Who needs some relaxing nature footage right about now? These shots were captured in Zion National Park in late December 2019, during a small snowstorm, largely along the Canyon Overlook trail. @ZionNPS#Utah
Lithuania’s capital, Vilnius, has announced plans to turn the city into a vast open-air cafe by giving over much of its public space to hard-hit bar and restaurant owners so they can put their tables outdoors and still observe physical distancing rules. https://t.co/9x5lS9WWrY
You’ve probably never looked at them twice, and now they are the heroes of this pandemic. They don’t get to work from home, are paid low wages, and expose themselves daily to a dangerous virus just to keep us safe. Cleaners deserve your respect and kindness today and everyday ❤️
Toronto is seeking federal and/or provincial funding to accelerate the completion of the $2.5 billion Don River and Central Waterfront project that aims to improve water quality in the Lower Don River, Taylor-Massey Creek, and Toronto’s Inner Harbour.

Northern Canada is warming at about three times the global average – that's alarming, and we're taking action by protecting marine & coastal areas in the High Arctic. That’s real progress for Nunavut, for Canada & for Inuit communities who rely on these coasts & waters every day.
@ec_minister The amount of paid conservative propangada on twitter these days is ugly and shameful. Intelligent debate is what we should strive for, every comment below isn’t outside of what should be a united front in preserving our natural environment 🌿
Redside Dace & Brook Trout in Ontario rivers an indicator of healthy environment. Thriving American Eel numbers a sign of healthy Lake Ontario. Recreational waters in urban areas an indicator of effective env laws. #Swimdrinkfish @GL_Guide
Canada needs to study and act on the link between Weedkiller & Cancer. Troubling news that Weedkiller raises risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma by 41%' | Business | The Guardian #swimdrinkfish And it all ends up in water! https://t.co/LOrDDfri6D
If Toronto stops polluting Don River & inner harbour every time it rains or melts - Port Lands will thrive. Google’s Sidewalk Lab is just a tech savvy landlord in waiting. #swimdrinkfish https://t.co/1FnqFS06FH
Amazon is paying $0 in taxes on $11+ billion in profit.
$0 for schools.
$0 for firefighters.
$0 for infrastructure.
$0 for research and healthcare.
Why should corporations that contribute nothing to the pot be in a position to take billions from the public?
