One of my maybe unpopular opinions: I think golfing involves an unethical use of land and I don’t like people who golf.

💙🦈 WORLD SHARK AWARENESS DAY!! 💙🦈

Did you know??

Sharks, one of our planet’s oldest species with fossils dating back over 400 million years, have played a pivotal role in marine ecosystems far longer than we have existed on Earth.

Deemed a keystone species, sharks exert such a profound influence on their habitats that their absence would dramatically alter the entire ecosystem. As apex predators, they stand at the pinnacle of the food chain, crucially maintaining the balance of marine life by regulating prey populations. Sharks control species abundance, distribution, and diversity, which reciprocally affects the health of marine habitats.

Organizations worldwide, like the Shark Conservation Fund, are striving to protect sharks directly. Others, such as Blue Ventures and Saving the Blue, indirectly work towards their protection by safeguarding marine habitats and engaging coastal communities.

Topsoil is the foundation of healthy farming and food production, but it’s being lost at alarming rates❗️

Adding compost to the surface of our soils is one way we can increase organic matter (OM) and help rebuild this precious layer. ✨️

But let’s be real: rebuilding topsoil takes time and consistent care. It’s not a quick fix.

Compost enriches the soil, feeds microbes, and improves water retention—laying the groundwork for healthier, more productive land over the long term. 🌳🌻

Every bit of compost we add is a step toward healthier soils and more resilient farms. 🌍

🌞 Let’s work with nature, not against it.

URGENT!

Right now, House Democrats, led by Representatives Raúl Grijalva and Frank Pallone, Jr., are calling on President Biden to block all new offshore drilling plans. This is a pivotal moment and a chance to achieve real progress—We must amplify this call with grassroots pressure.

Representative Grijalva has been a tireless champion for environmental justice and climate action throughout his career, especially in his leadership as Ranking Member of the Natural Resources Committee.

As he prepares to retire from that role, one of his final requests to President Biden is crystal clear: stop expanding offshore oil and gas drilling. We can honor his leadership and protect our planet by making our voices heard today.

The science is undeniable. More drilling means more climate pollution, more devastating oil spills, and further harm to the frontline communities that bear the brunt of fossil fuel expansion.

If the administration is serious about its climate commitments, they must end new offshore drilling leases in all U.S. waters—not expand them.

We need to show the White House that there is support for this action–and time is running out. Every call matters.

By taking two minutes to pick up the phone, you’re helping show the administration that the public is watching and demanding climate action.

Tell the White House to stop offshore drilling!

Why is oil drilling bad?

According to what we can find it says that "Oil drilling is generally considered bad for the environment due to the potential for significant negative impacts like oil spills, air and water pollution, disruption of ecosystems, and contribution to climate change, although it does provide a vital energy source for many societies; therefore, most experts would say it is bad overall."

It is also said to be bad due to the current social economic collapse.

[ID: "Epic handshake" meme of two muscular arms locked in a firm handshake, one with the caption "Plastic straws are the issue", the other "Synthetic leather is the issue". Where their hands are clamped together it reads "Meat-eaters not wanting to face the fact that the number 1 issue affecting animals is whether or not they get farmed & eaten and if their (and our) habitats get destroyed by fishing, farming and related industries" /end ID]

The best way to save animals (including humans) from harm, protect the environment, reduce pollution, fight back against the climate crisis & reduce plastic use is to drastically decrease the production & consumption of all animal products including fish & leather. The evidence on this is clear, while evidence supporting the notion that non-plastic straws and real hide leather are superior choices with a big enough positive impact to justify the amount of hype surrounding them is not.

"In the oceans, fishing nets, are among the most prevalent form of plastic pollution. One study published in 2018 found that 46% of the 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic estimated to be in the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch came from fishing nets." - BBC: Plastic or paper? The truth about drinking straws

"A significant reduction in meat consumption is essential to mitigate climate change..." - Wikipedia: Environmental impacts of animal agriculture

Please, we need your help. The willow project is a project being viewed by the President in this moment, the plan is to sell ALASKA and its land, homes, and WILDLIFE for oil drilling. The project will produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day, according to the company — about 1.5% of total U.S. oil production. But in Alaska, Willow represents the biggest oil field in decades. What’s the problem with that? Project opponents point to its potential impact on global climate change. Environmental impact documents conclude that if the oil produced by Willow is burned, it would create 260 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. Exposure to CO2 can produce a variety of health effects. These may include headaches, dizziness, restlessness, a tingling or pins or needles feeling, difficulty breathing, sweating, tiredness, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, coma, asphyxia, various cancers, and convulsions. Once the plan is approved, climate change will be irreversible and unfixable no matter the effort. But the only way we can stop this is if 189 more environmentalists and citizens like you sign our petition before it's too late. We only have one month left before it’s approved, without your help- the human race will suffer more than it ever has. Don’t let old white men in the government decide the fate of generations, and centuries of human history and cellular evolution. I’m asking you not as a fellow american citizen, but as a human being- take a few minutes to end the end from consuming life as we know it.

Plz reblog so we can get as many signatures as possible!!

The Mojave Desert is a beautiful and fragile ecosystem that is home to a variety of plants and animals, including the desert tortoise. Here are a few things we can do to keep it this way:

- Stay on the trails. This helps to protect the plants and animals that live in the desert. - Pack out what you pack in. This includes trash, food scraps, water bottles, etc. - Don't disturb wildlife. This means keeping your distance from animals and not feeding them.

🐢Daily Sea Turtle Fact:🐢

Leatherback Sea Turtle (lovingly referred to as the watermelon sea turtle 'by me'🫶🏼): The leatherback sea turtle is the largest turtle in the world, measuring up to 6ft in length and weighing between 750 - 1,000lbs. Named for their tough rubbery skin, they are the only species of sea turtle that lack scales and a hard shell, and have existed in their current form since the age of the dinosaurs. They are also accomplished divers with the deepest recorded dive reaching nearly 4,000 feet—deeper than most marine mammals.

🌍 Soil: The Planet’s Biggest Carbon Sink 🌍

Did you know soil holds more carbon than the atmosphere and all plant life combined?

That’s over 2,300 billion tons quietly stored beneath our feet!

By keeping soils healthy through practices like cover cropping and no-till farming, we can preserve this natural carbon sink and support a more sustainable future.

Healthy soil, healthy planet. Let’s dig into solutions! 🌱
