Fossil-fueled #HurricaneMelissa devastated Jamaica last month, damaging homes and schools and impacting at least 90,000 families “direly” – leaving many struggling to find housing.

When it comes to climate change, methane is a notorious super-polluter.

And LNG, which stands for liquefied "natural gas", is primarily made up of...you guessed it...methane. 😷
Can methane cuts pull us back from the brink of climate breakdown?
With temperatures breaching the Paris limit, experts say tackling the powerful gas could buy crucial time as the clean-energy shift stalls

States and local governments MUST be able to protect their residents from billionaires and AI companies that more often than not show no regard for the impacts their data centers and end products have on everyday people.

We’re just going to say it: this Vancouver community is AMAZING.

When we found out about Mayor Sim’s austerity budget and sneaky plan to pass it, we weren’t sure we could respond effectively in time.

Turns out, we didn’t need to worry. 🧵

Trans people deserve safety, dignity, and joy.

Today we remember those we’ve lost and recommit to fighting for those who are here.

Stand up, speak out, and show your support.

Trans rights are human rights — say it, mean it, and back it with action.

That’s… a lot of water.

As a society, we need to have a real conversation about if this is how we want to spend our finite resources – especially as water gets scarcer due to our warming climate.

Canada’s climate hypocrisy was front and centre at #COP30 today.

Both on the front page of the daily Eco newsletter in the morning and later in the day when Canada had the dishonour of being named Fossil of the Day — an "achievement" not awarded to Canada at COP in over a decade.
