This is all I want to do for the rest of my life…

When you wonder (or don’t) about where your plastic trash ends up, it’s in our oceans. The debris gets blown from landfills and public spaces into our waterways that feed into the ocean. This impedes wildlife from living in clean areas. They suffocate from being unable to digest it or eat at all.

We must stop our plastic use. Our oceans are suffering because of human comfort.

Human greed plays a role in EVERY climate catastrophe. Not "natural disasters" - human choices. 🌍 #ClimateJustice

When love is the biggest obstacle. Love this.

In case anyone needed to remember that “He Whakaputanga Moana is the first Declaration recognizing whales as sentient beings (persons) with inherent rights. “Grounded in Te Ao Māori teachings and Polynesian values, the Declaration recognizes whales as both ancestors and sentient beings.”

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

A court just upheld the designation of nearly 160 million acres off the #Alaska coast as critical habitat for imperiled #seals 🦭❄️ We intervened in the case to defend the designation against a challenge and pursued the appeal after Trump chose not to defend the designations. bit.ly/4dKEI5T

Japanese diver Hiroyuki Arakawa still visits Yoriko, a fish he saved almost 30 years ago, and they share a rare and beautiful friendship in the ocean 🥹💙😎

Spring has arrived and Huckleberry and Hawthorne are coming out of torpor! After a long winter of slow time, our rescued grizzly bears are easing back into the season the best way they know how, by stretching out and enjoying some well-earned lounging time. Not a bad way to wake up, if you ask us.

The horrendous cut off of oil to Cuba has taught us one vital thing: true independence comes from sustainable energy sources. The only benefactors of the oil industry are the billionaires. We deserve better, our planet deserves better, and our future deserves better. #StopDrilling #Renewables

“Hallucinating multitudes of tiny people dancing around you while you eat sounds like something out of a fairy tale, but for hundreds of people a year, this is reality.”

In 2015 a pipeline ruptured along California's shore, spilling 450K gallons of crude oil that killed hundreds of marine animals. Now Sable Offshore Corp. wants to restart that same old, defective #pipeline — without making repairs that state regulators say it needs. Take action ➡️ bit.ly/4uryv4M

Good. No concern was given for the impact on other marine species nor for human health. #politas

Who else is grossed out by how many times the word “homeland” is being used in the current house hearing with Kristi Noem?

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland. Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M. America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech. This is what integrity looks like.

My soul yearns for quiet, while my heart yearns to fight the chaos. Torn between collective action and self love, missing the simplicity and complexity of the ocean where life is predictable and measurable by each crashing wave that hits the shore.

A study in Copenhagen finds that 70% of survey participants support removing parking spots to make room for street life, cycling, and vegetation. Sure, Copenhagen is not Los Angeles, but I think planners and electeds in the U.S. overestimate support for street parking

"As the costs of climate disasters climb, UCS's Shana Udvardy appears on the Disaster Zone podcast to discuss the turmoil at FEMA under the Trump administration and its withholding of funds for preparing communities for future disasters caused by flooding, wildfires and hurricanes."

We need to be kinder to humans, the animals, and the Earth. It really is that simple.

I am just going to leave this here. Juarez Mexico is a 4 hour drive from Zorro Ranch. Disappearances started in 1993 and continue to destroy families. The frequency of missing and dead girls created a common term in Mexico: FEMINICIDE (feminicidio). Not one arrest yet. #EpsteinFiles #Justice #DOJ
