Sensors registered a 5.2 earthquake in the Himalayas. But no fault line moved. A glacier broke off Langtang Lirung, falling a kilometer into the valley. 16 minutes later, 2 villages were gone. 350+ dead. 1,500+ missing. Climate change isn't just a slow melt. It's a collapse.

We can't keep scrolling past reality. The last 18 months brought $61B LA fires, 185mph hurricanes, and a heat dome trapping 70M people. The planet is flashing red. 🚨 This is our 2026 reality. Don't look away. Demand action NOW. Link in bio. 🌍🔥

🚨 In April 2026, the IUCN officially declared Emperor Penguins ENDANGERED. 10,000 chicks perished in one region when sea ice melted before they grew waterproof feathers. Without emissions cuts, 90% of colonies face extinction. We must act. 🌍

If we stopped eating meat, we could reduce the land we use for agriculture by 75%. That's 31.3 million sq km, or 12.08 million sq mi. An area larger than all of Africa, or about four of the contiguous US.

Earth Day isn’t about being perfect. It’s easy to feel like you’re not doing enough.
Like your small choices don’t matter. But real change doesn’t come from a few people doing everything perfectly. It comes from millions of people doing something.

We’ve all heard: “Just recycle it.” So we rinse, sort, try. But only ~9% of plastic has ever been recycled—while production kept rising. Not about blame. What works:
Reduce > Reuse > Recycle Progress > perfection. What plastic do you use most?

You think throwing food away is harmless. It’s not. Landfills choke food of oxygen → it rots → releases methane (80x stronger than CO₂). Your trash is heating the planet.

Cargo ships used to run on wind. Then engines replaced sails and shipping became one of the most fossil-fuel dependent industries on Earth. Now a French startup is bringing wind back with 200-foot sails and a cargo ship that could cut emissions by up to 90%. Here’s how 🧵

If the planet is warming, why do we still get extreme cold snaps? It seems backwards. But this is actually one of the clearest signs our climate is changing.

Suburbia doesn’t have to mean lawns, runoff, and isolation. It could mean: Native plants instead of grass Food you can share Water that stays clean Energy made at home Compost as a commons This vision feels radical only because we normalized the opposite. Art by @joan_de_art

Recent U.S. Federal government actions have slowed climate progress, from reduced renewable energy support to weakened international commitments. Real examples. Real consequences. Swipe to learn more. 🌱 Source: The White House, The Guardian #ClimatePolicy #trump #government

Top climate problems→ • Fossil fuels: 38.1B tonnes CO₂ in 2025 drive warming • Politicization: Slows action as risks ⬆️ • Biodiversity loss: Weakens ecosystems that support food & climate • Plastic pollution: Harms oceans, wildlife & land • Deforestation: Cuts carbon sinks
