Fossil fuel companies are amoral, greedy organizations which have caused untold damage to our planet.  They continue their destructive ways in order to make even more money at the expense of the world’s people and its environment.  

Tax these low-life scumbags out of existence.  Nationalize the fossil fuel industry now.

During lockdown deforestation in the Amazon rose by 64%

Satellite imagery by space research agency INPE showed a stark surge in deforestation this past April 2020 during the coronavirus outbreak—a 64% increase in comparison to last year. Overall, since the beginning of 2020 the Amazon has endured a 55% increase in deforestation compared to last year. Lest we forget 2019 was already the worst year for the world’s largest living ecosystem—reaching record numbers. Environmentalists worldwide scramble to highlight the importance of conserving the Amazon, knowing it has most likely already reached its tipping point. However, let’s not lose hope yet.

The reason for the surge?

The reason is two-fold. Firstly, the right-wing policies of Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro encourage miners and farmers into the region. Bolsonaro claims that the only way to lift Amazonia from poverty is through development. Political support has sparked interest in the region, with new waves of immigrants flocking to the area. Secondly, Brazil’s environmental agency: Ibama, has been sending fewer field agents during the coronavirus outbreak that usually patrol the areas.

“Barreto and other environmentalists, including Greenpeace, said the surge was already underway last year due to government steps that encouraged illegal logging, in particular a decree now before Congress that could give title to land grabbers who invaded public and indigenous lands.” - Reuters

No Forest, No Future

The Amazon Rainforest is the world’s mother rainforest. She produces RAIN for the continent, just think about it for a minute. Destroying this rainforest means destroying our entire rain cycle which will have dire consequences on the world’s food system to say the least. That’s not all, the Amazon is millions of years old, hosting unparalleled biodiversity, an attribute that helps us to this day discover new medicines and proudly claim that we live in a biodiverse planet. This should also make us realize that it is not easily replanted. It took 55 million years for the Amazon to get to the point at which it is today.

I AM AMAZONIA

In a decade where politicians pledge to “plant more trees” should we not strive to protect existing forests instead? When the world’s Sixth Mass Extinction is underway, shouldn’t we conserve the most biodiverse habitat that blesses our Earth? Yes these are bold and pretty obvious questions…So in the meantime join The Resistance.

A force of people who are genuinely worried about the Brazilian government’s shortcomings and the current mining crusade in the forest. Based worldwide The Resistance aims to provide assistance to Brazil’s mightiest fighters. From legal assistance to worldwide campaigning and financial support. Join here.

I'm grasping for an accurate caption for this picture as I get overwhelmed each time. So I'll stick to the facts: - We are in a mass extinction. - Global warming is already at 1.1 degree. - We are fucking up our planet and I want it to stop. #extinctionrebellion #sixthmassextinction #tellthetruth https://www.instagram.com/p/B3t0shvAHg-/?igshid=in64ztr49xbr

🙏🏾 Praying for all our reggae family in Australia. 🇦🇺 💦 Big up all the people that have gone down under to help fight the fires. As of Thursday morning there were close to 150 different fires burning across New South Wales, reports say. Many of them are burning in remote, sparsely populated areas. Clearly this is not the work of pyromaniacs. “The majority of these bush fires have been generated by lightning 🌩 strikes associated with weather and climate effects.” Dale- Dominey-Howes, a professor of hazard and disaster risk sciences, at the University of Sydney told Huffington Post. #climatechange 🙏🏾 #wildlife #Sydney #NewSouthWales . . . . . #austrailia #wildfire #waterislife #prayforaustralia #reggaefam #1love❤️💚💛👆👆🙌🙌 #reggae #sixthmassextinction #prayer #RootsReggaeHub #givethanks (at Palm Beach, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7H79FbnPpc/?igshid=1gqc2qaa4of4l

An article from 2007 which gives an overview of the devastation and horror we’ll face if we don’t stop using fossil fuels.  

Where no refuge is available, civil war and a collapse into racial or communal conflict seems the likely outcome. Isolated survivalism, however, may be as impracticable as dialling for room service. How many of us could really trap or kill enough game to feed a family? Even if large numbers of people did successfully manage to fan out into the countryside, wildlife populations would quickly dwindle under the pressure. Supporting a hunter-gatherer lifestyle takes 10 to 100 times the land per person that a settled agricultural community needs. A large-scale resort to survivalism would turn into a further disaster for biodiversity as hungry humans killed and ate anything that moved. Including, perhaps, each other. Invaders do not take kindly to residents denying them food. History suggests that if a stockpile is discovered, the householder and his family may be tortured and killed. Look for comparison to the experience of present-day Somalia, Sudan or Burundi, where conflicts over scarce land and food are at the root of lingering tribal wars and state collapse.

The Statue of Liberty in New York will be gone and so will the city.  

Cities and towns around the world will be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels and mega-storms.  Saltwater will penetrate deeply into continents destroying the few fresh water supplies remaining.  Heat domes will linger for months with countless thousands killed by the intense heat, torrential rivers of precipitation will create flooding so severe it will erase the places and the people who live there, and billions will die from starvation.  

Greed, selfishness and the reckless pursuit of profits over people is killing planet Earth and all of us along with it.

UPDATES FROM UNIST'OT'EN

‘What’s been happening at the Healing Centre?

The Unist’ot’en Clan and the employees and volunteers at the Healing Centre had six successful land-based healing programs over the winter and spring, welcoming Wet’suwet’en people in need of treatment and healing from substance use and the trauma of colonization. The Healing Centre, with its remote location, offers a unique healing environment, allowing participants to enjoy the outdoors, go hiking or snowshoeing, take part in the sacred waters of the Wedzin Kwah, and otherwise be free to exist in a way that is impossible and unsafe in an urban rehabilitation clinic. At Unist’ot’en, participants are also able to engage in programming with their spouses and families, where as in other rehab spaces, participants are separated from their families and forced to heal alone.

The FNHA held a weeklong program at the Centre in June, with participants taking part in a Psychological First Aid Training and sharing powerful traditional knowledge from across nations. We hope to have them back and are grateful for their support of our work and space! What a pleasure to have you with us.

The annual Summer Work Party in June focused on Fire Prevention and Safety, with participants coming from all over Turtle Island and beyond, including New York, Washington, Montreal, and Germany. We cleaned up dry brush from all across the grounds, planted an herb and vegetable garden, and created connections and lasting friendships with both new and returning supporters.

Want to be a part of our Healing Revolution?

Come to our August Work Party!

We would love to have you join us in August. Come for as little as a week, or come early and stay late! We welcome visitors year round, but Work Party is the only time new supporters can come for less than two weeks.

But will I be helpful?

Yes, you will be! All skillsets are needed, but especially: Chainsaw operators, construction tradespeople, cooks, cleaners and organizers, gardeners, medics, fire fighters, drone operators, and people who love to get their hands dirty with hard work. Drivers are also needed, so if you have a reliable vehicle but only a few days to spare or are unable to stay at camp for long, please consider becoming a driver to get much needed supplies and people from Vancouver to Houston, BC.

What happens at Work Party?

We have structured days with three excellent meals and free time each evening for card games, hiking, and swimming in the clean river, just downstream from where we get our excellent drinking water. There is a set schedule for a morning meeting where we decide on our projects for the day and check in with each other about our capacities, then there are set times for meals, with projects happening between them. There are medics on site, snacks and drinks provided all day, tenting under the stars, hot showers a couple of times a week, laundry available once every ten days, and plenty of opportunity to get to know your fellow volunteers, the land, and the Unist’ot’en clan.

What’s happening with the Pipeline? Will I get arrested?

There is no active blockade on Unist’ot’en territory, and unfortunately the pipeline is still forcing its way through despite our clear and obvious lack of consent. Traffic from the construction still drives past our Healing Centre and disrupts our peace, but the chance of being arrested at camp is essentially the same as that of being in the city. By participating in helping to keep the Healing Centre operational, you are helping to preserve what few considerations are being taken by the province and industry. As long as the Healing Centre is in place, the river will be protected and her people will be able to continue to access desperately needed programming.

Okay, I want to come! What next?

Before applying to come to camp, please read the preparing for your visit page on our website and pay particular attention to the consent guidelines and guidelines for behaviour. Behaviour going against our guidelines will not be tolerated.

After reading the above page, we welcome you to register here! Please tell your friends and share with your community. The river needs you!’

This year, while I was in Peru, I went back to the beloved @wayqecha Biological Station and to a site where I normally found a good number of Gastrotheca excubitor marsupial frogs. This in the image is the only one I found, dead under the rock it called home. The cause of death is most probably the chytrid fungus which affects the high altitudes populations of Amphibians in the Andes, including this species. I truly hope it was just “lack of luck” and not a symptom of something turning really bad for these frogs. #frog #chytrid #amphibian #extinction #conservation #gastrotheca #herpetology #death #fungus #pathogen #sixthmassextinction @ilcp_photographers @conservacionamazonica @amazonconservation https://www.instagram.com/p/B4AIzkyqjyU/?igshid=1u40n50eann3a

This is Helio. It’s a stuffed animal giraffe that is one of my favorite characters. I’ve been slightly obsessed with sewing lately (sorry guys, I’m not gay yet) Anyways - when your working with fabric, It’s amazing how the fibers take over the whole damn studio. It was overwhelming at first. I think AJ solves the problem for now though. I keep every piece of thread, fiber, shred, strip, and particle i produce and organize it in bags - you’ll see the 3rd picture is my “Giraffe Hair” bag. So I’m gonna sew this guy using the textile remnants... and everything that I that remains I will use as stuffing. Then I’ll tell the story. - #nowaste #fiberart #giraffestuffedanimal #sixthmassextinction #nature #voicefortheplanet #climatechange #climatecrisis #globalwarming #6thmassextinction #carbonemissionreduction #makefashioncircular #ecofashion #lesswaste #lessismore #lowimpact #biodegradable #sustainablebusiness  #sustainableliving  #styledsustainably  #newsustainabledesign #slowfashionmovement  #slowfashion  #liveconsciously #theartofslowliving  #slowmovement (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8y7btdFWf9/?igshid=18o65j8sy7fah
