@VTMNIEUWS please file an official complaint for the blunt and disgusting sexual harassment of your reporter on live TV!

“Taking the knowledge we have and applying it” That is why we started our alliance of stakeholders for a sustainable future. https://t.co/EbmaLMR1js

I consider this a sweet spot in time. We're right at this crossroads, and I’m not alone in observing the urgency of taking the knowledge we have and applying it to ensure that we can do the best we can with it.

[Sylvia A. Earle @SylviaEarle]

Our past, our present, and whatever remains of our future absolutely depend on what we do now.

Thank you @SylviaEarle for your continued efforts to restore the blue heart of the planet. You bring hope and inspiration and I for one would not be where I am today without your incredible support! 💙💙💙 @MissionBlue

It is a privilege to share @MissionBlue's newest Hope Spot, the Great Southern Reef of Australia!

@conner_rousseau Van een jonge leider had ik verwacht dat je iets slimmer en genuanceerder zou reageren op de beperking van de kinderbijslag voor een 3de kind! Wat een dwaze en kortzichtige reactie in een tijd dat geboortebeperking gestimuleerd zou moeten worden.

Euro-politician @IvoBelet says: “Let’s not take (polluting) balloons away from our children.” Kids can’t vote so he prefers giving away their future to keep his voters happy.

@JimCameron just said it very eloquently, we are either takers or caretakers and we need a lot more of the latter to keep this planet sustainable.

@JackPhan “Meant for good” just like dynamite :-)

Sharing a few reasons to be hopeful about the future: 10 initiatives that probably deserve just as much attention as The Ocean Cleanup Project.

Contrary to a fuel-burning aircraft, solar-powered aircrafts like the @SolarStratos get more power and become more efficient the higher they fly! I want one! :-) Go @RaphaelDomjan thanks for the tour!

[ief winckelmans @iefwin]

@PeterSimoons @oceanimpa The only way to make this happen is with strategic alliances, making your expertise invaluable Peter!

@JillPeetersWX @GertCoone @niels2a @WMO @CloudAppSoc I hope the Flemish ‘Divergent Eddy’ and German ‘Willy Willy’ are not inviting any Sandy’s, Katrina’s or Irma’s on their European tour! :-)

#waterfront #gonewest is a great initiative, but making a human chain with 3000 PLASTIC boats is a massive missed opportunity to create environmental awareness! The ‘second life’ application is utter greenwashing!!! https://t.co/sk9kGr2OEz

[ief winckelmans @iefwin]

@provinciewvl Plastic bootjes? Werkelijk? Dit had een eco-awareness kans van formaat kunnen zijn! Het second life argument is pure greenwashing!!!

[ief winckelmans @iefwin]

@dina_ep The day after the #EnecoCleanBeachCup #Blankenberge should skip the plastic police tape next time!

[ief winckelmans @iefwin]

Everybody watches the weather, hence I can’t think of any initiative with a bigger potential of reaching and educating millions of people about the impact of human activity on this planet than Climate without Borders! https://t.co/Zy30OQzkuj

Proud to be founder of CLIMATE without BORDERS: global network of #climate #weather presenters. Supported by @WMO @UNFCCC @IPCC_CH #CWBnow

Thank you @SylviaEarle for educating the world about the importance of the ocean! Anyone who doesn’t know this ocean-legend, please do watch #missionblue on Netflix! https://t.co/W3D7oW5w33

Knowing is the key to caring, and with caring there is hope that people will be motivated to take positive actions. They might not care even if they know, but they can’t care if they are unaware.
