Everyone Repost the hell out of this video. 🔥

Senate Dems: HOLD THE LINE! No more funding for ICE without MAJOR reforms.

Say it with me: #ICEoffOurStreets!!!

People are talking about fascism. I've heard from people who are baffled that we haven't been speaking of fascism more and earlier, and from people who want to know what it means – and from people who want me to explain why fascism is bad.

Happy Composting Day! 🌱

Almost 25% of what we bury in landfills is #foodwaste. Composting is one of the best ways we can STOP CLIMATE DAMAGE.

But we need cities and states to pitch in.

Help tell @POTUS to fund clean composting programs. 📢 👇

Celebrating the @UNEP #ZeroWasteDay across the globe! They developed an interactive primer to bring awareness on how unsustainable production and consumption habits have escalated the waste pollution crisis.

I applaud this groundbreaking report that clearly shows #zerowaste strategies are critical to address #ClimateCrisis especially with food scraps #compost that will reduce #methane emissions and build healthy soil and plants that pull #carbon out of our air.

[GAIA -Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives @GAIAnoburn]

Tackling waste is 1 of the easiest + cheapest ways to cool our climate.

#zerowaste could cut GHG by 1.4 bn tonnes (that's ALL vehicles off the road in the US for a year)!

Leaders at #COP27 need to act FAST on waste.

Thanks @RecologyWZ , @cawrecycles, @GAIAnoburn, @NRDC, @SierraClub and so many others who helped make #SB54 as strong as possible to get industry to deal with the impacts of #SingleUsePlastic. Thanks @GavinNewsom for signing this landmark #EPR bill. California leading the way.

[Martin Bourque @MartinRBourque]

Historic moment! As recyclers we know plastic packaging is so devastating for recycling programs, disadvantaged communities, health & environment. With #SB54 signed #BigPlastic will have to bear the burden! Thanks to all who helped. @EcologyCenter

[Susanne Rust @susrust]

#plastics ballot petitioners say they will drop the ballot if state legislators adopt #SB54. They warn that the legislation could fail even if implemented. Here's their letter:

[Jack Macy @jack_macy]

@AlmuthSiegl Yes!

[Plastic Pollutes @PlasticPollutes]

BIG WIN: Today, #LACounty passed an ordinance that will:
🌱 require single-use foodware to be compostable or recyclable
🚫 ban expanded polystyrene products
🌏 require reusable foodware at full-service, dine-in eateries
Congrats #REUSABLELA! #PlasticPollutes

[Jack Macy @jack_macy]

I’m proud of our Rethink Disposable program partnership that is helping businesses switch to reusables.

[SF Environment ♻️💚 @SFEnvironment]

SF Environment and @RDisposable are hitting the streets to help local businesses make the switch 🔀 from single-use, disposable foodware to reusables. Read the story: https://t.co/bqopxzwZGP

More data that fossil gas (greenwashing name: natural gas) is dirtier than coal: Authoritative study finds leaks are 6.7 times estimates, meaning fossil gas damages the #climate 3 times more than coal

This is the umpteenth time studies have showed this

In 2008, tipping points were considered likely only if global warming exceeded 5°C.

Since then, evidence has emerged that tipping points may be exceeded even between 1 and 2°C (we're at 1.2°C).

Another reassessment is now underway. It suggests the threshold is closer to 1°C. 🧵

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

30°C above normal in the Arctic today.
40°C above normal in the Antarctic today.
It would be unbelievable if it were not true.
And it is terrifying beyond words.
The war we have waged against the natural world has, in climatic terms, just gone nuclear.

[Jack Macy @jack_macy]

Global virgin resource extraction has nearly doubled just in the last 20 years. Moving toward a #circulareconomy and #zerowaste ASAP is critical.

[Matthias Schmelzer @MGSchmelzer]

In only 50 years, global use of materials has nearly quadrupled.

Ultimately, over 90% of all materials extracted and used are wasted. https://t.co/RstpTh4VGd
