With conventional farming, we not only remove carbon from topsoil but also create a hard layer a few inches beneath that doesn't allow water to sink in.

So we need to farm in a way that increases soil organic content.

Dear Madam CM Punjab.

On this #WorldEnvironmentDay I request you to change our agricultural policy to help farmers practice tree-based farming because we are losing soil fertility.

We need to educate farmers to add animal and plant waste to soil. 🙏🏿

They put Angela Davis on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, charged her with capital offenses, and held her 16 months with the death penalty on the table.

On June 4, 1972, an all-white jury heard the evidence and cleared her of every charge.

This is not ancient history. Angela Davis is still alive. The same playbook of criminalizing dissent, overcharging, sensationalizing, then quietly backing away when the facts collapse is still used on our communities today.

Remember that when you hear prosecutors and police talk about “dangerous” voices and “public safety,” and remember that our people are not defined by the lies written in police reports or on wanted posters.

It’s #worldenvironmentday the day to remind ourselves that we need to care, protect, cherish it every day.. it is, after all, our life support system.

A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."

The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.

Bill Pulte is willing to do whatever it takes to weaponize the intelligence agencies against Trump’s domestic enemies.

For Trump, that’s the only qualification he needs.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Whoa! The West is a brutal reminder that you can’t negotiate with climate change.

70% of the West’s water supply depends on mountain snowpack. This year, record warmth and the “March Meltdown” turned that natural reservoir into a trickle.

Farmers are leaving fields unplanted, cities are imposing restrictions, and wildfire season is here.

All that while Trump and Republicans not only pretend climate change isn’t real, their policies are making it worse.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family.

That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know.

I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.

When hungry people need meals, every second counts—and sometimes small changes make the biggest difference. That’s why WCK’s #ChefsForGaza team is using a new onion slicer in the kitchen, which allows the prep team to slice one kilogram of onions in seven seconds instead of the two minutes it usually takes by hand. This means our chefs can get more hot, comforting meals to families in need as quickly as possible—when they matter most.

This week, my amendment to ban billionaire-funded super PACs received unanimous support from my Democratic colleagues.

The momentum is growing. It’s time to repeal Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to the public funding of elections NOW.

If you think that dramatic spikes in ocean temperatures aren’t much of a concern, it’s time to think again.

This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.

In the 1990s, Canadian ecologist Suzanne Simard made a groundbreaking discovery that challenged everything we thought we knew about how forests work. While studying managed forests in British Columbia, she noticed something puzzling: when birch trees were removed to promote the growth of valuable Douglas firs, the firs did not flourish as expected, they actually struggled and grew more slowly.

Determined to understand why, Simard traced the movement of nutrients using radioactive carbon isotopes. What she found was astonishing. Trees were actively sharing resources through vast underground fungal networks known as mycorrhizae. These delicate, thread-like fungi connect the roots of different trees across the forest floor, forming a complex web that allows the exchange of carbon, water, nutrients, and even chemical signals, sometimes between entirely different species.

She discovered that older, larger trees often serve as central "hubs" or "mother trees," supporting younger saplings by redistributing vital resources and helping the entire ecosystem remain resilient. When these key trees are removed, the underground network weakens, and the health of the remaining forest declines.

Simard’s research overturned the traditional Darwinian view of forests as battlegrounds of ruthless competition. Instead, she revealed a far more sophisticated reality: forests operate as highly cooperative systems where trees communicate, support one another, and even warn neighboring trees about threats like drought, disease, or insect attacks.

What appears to the human eye as a silent, still forest is, in truth, a vibrant, interconnected living network, built not on isolation and rivalry, but on deep connection and mutual aid.

To make healthy, nutritious and environmentally safe food available, it is crucial that our agricultural policies change to incentivise farmers towards regenerative farming methods.

Because these methods focus on maintaining soil health and crop quality.

It's quite exciting to see soil awareness is picking up momentum and we're beginning to see more documentaries about this important topic.

Let's keep up the good work and continue to talk about soil!

One pot. 200 meals. Immeasurable hope.
WCK chefs in Gaza prepare thousands of these pots every day—each one holding enough food for 200 people to share a nourishing, hot meal. Our teams are working tirelessly to bring comfort to displaced families, one pot at a time. #ChefsForGaza

Quand les oiseaux chantent dans votre jardin, votre cerveau reçoit un signal qu'il interprète depuis des centaines de milliers d'années comme une seule information : il n'y a pas de danger. Pas une impression. Un mécanisme.

Dans toute l'histoire évolutive des mammifères, le silence soudain des oiseaux précédait la présence d'un prédateur. Leur chant continu signalait l'inverse : l'environnement est sûr, les ressources sont disponibles, le système nerveux peut sortir de sa vigilance. Ce câblage n'a pas disparu. Des chercheurs de l'Institut Max Planck pour le développement humain à Berlin ont soumis 295 participants à six minutes de chant d'oiseaux ou de bruit de circulation, dans une expérience randomisée publiée dans Scientific Reports en 2022. Le chant des oiseaux a réduit de manière significative l'anxiété et les pensées anxieuses — des effets mesurables sur l'état mental après six minutes d'écoute.

Une étude plus récente a suivi 233 personnes lors d'une promenade de trente minutes dans un parc, en mesurant la pression artérielle, la fréquence cardiaque et le cortisol salivaire avant et après. Le cortisol a chuté en moyenne de 33 %. Les participants qui avaient activement prêté attention au chant des oiseaux autour d'eux ont obtenu des résultats encore plus marqués. Pas besoin d'identifier les espèces. Pas besoin de connaître leur nom. Juste écouter.

Ce qui rend ce signal plus fragile qu'il n'y paraît : la LPO, le Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle et l'Office français de la biodiversité ont publié le bilan de trente ans de comptages. Entre 1989 et 2019, la France a perdu près de 30 % de ses oiseaux communs. Dans les milieux agricoles, un tiers des effectifs a disparu. Merles, mésanges, pinsons, rouge-gorges — les espèces des jardins ordinaires déclinent à mesure que les haies disparaissent, que les insectes se raréfient, que les façades se rénovent sans laisser de cavités.

Le chant du matin n'est pas un fond sonore. C'est un rapport sur l'état du vivant autour de vous.

Ce que votre jardin attire, votre cerveau l'entend.

Ever wondered how streams continue to flow, rivers keep receiving water, and wildlife survives even through the harshest summer months in landscapes where forests and wild animals depend on a steady supply of water ! The answer often lies in "Nature’s Sponge' the montane grasslands. Most people judge a landscape by the number of trees it has. But nature does not work that way. A forest is not healthier than a grassland simply because it has more trees. Every ecosystem has its own unique role. The montane grasslands of the Western Ghats are among nature’s greatest water engineers. Often called the 'Water Towers' of the landscape, these ancient grasslands capture mist, absorb rainfall like a sponge, and store vast quantities of water beneath the ground. They then release it slowly through the year, feeding streams, rivers and springs long after the monsoon has passed. This hidden natural reservoir sustains forests, supports unique wildlife like Nilgiri Tahr, replenishes groundwater and becomes a lifeline for people, agriculture and entire ecosystems during the dry season. The lesson is therefore simple, it is not about planting trees everywhere. It is about protecting every unique ecosystem #WorldEnvironmentDay 5th June 2025 #grasslands #climateaction #NowForClimate video @supriyasahuias
