This is what the climate crisis looks like. Our beautiful homes, luxurious cars, and money has no value on a dead planet.

There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate

In 13 years humans have destroyed an ecosystem the size of Mexico. We need to do better. It’s time for a new deal for nature.

There is no planet B. #ActOnClimate

@PlasticPollutes How do Agave straws rate? They were serving them at a restaurant I ate at recently.

Great article. Didn't know the Canadian wildfires and train derailment accident in February were related to plastic? It's worth reading this op-ed in @Newsweek by @enckj .

[Beyond Plastics @PlasticsBeyond]

1/New op-ed by our pres, @enckj in @Newsweek today. "Plastic has been creeping into our food, our air, our water, and our bodies for decades now, with most people blissfully unaware of its presence and health risks." https://t.co/Q9Jg0r8S3d

Got any concert, festival or sports game plans soon?

Every year, millions of single-use cups and bottles are discarded at large events. But it doesn't have to be that way. Instead, imagine a future where major venues swap to reusables.

They rarely refuse when I ask if I can use my own plate & utensils to reduce trash.
"Do you mind if I use my own plate so I don't need to create #plasticwaste & destroy our environment?"How can they say no to that?

Plastic bottles are problematic! ⚠️ They contain polyethylene terephthalate, leach chemicals into the water they hold, & are known endocrine disruptors. Instead of being recycled, most are sent to landfills, shipped overseas, dumped, & burned. 🚨 We must #BreakFreeFromPlastic. ⁠

There's a lot that can be done to clean up a music festival & some are already doing it. Great article.

#EarthDay is a day to remember that we are blessed with a beautiful planet. So find yourself a peaceful slice of the natural world to soak in. We are animals & nature nurtures us.

p.s. this vid wouldn't upload yesterday but shouldn't we care everyday anyway?

Ithaca College students (NY) created this petition to ask the school to reconsider the installation of artificial turf. Artificial turf sheds microplastics & poisonous forever chemicals into the environment. Check it out and sign if you like. #twithaca

It's tricky to avoid plastic with take out food, but it can be done. I explained that I didn't want to create any more garbage than necessary & especially plastic & the kind restaurateur made it happen. 🙂🙏

#USA We're combating folks that want to disenfranchise minorities & large groups of people so their vote won't count, a woman's right to choose & folks that would rather seek financial profit than save a planet facing environmental collapse.
