There should be a worldwide ban on trophy hunting such as this. Protect our Mother Earth and her inhabitants!
Why does the world still allow trophy hunting? We've done so much harm already. RT if you think there should be a worldwide ban on this barbaric practice. Nature is amazing. Protect it. #ActOnClimate #climate #TrophyHunting #nature #rewilding #GreenNewDeal #cop15

#Alcohol affects women differently than men. There’s inherent bias & a “head in the sand” approach to holding #BigAlcohol accountable for marketing its products without adequate #consumerprotection in labeling, advertising, & sales. #FASD #NDPAE #womensrights #childrensrights
Alcohol affects women differently than men 🚺🍷 Biological differences in body structure and chemistry lead most women to absorb more alcohol and take longer to metabolize it. Source (@CDCgov 2022): ow.ly/yOhi50LVLRs #alocholandwomen #alcohol #alcoholeffects

I can not even fathom why someone would kill an herbivore as elegant & graceful as a giraffe… and want to put its corpse in their home. Nature is sacred, precious & finite. Protect life in all its forms.

Plant more trees in communities with inter-related species. They will sequester carbon, clean the atmosphere, & communicate with one another to help us create solutions for #ClimateChange.
Did you know trees can talk to eachother? What do you imagine they would say about us? We need to keep forests standing. Nature is Amazing. Protect it. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #Climate #Nature #Deforestation #Forests #rewilding
Extraordinary engineering can create a more sustainable world to respond to the #ClimateCrisis - proactively rather than reactively. How do we make such human endeavors accessible & affordable for all? #ActOnClimate #MaslowsHierarchy #AllLivesMatter
This 100% #solar-powered village never lost power during Hurricane Ian. Thanks to resilient planning and wetlands protection it also did not flood. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #climate #energy #renewables #Cop27 #GreenNewDeal

“Alpha” is from Aldous Huxley’s 1932 Brave New World: bred a dystopian social caste in test tubes & flasks rather than wombs… Added #alcohol into the growth media to make Epsilons & Deltas #FASD for factory workers. Alphas ruled… Betas supported. Gammas were entertained… 🙄
Is there such a thing as "Alpha Females", or is that designation just reserved for miscreant, inadequate males?

This marine reserve in Mexico was almost dead. 19 years later its teeming with life showing the world how we can save the ocean. Time to protect the sacred. We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #climate #energy #savetheoceans #GreenNewDeal

Want a sober reminder of where we are in addressing the climate crisis? Over the last 50 years the oil & gas industry has made $3 billion in profits every day. $52 trillion in pure profit: buff.ly/3v4yiYr Time to unplug fossil fuels. #ActOnClimate #climate #COP27

I grow tired of saying it. So this will be the last time. America wasn’t discovered — it was invaded. Agree? #IndigenousPeoplesDay 🪶 – at Los Angeles, CA

#WTAF? @CDCgov cautions “anyone planning to drive” but not “anyone planning to be pregnant” to avoid #alcohol. Please add: “anyone not using contraception - avoid the neuroteratogenic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, neurotoxic solvent.” bettersafethansorryproject.W… prenatalalcoholexposure.com

We do not inherit the Earth 🌎 from our ancestors, we borrow her from our children… The children are our future and we must protect them at all cost…

So proud of my daughter who confronted disinformation in a “DIY Mom’s Book” by an economist that says it’s ok to drink while pregnant & breastfeeding. It’s no wonder why women are confused about #FASD #NDPAE when irresponsible publishers promote wishful thinking vs. truth.🙄

#Socialfarming #greencare farming provides meaning & purpose to people with #neurodevelopmental issues by integrating them into the gentle rhythms of an organic farm - nature immersion to lower arousal and improve well-being. Win-win: for farming & families!
Great article in Agriland this week highlighting benefits of social farming to farmers and the diversification opportunity it presents @agriculture_ie.@McConalogue ‘Seeing the farm with fresh eyes’: Social farming agriland.ie/farming-news/see… #agriland

If these children were strong enough to survive Christian indoctrination in abusive boarding schools, then white people should be Christian enough — to let their kids learn about it in school. – at Los Angeles, CA
