state has continued to provide essential services even under severe disruptions created by Russia's invasion — and even more, how quickly it has adapted to this new reality. A couple of examples.

Russia's war against Ukraine, day three. Early morning here in Ukraine. Kyiv is standing. Enemy tanks were destroyed in the western part of the city. Sounds of gunfire and street fighting. President Zelensky is in the capital. Brave Ukrainian heroes continue to defend their land

There's another covid outbreak on my prison unit. DOC has plenty of N95 masks now, but prisoners will get a disciplinary infraction if they're caught with one. Why? Because N95s also protect us from their tear gas, which they still freely use during a respiratory pandemic.

"We spent a long time thinking we were engaged in an argument about data and reason," @billmckibben says about the climate movement over the last three decades. "But now we realize it's a fight over money and power."
