The dog he fostered bit everyone. Yes what Lawrence did to this foster dog was wrong. But now his own dog has been taken away and he was devoted to it. That dog was his life. ARF should never have put that foster dog into another animal’s home. ARF needs to take responsibility

Blown away by this new building in Vancouver. Designed by Kengo Kuma built by @GrahamConstr. It feels otherworldly.

I have no idea why folks buy food at the food trucks at the Inglewood Night Market when you can get Lina’s pizza by the slice for $4. It’s so tasty! #inglewoodnightmarket

Start a climate conversation with friends, family, or colleagues and talk about the risks we face, the choices we can make, and the solutions we can adopt. If warming stripes are useful for that conversation then download them here: ShowYourStripes.info #ShowYourStripes

The world’s 1st octopus farm would cram a MILLION of these smart and sensitive creatures into tiny tanks before painfully freezing them to death – but a massive public outcry can help stop it. Sign and share now! #BanOctopusFarming fb.avaaz.org/campaign/en/ban… #spain #myOctopusTeacher

Renewable energy critics love to point out that it takes 255 tons of coal to build a wind turbine. But it would take a coal-fired power plant 154,494 tons of coal to generate as much electricity as a wind turbine produces over its entire life. 🧵
