Forests stabilize climate better than ANY tech we've invented. And protecting an existing forest stores 8-12x more carbon than planting a new one. We don't need to invent the future. We need to protect it. 🌲

We don't lack solutions. We lack accountability. We have solar. They invest in oil. We have conservation. They have deforestation contracts. We have climate science. They have PR firms to deny it. Name the system. #ClimateJustice

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Lots of good news today for Dems. Don’t get complacent. Check your registration. Go vote - early if you can. Let’s win this fucking thing.

Environmental sustainability means living like we have only ONE Earth — because we do. It’s using resources at the rate nature can replenish them. Not next year. Not for our grandkids. For us, right now. #Sustainability #ActOnClimate

50% of modern medicines come from plants. 70% of cancer treatments come from nature. The Amazon holds 10% of all life on Earth. We've studied <1% of it for medicine. We are cutting down cures faster than we can discover them. Every forest cleared = A cure lost.

Obama on CSPAN : “Even when I was president, I sometimes fantasised about, if you put women in charge of every government for like two years and then just kind of saw, all right, how are things going?

We should all be disgusted of the White House Press Corp. No one walked out No one told Trumpy to go fuck himself. No one said mean things to Trumpy after he chopped down another pillar of American Democracy. No one asked for proof any of them published 'fake news'. No one did anything. Sad.

Hey mainstream media outlets! How about you boycott the White House? If nobody shows up to cover the news…. He would literally go out of his mind. He can’t live without attention. Maybe we stop giving it to him because everything he says are lies anyway.

We don’t need more reports telling us the house is on fire. We need leaders who turn off the gas, fund the firefighters, and protect the most vulnerable. Science is done. Now comes the politics of survival. #ClimateAction

Eric Idle, Mark Hamill & Harrison Ford in 1979. Whilst filming ‘The Empire Strikes Back’, Carrie Fisher rented Eric’s apartment while he was in Tunisia filming ‘The Life of Brian’. They were partying there when Eric happened to drop in. (The Rolling Stones turned up later)

One tree can absorb 22kg of CO2 per year and cool a city by 2-8°C. We cut 15 BILLION trees every year. We are cutting our own air conditioning. #StopDeforestation

Mitch McConnell's medical team says, after 85 days of being out of sight, that he is "still having issues with breathing." This is a very common side effect to not being alive.

Presidency alone not enough in a democracy! + it’s clear Is essential to support + ensure Dems gain majorities + seats in all places to enact effective changes for future! Especially when one party in a 2-party system has so clearly turned their back on democracy! #VoteBlueUpandDownBallot

The Earth doesn’t need saving. We do. She will continue without us. The real question is: will we still be here to witness her beauty? #SaveThePlanet #ClimateEmergency
