What can we do? No quick fixes, but better oversight of platforms; more training & awareness of female candidates; for media to moderate & drop online conflict & sexist-ridden journalism; and YOU/WE to show solidarity & push back on sexism & hatespeech. #DeleteOnlineGBVKe

[Route to Food @routetofood]

#ToxicPesticides relates to the #RightToFood. To fulfil this right, @PCPB_Kenya should strongly promote good agriculture practices in the amended pest control products law.

Scammers take advantage of the fact that you're already on the phone with them to make it seem like they're verifying your identity. In reality, they're triggering a process that will allow them reset your password and gain access to your online banking account. #ProtectYourMoney

Early this afternoon, California Attorney General @AGRobBonta announced an investigation into the role of petrochemical and plastic companies in the mounting #PlasticsCrisis.

Today I joined @HakiAfrica, Pwani Social Justice Centres' Working Group and hundreds of Mombasa residents to protest the high cost of living in the country. We demanded that the government suspends VAT and PAYE in order to cushion mwananchi from hunger.

There is a growing realization that we can’t produce cheap or highly subsidized food without impacting negatively on our ecosystem and public health which has led to farmers, NGOs, and advocates of sustainability advocating for an agro-ecological approach. #NotSafeNotFood

[Clean Lighting Coalition @Clean_Lighting]

Even when fluorescent bulbs are recycled there is still a massive risk of mercury exposure for workers & the planet. It is time for #California legislators to vote #YesOnAB2208 & phase out mercury ladened fluorescent bulbs: https://t.co/K9TWPX71tD

Being a climate activist is no easy feat. You're driven by an intensity that is borne out of seeing destruction of your community, the rising sea levels, the low rains and the eventual low yield of crops.

In Gambia, this is the intensity that drove Isha, she's become /1

This is what #climatechange looks like in one of South Africa’s tourism hotspots. Sadly, so far 59 people lost their lives in these floods. Countless lost their homes and livelihoods. All the while, SA government wants to build more coal, gas and oil energy.

[350 Africa @350Africa]

There is agreement among scientists that, “#Climatechange fuelled heavier rainfall during a series of storms that battered Southern Africa earlier this year." The #KZNflooding is yet another instance. We can no longer afford to ignore the #ClimateCrisis
