Climate strike week 238. STOP COP CITY | DEFEND THE FOREST EVERYWHERE ✊❤️‍🔥🙏🌎✊ “New Yorkers demand Chase terminate all associations with police foundations, and condemn the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center project #StopCopCity. Chase has a long history of racist business activities: In 2011, it gave $4.6 mil to militarize the NYPD; former and current employees treated poorly because of the color of their skin, customers from marginalized communities denied service at branches and are given limited access to credit. Chase is the largest financier of fossil fuels in the world. Chase continues to fund fossil fuel expansion proiects that devastate the environment and violate human rights, particularly Indigenous Rights From Lenapehoking to the Weelaunee Forest, we stand in solidarity with forest defenders. We must hold the major corporations that are funding #StopCopCity to account. • Read the open letter to Chase.

“Loss and Damage”

South Sudan has been plagued by political violence and instability since its independence from Sudan in 2011. Now it is experiencing massive floods for the fourth consecutive year. Since 2019, unprecedented rainy seasons have submerged large parts of the country’s landscape. 

Heavy rains and floods have swept away people’s homes, properties, crops, livestock, schools and healthcare centres, and caused extensive infrastructural damage to roads and bridges. 

The climate crisis is bringing further challenges to this already vulnerable country.

Scientists now predict the Earth has a 66 percent chance of hitting 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming over pre-industrial levels between now and 2027—and a 98 percent chance of the five-year period as a whole being the hottest on record. 1.5 degrees Celsius is a key climate threshold 🌡

Friendly reminder that the whole “your personal carbon footprint” was made up by an oil company to gaslight you.

Don’t listen to the big corporations, boycott and harass politicians to make a difference in our battle with climate change.

Global warming

Global warming is the long-term warming of the planet's overall temperature. Though this warming trend has been going on for a long time, its pace has significantly increased in the last hundred years due to the burning of fossil fuels. As the human population has increased, so has the volume of fossil fuels burned.

How Can We Prevent Climate Grief?

Preventing or mitigating climate grief, also known as eco-anxiety or climate-related psychological distress, is a growing concern as the impacts of climate change become more apparent. Mental health support, such as counseling through platforms like TalkToAngel, can play a significant role in addressing these feelings. Here are some strategies to prevent climate grief and how counseling services can assist:

1. Climate Education and Awareness:

Knowledge is power. Understanding climate change, its causes, and its potential solutions can help individuals feel more empowered and less helpless. Mental health professionals can provide guidance on where to find reliable information and resources.

2. Take Positive Action:

Actively engaging in climate-friendly activities can provide a sense of purpose and control. Counselors can help individuals identify ways to reduce their carbon footprint and get involved in environmental initiatives.

3. Emotional Expression:

Talking about climate-related concerns and feelings is essential. Counselors can create a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to express their emotions, whether it’s fear, grief, anger, or frustration.

4. Mindfulness and Coping Techniques:

“Online Counselor” can teach mindfulness and relaxation techniques to manage stress and anxiety related to climate change. These practices can help individuals stay grounded and reduce overwhelming emotions.

5. Eco-Therapy:

Some therapists specialize in eco-therapy, which involves outdoor activities and nature-based interventions to promote mental well-being. Being in nature can help alleviate eco-anxiety.

Overcoming the Plastic Waste Crisis - A Multifaceted Approach Needed to Drive Change

The plastic waste crisis has escalated to a critical level, with an overwhelming amount of waste accumulating in our oceans, landfills, and ecosystems. The consequences of our dependence on plastics are becoming increasingly evident, impacting not only the environment but also public health, biodiversity, climate change, and human rights. Despite the urgency of the situation, many companies have been slow to take action. Consequently, a coalition of investors, managing $10tn in assets, is urging major companies like The Coca-Cola Company, Unilever, Amazon, PepsiCo, and McDonald's to take "urgent action" and significantly reduce their plastic footprint.

While investor pressure is undeniably essential in combatting plastic waste, it represents only one aspect of a comprehensive, long-term solution. To encourage companies to take more action on tackling plastic waste, we must first identify the underlying factors contributing to this crisis and implement multifaceted strategies that focus on several key areas where change can make a significant impact.

Firstly, governments should establish a robust regulatory framework by implementing stricter regulations and guidelines to limit plastic production and consumption. Enforcing these rules will compel companies to seek sustainable alternatives and reduce their reliance on single-use plastics. Furthermore, governments should incentivise research and development of eco-friendly materials and packaging solutions.

Secondly, investors and financial institutions should continue using their influence to encourage companies to adopt sustainable business models. By withholding investments or offering financial incentives, such as lower interest rates for companies with strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, they can guide businesses towards reducing their plastic footprint.

Thirdly, the power of consumer choice is a force that should not be underestimated. Raising awareness of the plastic waste crisis and encouraging consumers to vote with their wallets will make companies more inclined to adopt environmentally friendly practices. Social media campaigns, educational initiatives, and grassroots movements can play a crucial role in shifting public opinion and consumer behaviour.

Fourthly, companies should be encouraged to adopt a circular economy model, which emphasises reducing material consumption, reusing and recycling resources, and minimising waste. By doing so, they can lessen their environmental impact and create a more sustainable future.

Lastly, transparency and accountability are paramount. Companies must be open about their plastic usage and waste management strategies, enabling consumers and investors to hold them accountable for their actions. This can be achieved through regular reporting, third-party audits, and public commitments to reduce plastic waste.

In conclusion, the responsibility to address the plastic waste crisis lies with all stakeholders, including governments, investors, companies, and consumers. By working together and adopting a multifaceted approach, we can encourage companies to make significant strides in reducing their plastic footprint, paving the way for a more sustainable world for future generations.
