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.

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.

Today is the day we celebrate the amazing planetary systems we’ve got right here on Earth and the amazing achievements of human kind, dedicated to preserving, conserving, and saving the world around us.

The world right now may look grim, but coming from one environmentalist to another, there are so many people building systems for a better future. Don't give up hope!

The Whales That Live In Dying Seas

I built my foundation on tectonic plates

Deep beneath the sea

A story carved us into the stone

Moving us where we need to be

But when tidal waves tear us apart

From the motor in the boat

That burns off the fuel of stars

I must wonder where we went wrong

And find our way back to the start

Bleed upon your land for me

The earth will know where you belong

Your soul will fall into the sea

Where whales will write you into their songs

But if you build your colony

The sirens will find what you love

And lure you in to steal your body

There is no creature that you are above

I live in a home right where

The sand will meet the sea

I walk upon this earth on grass

Where the stars point me to be

And if you put your ear

To the ground you'll hear

She's crying out for you

Because of what you do

An explosion of violins

Erupting from the violence

That we choose to bring here

I hope it fills you up with fear

Cause the jungle's miles of veins

Will tangle us all up

And work itself into our brains

The trees know just what you don't

And what you refuse to obey

Bleed upon your land for me

The earth will know where you belong

Your soul will fall into the sea

Where whales will write you into their songs

But if you build your colony

The sirens will find what you love

And lure you in to steal your body

There is no creature that you are above

If all the water from your tap

Grew thick and turned all black

Would you just what you've done

Or is it till smoke fills up your lungs

You can't separate, you belong to this

You can't escape into the endless abyss

And find another planet to ruin

Bleed upon your land for me

The earth will know where you belong

Your soul will fall into the sea

Where whales will write you into their songs

But if you build your colony

The sirens will find what you love

And lure you in to steal your body

There is no creature that you are above

I did not make this bed for you

So why do I have to lie in it too?

I didn't dig up the fossil fuels we use

Yet the blame is all on us for the earth you abuse

🐢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.

I am once again asking for y’all help.

I recently shared a petition started by the Gullah Geechee coalition in order to stop construction on St. Helena island that would not only displace the Gullah Geechee community but have a detrimental impact on the environment.

Well now a portal has been opened to send emails directly to the Beaufort County Planning Commission, all you have to do is fill out your name, address, and email.

The form will send out a pre-written email, you do NOT have to write anything yourself.

Here is the link.

Killing People AND the Earth

Not only do the bombs destroy the ground and kill thousands of people, but they also send CO2 into the atmosphere, causing our planet to warm up. We need to do something about this.

Hurricane Helene was a major, massive hurricane. The hurricanes are getting worse, picking up an extreme amount of water, and leaving Florida with disaster, death, and destruction.
