This is a statement we need to hear more of in the near future.

Every film with a gun in it is a validation of the culture of armed defence. The NRA must love Hollywood.

Watching another film from the late 1980s and marvelling at how its portrayal of a US president - calm, authoritative, ethical - diverges so much from the reality of today.

Our Forest for Change project is not only a catalyst for clean air, biodiversity and climate action but is also the perfect spot in our urban environment to cool down on a hot day. #cleanair #islington #heatwave

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Humans are so thoughtlessly giving…
Happy World Ocean Day!
The ocean is the heart of our life support system, without which we'd all be dead. It's taken up >90% of the heat from global warming and 25% of our CO₂ emissions. In return, we give it 11 million tonnes of plastic annually, which animals ingest and also become entangled in.

Oceans Awash in Plastic Waste
On a day that many might be headed to the beach, take a moment to consider some of the widespread impacts of all of that plastic, and the ongoing efforts to clean it up.

A doctor has been serving one of Baltimore’s poorest neighborhoods for decades — and if his patients can’t pay, that’s OK with him.
So when he was diagnosed with cancer, his community rallied to raise $100,000 for his treatments.
