Fossil fuels are much worse than cigarettes, because they are taking down everyone with them. Removing $ forces change.

We’re #DrowningInPlastic – we produce over 320 million tonnes of plastic globally every year, the same weight as the whole of humanity…

Almost HALF is single-use plastic.

Could you cut single-use plastic from your life?

[Lake County IL Gov @LakeCountyIL]

To celebrate #AmericaRecyclesDay, @swalco created new recycling guidelines for Lake County residents to make it easier for you to determine what can, and what can't be put in curbside recycling bins. https://t.co/UEw0Yy5ZDZ

When it comes to fighting climate change, most thoughts turn to clean energy — from electric vehicles to solar-powered homes. But we often overlook one of the most significant sources of heat-trapping gas emissions: food. https://t.co/hWsidwxxC4

[SDG2AdvocacyHub @SDG2AdvocacyHub]

Using surplus #food to feed those facing #hunger, food banks operate at a community level in multiple countries.

With support from global partners, this model can be scaled to help achieve #SDG2, says new report “State of Global Food Banking” https://t.co/DZhqNvTMET #FoodIsLife

If you live near the fires in CA, know wild animals are fleeing fires & may show up in your yard. Bring your domestic animals in at night & let the wild ones pass through. Put out buckets of water for them - they are scared, exhausted, and have also lost their homes!

Happy Halloween! Don't forget to compost your pumpkin!

Pro tip: Meal planning doesn’t have to mean hours spent with a cookbook. Start with your go-to meals. Repeat them every week or two. Then try something new. More at https://t.co/zqgcc9WFUX

There is no 'away'! 🌊😥

#OceanPlastic isn't caused by litter. It's caused by the whole disposable system.

We need to urge the organisations we work for, & buy from, to do better! 🌍💚@Sail4Seas

Urban agriculture is more than production. It's about food security and reconnecting with what we eat (via @FAO)

[Jack Macy @jack_macy]

Looks like @EPA will no longer consider environmental health impacts, in which case they need a new name. Maybe IPA (Industry Protection Agency)?
