@WECAN_INTL #Line5

[WECAN, International @WECAN_INTL]

This week, the DOJ filed a brief on the battle to shutdown Line 5. The brief recognizes that Enbridge “lacks any legal right to remain” on the land, but stops short of calling for an immediate shutdown of the Line 5 pipeline. https://t.co/ZaXjldA43G

Is it worrying that there have been reported cases of locally acquired #malaria in the US? Yes, but there was a very specific set of circumstances that aligned and created the conditions for these cases. Helpful insight from Johns Hopkins. https://t.co/S43atwNxL4

"If we fail on water, we will fail on all of the SDGs..."

So what do we need to ensure a sustainable future of water for all? Public-private partnerships could help catalyze a variety of conservation and water supply efforts. @WEF https://t.co/pDi5X4yuWy

Tourism and conservation can go hand-in-hand, but there's a lot more work to do to enact change on a larger scale.

That means doing something about food waste, littering, and the ever-widening "intention-action" gap. #SustainableTourism https://t.co/OoILqQ3oHO

All too often companies think of sustainability as antithetical to business growth and transformation. But what they get wrong is the fact that these two ideas can not only coexist, but fuel each other.

Our global food systems continue to face hurdle after hurdle, and over 780 million people face extreme food insecurity across the globe.

"The UN’s Sustainable Development Goal of ending hunger by 2030 is in jeopardy" if we do not act now. #FoodSecurity https://t.co/jMdY93Jrrh

Excellent article from @nwtls. These changes in ocean color go beyond the surface. They reflect on the health of plankton, the organisms relying on them, and their ability to take up carbon.

Food for thought:

Plastic pollution is part of a larger, systemic issue. To move toward circularity and clean up our environment, we have to shift our mindsets too.

If #Texas wants a #sustainable way forward, this must be addressed. Every step we take towards adopting more #RenewableEnergy is exciting, however, it's important that we urge each other to see help – be it #politically, through brands, etc. @insideclimate https://t.co/ld4jFDU1Ja

This is an excellent overview of the recent events we are facing in our climate, which are having direct impacts on the health of our planet. From #wildfires to ocean warming – it's important that we all see the signs today.

Several bills in Texas are looking to turn renewable energy into a highly coveted feature. The further they push for this, the less their environment is actually helped.

Beyond the climate-altering issues our planet faces, Canada continues to be an example of just how much of an economic toll any region can take if not invested properly in climate change protection. @nytimes

The particularly #dangerous heat that many places have been experiencing goes beyond normal Summer conditions. As a result of slowly creeping #ClimateChange, many people are being forced to stop working in these harsh conditions. #ElNino https://t.co/fTLy2V2JYM
