When I say impacts of climate change are hitting hard on Africa,
I mean people and wildlife are dying, properties are destroyed & putting millions into suffering #ClimateCrisis#ClimateEmegency
This is Madagascar & 26 people are already dead & many missing #ClimateActionNow
Great news!
Coverage of the #ClimateEmergency shouldn't be influenced by the fossil fuel industry's greenwashing ad money
Time for @EURACTIV and @POLITICOEurope to do the same https://t.co/xJlqQjHD9h
Friday, April 3, 2020, is Canada's national #FridaysForFuture#ClimateStrike.

Fast fashion must be stopped if we are to save our Planet 🌎
People bought 60% more garments in 2014 than in 2000.
#Fashion makes up 10% of humanity’s carbon emissions, dries up water sources & pollutes rivers & streams.
85% is thrown away each year

#plastics In 2016 for the first time there were more @LEGO_Group Figures than real humans on planet Earth. There is now about 9 billion of the little people in our homes - all made of non-biodegradable plastic.
❗️Have your say ❗️
The EU Commission is about to present a new #EUClimateLaw – don’t let fossil fuel companies have the last word!
Here’s how to tell the EU what it needs to do to tackle the #ClimateEmergency

UK Government needs take a long hard look at these figures and then progressively tax flying based on carbon emission to incentives change. They need to invest and subsidies public transport and electric vehicles. All before #COP26
Help to save the planet by:
🗣 Talk about #climatechange
🌱 Switch to vegetarian or vegan diet
⚡️ Switch to renewable energy
♻️ Reduce, reuse & recycle more
🚴🏾 walk/cycle more
🚗 Use an electric/hybrid car
🛬 Stop flying
💵 Divest pension from fossil fuels
✊ Protest
❌ Vote!
As you hear people make this argument again and again, don't forget:
The wealthiest 1% of people emit as much as the poorest 50%.
100 companies are responsible for 71% of all emissions.
Economic justice — not population control — is the solution to climate change.
2019 was a record breaking year:
🔥 The second or third warmest year on record for surface temperature
🔥 The warmest year on record for ocean heat content
🔥 Highest global sea levels and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations

@Strike4Youth I really liked this article today, which i thought broke it down well for people not already involved in activism:

R4 Today programme just followed a piece on climate emergency with a piece cutting on air passenger tax - and, yet again, no cross referencing. 2020 has to be the year we achieve some coherence and integration of thinking
Good news!👍
Fossil fuel🔥 + nuclear☢️ funding excluded from €7.5bn EU #JustTransitionFund to support communities dependent on fossil fuel industry.
For #EUGreenDeal to succeed, this must be expanded to entire €1tr #InvestmentPlan!

It's cheaper to get a return flight from Exeter to Manchester than it is to get the train. But instead of investing in our railways, the government is now cutting air passenger duty.
This is incompatible with our climate targets.

Local authorities are divesting from fossil fuels
The City is waking up to divestment
When will Parliament's pension fund catch up?
