The Earth that we’re meant to honor on Earth Day is in far worse trouble than anyone could have predicted 55 years ago. In today’s daily newsletter, Bill McKibben writes about the failure—and hope—of Earth Day.

An Animal Protection Election Debate was held on Zoom today. Four of our political parties' candidates participated.
Guess who did not?
The Conservatives. No surprise.
If animal welfare matters to you, you know now who doesn't give a damn.

Found baby bunnies? 🐰 Mom feeds between dusk & dawn—nests are usually not abandoned. Use a blue box to protect nests from pets (remove at dusk). Solo bunnies with fur and upright ears are likely independent. Call #Salthaven at 519-264-2440 if unsure. #wildlife #babybunnies #ontario #wildliferehab
