Absolutely gutted to hear 84% of our planet's coral reefs are bleaching.

That's not just color loss, it's vital habitat disappearing before our eyes.

We CANNOT stand by and watch these underwater cities die. This is a planetary emergency!

Nations at risk of sinking might keep their passports, but who will fight for their rights?

Building #transformer models for #sustainability
isn't about cutting-edge architectures.

It's about building systems that turn environmental insights into operational decisions.

The best model is the one that changes behavior, not the one with the lowest perplexity.

The Changing Markets Foundation found 96% of H&M's #sustainability claims were "unsubstantiated and misleading." Norwegian authorities concluded they were "breaking the law" with #environmental #marketing. Meanwhile, they're sitting on $4.1 billion worth of unsold #clothes used as power plant fuel.

#H&M has invested nearly $1 billion in "sustainability" projects while producing 3 billion garments annually. They spent $100 million on a #recycling machine that processes clothes in 12 years what they manufacture in days. Multiple class-action lawsuits now expose their #greenwashing schemes.

Well said
Outraged and heartbroken by the news of two young people killed last night in DC in a targeted act of antisemitic violence. This is the opposite of advancing justice and peace - it only furthers the violence, pain, and loss - and such hatred must be firmly rejected by all.

Why do we fight? Why do we fight for nature?

It's not just about leaves and wood.
It's about LIFE.

The Bishnoi knew this in 1730, sacrificing theirs for a principle. What's our why today when the forests scream? It's time to find it.

This heat isn't just uncomfortable.
It's threatening our food supply.

We can't keep ignoring how these heatwaves are disrupting what ends up on our tables.

We either need to change how we grow our food, or we'll face some serious consequences.

This is something we all need to care about.
