Truly profound. An ecosystem in balance can re-pattern our relationship with the planet - and ourselves.

It’s my hope that the truth of our history travels the world over. It should continue to dominate international headlines.
When archaeologists detected what they believed to be 200 unmarked graves at an old Canadian school, it brought attention to one of the most shameful eras of Canada’s history. Sunday, @andersoncooper reports on residential schools where over 150,000 indigenous children were sent.

I hope you will read this thread.
The same week as Williams Lake First Nation announced the discovery of 93 potential unmarked graves at the site of the St Joseph's Mission School, a number of articles have been circulating questioning the nature and validity of these and other recovery efforts. #cdnpoli

On the 1 year anniversary of the @MMIWG final report: Take a moment to thank the thousands of survivors, families, Elders, community members who came forward to share their stories. So many families shared their deepest pain and asked for justice.

This is an urgent call to Canadian businesses. Frontline medical workers need protection. If your business has extra N95 face masks, safety glasses, sanitized goggles, isolation gowns or coveralls, sanitizer or latex, nitrile or vinyl gloves, contact local medical authorities.
Adding bench strength to our sustainability team. We know how to move green projects!
