In the 80s and 90s, road trips meant scrubbing smashed bugs off the windshield and grill. Today? Barely a splatter. Insects are disappearing. Ecosystems are collapsing. And we’re the cause. Wake up.

This decision is a significant setback for #Greenpeace, the #ClimateAction movement, and Indigenous rights in the U.S. It could spell the end for Greenpeace. Energy Transfer violated UNDRIP's mandate for free, prior, and informed consent on Indigenous lands at the Sioux #StandingRock Reservation.

I was surprised to learn that linoleum is far better for the environment than engineered hardwood. It’s made from natural, renewable materials like linseed oil, cork dust, wood flour, and natural resins. It is biodegradable and can decompose without releasing harmful toxins. #sustainability

I swear there was another president in here somewhere but can’t quite put my finger on it. Anyone remember his name?

Well, now we know why all the tech bros were at the inauguration and why Trump declared an energy emergency. The USA will invest $500 billion into #StargateAI

What are your thoughts on Mark Carney? I spent the afternoon listening to podcasts and reading articles about him. I'm glad he addresses climate and sustainability directly; they seem to be a central aspect of his campaign and economic plan for the country.

I thought Trump was anti-war. Yet today, he said he would declare war through military and economic means on several sovereign nations, including Canada, Greenland and Panama.

What a great victory for our planet. Vancouver city council voted to keep the ban on Methane (Natural) Gas in new homes and buildings in the city.

Check out this powerful documentary about Tea Creek farm in Gitxsan territory. It explores the impact of colonialism on Indigenous food sovereignty and how they are restoring it by educating Indigenous people from across Turtle Island. #teacreek #teacreeksaveslives #foodsovereignty #climateaction

Every time I see ads like this, I think that while some may try to sneak on transit, most people ticketed just can’t afford the fare let alone the fine. Should we penalize those trying to get to work or from point A to B? Isn’t this targeting the most vulnerable? We need to make transit fares fair.
