Food companies must act now to save the Amazon. In @themightyglenn.bsky.social's FT Sustainable Views piece, he comments on traders abandoning the ASM: "If chief executives want their legacy to be something other than capitulation to the destroyers of nature, they need to finally stand up for it."

What do Stop & Shop, Food Lion, and Giant all have in common? These groceries are doing almost nothing to reduce methane emissions—even though their parent company, Ahold Delhaize, has committed to net-zero. Read our report to learn more. ➡️ http://mightyearth.org/StopMethane/

The meat and soy industry is unleashing a wave of deforestation on the Amazon rainforest by sabotaging its own success. Companies like McDonald’s, Carrefour, Tesco and Sainsbury’s that rely on the Amazon Soy Moratorium need to fight for it.

“It’s hard to justify this project from any perspective... environmental & the wellbeing of local communities.” Mighty Earth themightyglenn.bsky.social quoted in Financial Times on the state-backed, military-led deforestation fast tracked on Papua, Indonesia to develop rice & sugarcane plantations.

Methane emissions are 86x powerful than CO2 over 20 years. It’s time for Ahold Delhaize USA to unmask their methane emissions and come up with a plan to reduce them. So we wanted to ensure we unmasked the truth right by the company’s headquarters. ➡️ https://mightyearth.org/StopMethane/

Any project in Batang Toru, whether mining, hydro power or plantation agriculture, needs to remain on hold while a comprehensive plan is put together to protect this ecosystem and the people and wildlife that live there.

Our campaign to fight the meat industry means that we’re protecting nature and the wonders that live and breathe in it, including jaguars. Today on #InternationalJaguarDay, we celebrate the majestic big cats that roam Brazil’s Amazon and Pantanal wetlands and continue to fight to protect their home.

McDonald’s emissions have been trending upwards since 2019. With a menu filled with high-emitting items & a tireless expansion strategy, McD’s will keep polluting our climate. Unless it embraces innovation & invests in plant-based alternatives. ➡️ https://mightyearth.org/article/mcmethane-burgers/

ICYMI: Marfrig, the world’s 2nd-largest beef producer, will become the first major beef company to disclose its Scope 3 methane emissions. The company also announced a methane reduction target that, if achieved, would be the equivalent of taking 1.17 million gas-powered cars off the road for a year.

Fast food’s climate divide:
🌱 #BurgerKing & #Subway are expanding plant-based menus.
🍔 #McDonalds? We can’t say the same. Also, no methane target and no disclosure.

Without methane data or meat reduction goals, the world’s most famous burger hides a giant climate problem.

Catamounts once roamed widely throughout the forests of the Northeast US. Their continued absence leaves a critical void in the region’s ecology and cultural identity. That’s why we’re working to return catamounts to their rightful home. Join us:

Catamounts were once a vital part of Vermont’s natural heritage — a symbol of the wild, resilient spirit that helped shape this state.
