Did you know that an estimated 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted globally each year? Or that this is one of the largest contributors to global climate change?
We must work together and find new strategies for how to reduce #foodwaste.

We’ve already emitted 89% of the CO2 budget that gives us a 66% chance of staying below 1,5°C. That’s why historic emissions not only count - they nearly make up the entire climate crisis. And yet they’re still being almost completely ignored by media and people in power.

#Nature is sending us invoices: shaving digits of GDP, increasing poverty & bringing misery. The time for promises is over. We must use the upcoming Summits to lay out time bound, science-driven actions that invest in nature, in productive lands and in #ClimateAction.

Great hive work with @BolandCellar @Nedbank #NUXE @Greenpop on our #treesforbees drive. Why not join our hive & join forces to plant 36000 trees by 2025. At a cost of R4.5 million, many partners will make it light work. #GenerationRestoration #WorldBeeDay

Apollo seduced Cyrene and she gave birth to a son named Aristeus. He was taken by Hermes and raised on nectar and ambrosia. The gods made him immortal and taught him the rustic arts. Aristeus became the god of beekeeping and taught humans to keep bees. 🐝 🍯

Celebrate by planting a tree that feeds bees?
We've partnered with @beeeffect2017 and @BolandCellar to establish the Boland Trees for Bees Pledge Fund. The goal of the pledge is to fund 36,000 trees providing bee forage by 2025.
