It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as vice president to President @JoeBiden.

Joe's legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern history.

Scotland is aiming to be the world's first rewilded country. It's looking to rewild 30% of the country by 2030.

We have the solutions. Replenishing and protecting nature is one of them. #ActOnClimate

He lost his father and brother to fentanyl, so he wrote 'honest' death notices: Unlike many of those who have lost loved ones to the raging opioid epidemic, Matthew Larventz has not tried to paper over the cause of his grief. #cdnpoli #sask

South Australia went from 1% renewables in 2007 to 68% in just over 15 years. It's on track for 100% renewable energy by 2030.

It can be done.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

$3M emergency homeless shelter at the forum in Halifax - made of curtain dividers used for for display booths (h/t @Girrl_Friday)
vs
emergency homeless shelter in Finland - a bed, a fridge, a desk, a window and a door that locks. #homelessness #cdnpoli

Wait. What?! Oh this is not good. Canada has been underestimating oilsand emissions by up to 6000%?! #cdnpoli #abpoli https://t.co/SyRCuruGqx

Fossil fuels were given over $7 TRILLION in subsidies last year: https://t.co/uBmJhBX3Xd That's $19.2 billion per day,
$799 million per hour,
$13.3 million every minute.

The first step in addressing the problem is to stop funding it. #ActOnClimate

11 of 94 - there is no excuse for this.
Embarrassing and unforgiveable.

In days, the EU’s @EP_Environment is voting on a law that could #restorenature, rebuild bees’ and other pollinators' habitats, and set an example for the rest of the world. We all depend on nature to survive. Sign & RT https://t.co/hBi8zjsQ5r

“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.

A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.

Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”

Values are transmitted from generation to generation.

What values are we teaching our children?

Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

Loneliness is common and can have significant health effects, making it a critical public health concern. That’s why I issued a Surgeon General's Advisory on the epidemic of loneliness and the healing power of connection. #GlobalLonelinessAwarenessWeek https://t.co/gEmfPehfKp

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

As Jenny LeFlore, founder of Mama Fresh Chicago, points out, a strong community is one of the best supports parents can give their kids. After feeling the health impacts of prolonged loneliness, Jenny brought families together to #Connect2Heal.

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

DYK: the risk of developing depression in adults is more than double among people who report feeling lonely often compared to those who rarely or never feel lonely. Loneliness is widespread, but there is medicine hiding in plain sight: social connection. https://t.co/YHwJTPI0hp

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

There has been a steady decline in social connection over decades, with almost half of Americans reporting having three or fewer close friends. Our relationships are a powerful source of healing—let's invest in them. https://t.co/P9RnZkLr6G #Connect2Heal

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

NEW: Today, I released a Surgeon General's Advisory on the epidemic of loneliness and isolation facing our country, the destructive impacts it has on our collective health, and the extraordinary healing power of our relationships. https://t.co/P9RnZkLr6G #Connect2Heal 1/8
