Plastic Bag Bans' Impact: Bans in five US states and cities have significantly reduced single-use plastic bag consumption by about 6 billion bags per year, showcasing a successful reduction in plastic waste and pollution.
A billionaire emits a million times more emissions than the average person.
Rich governments, corporations, and individuals most responsible for causing the climate crisis must take responsibility for the damage they've caused.#TaxTheRich#ActOnClimate#climate

Horryfying footage of the scale of the forest fire that hit Alberta last year. 10,000 hectares of trees involved. Alberta just declared the start of this year's fire season—in FEBRUARY! There is nothing normal about what's happening.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate#climate
Globally, there are about 450 cruise ships.
This video from a port in Miami shows the scale of these enormous machines.
There are about 50,000 large ships going around the world.
Think of cruise, containers, tankers, bulk, fishing, RoRo & warships.
These irreplaceable old growth forests continue to be logged across British Columbia. Over 1,200 people have been arrested trying to keep them standing.
There is no time to waste. Protect the Irreplaceable.

Chocolate lovers, beware: The demand for cocoa is causing deforestation in West Africa. Choosing chocolate with the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal supports sustainable farming. #EcoConsciousChocolate
#FastFashion is destroying the planet.
The volumes of clothes being made and consumed continue to increase.
Sharing, repairing and second-hand must become the new normal.
Fast fashion is devastating for the rainforests, consuming vast land for cotton farming and polluting ecosystems. Embracing second-hand shopping and eco-brands can save forests. #SustainableFashion
Rainforests are home to more than half of the world's plant and animal species, this incredible diversity includes numerous species that are not found anywhere else on the planet.
An estimated 25% of all modern medicines are derived from plants found in rainforests, yet less than 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested for medicinal properties. This makes rainforests an invaluable source of potential future pharmaceuticals.
