May is Clean Air Month! 🌎 A reminder that clean air shouldn’t be a luxury, a privilege, or an individual problem to solve alone.

Real change means holding corporations and decision-makers accountable for the systems impacting our air, health, and communities.

Landfill core ✨🐰

Easter comes with a lot of hidden waste—plastic eggs, packaging, excess candy. Most of it gets used once and tossed. If you’re celebrating, what would you do differently?

Happy Fossil Fool’s Day 🤡 The real joke? They knew about climate change for decades and chose profits anyway.

We don’t need more fossil fuels. We need clean energy, accountability, and a future that actually puts people first.

Plastic isn’t just an environmental issue. It’s a human health crisis.

🎬 #ThePlasticDetox, now streaming on @Netflix, follows six couples attempting a plastic detox at home, revealing how microplastics may be affecting our health.

Our bodies are no place for plastic.

The problem is the system.

Our current economy is built to extract, produce, consume, and throw away. A circular economy keeps materials in use longer through reuse, repair, and recycling. ♻️ It’s time to move beyond the throwaway model.

Impulse buys fuel waste. 📣

A few simple questions can slow the cycle: Do you need it? Can you borrow it? Will you maintain it?

The most sustainable purchase is often the one you don’t make.

🚨 Calling all WA State residents!

A bottle bill would mean less plastic in our neighborhoods, but it won’t happen unless we push for it.

If you live in WA, tell your legislators to support HB 1607 & SB 5502.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean more stuff. 💐


From saying no to single-use packaging to thrifting gifts and refilling what we already have, love can look like care for each other and the planet.
