This Western Red Cedar is 182 ft tall. It's the largest known tree in Canada.
Only a fraction of British Columbia's iconic old growth forests remain. 1,200 people have been arrested. They're still being logged.
Protect the irreplaceable.

Hmm…what a surprise. An organization that claims to be an NGO but is funded by government and industry isn’t recommending banning scrubbers or heavy fuel oil…this is one of the most sophisticated pieces of greenwash I have ever seen.
UPDATE‼️ @target Annual General Meeting ends abruptly, port resident questions asked, but went unanswered.
@target CEO Brian Cornell, BOD @DericaRice@melhealey, execs @LayshaWard@mschindele: take a full look at their questions here: https://t.co/7LCpECKPvs
On Earth Day, 8-year-old Sahalel's letter to @target was turned away at their front door.
Today is @target's Annual General Meeting. Will you help Sahalel deliver her message to @target leadership @LayshaWard@mschindele?
hey @RBC, we fixed your homepage for you!
Hot tip for next time: if you're really interested in reimagining a sustainable future, we recommend not spending over CAD$ 263 BILLION on fossil fuels since 2016.
@Target - you have no time to think this over. It's time that you join with our brothers and sisters and movements here in Minneapolis and in California and everywhere else that you're impacting with the pollution you're generating from your ships.
Proud to stand with @shipitzerocrew, community members and some of my fellow elected officials in calling for @Target to commit to 100% zero-emissions ships by 2030.
Their current modes add to the climate crisis and disproportionately impact communities of color.
HAPPENING NOW: Activists gather at @Target HQ @TargetCenterMN in wintery Minneapolis to deliver 20,000+ signatures demanding clean ocean shipping.
Follow for live updates.
@ajassy The @shipitzerocrew welcomes @Amazon's participation in the First Movers Coalition. It sends an important market signal for clean ocean shipping.
But it is imperative that you take action this decade, NOT by 2040, on #ZEVs. 19 years is too long to wait.

BREAKING: @amazon, @IKEAUSA, and other retailers commit to #AbandonDirtyShips by 2040.
We 👏 them for their leadership but we can’t afford to wait 19 years for real climate action! Step up for #ZeroEmission#shipping by 2030.

I also recently joined @shipitzerocrew in support of their efforts to urge some of the largest companies in the world to achieve zero-emissions shipping by 2030.
