(2/2) We need a climate compensation fund so the coal, oil and gas companies that have contributed the most to the climate crisis pick up some of the damage bill, instead of ordinary Australians. #climatechange #extremeweather

Did you know that even when a product you buy is certified as 'sustainable' it could still be contributing to forest destruction and human rights abuses? We need laws that keep products from ecosystem destruction off the market, NOT greenwashing labels. act.gp/2PH9VxU

REVEALED: World’s largest meat processor JBS purchased meat from ranchers linked to the fires that consumed 30% of Pantanal, Brazil last year. JBS sells meat to food giants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. Here’s how meat tainted with deforestation gets to your plate:

Today, instead of buying new things we don’t need, how about avoid buying more stuff and focus on what really matters? RT if you agree! ❤️

Good to see #Cleveland made the pledge. "Green City on a Blue Lake." @sustainableCLE @GCBL @SustyBryan @CLEH2OAlliance @DrAparnaBole
As of 2017, only 45 of the 100 largest cities had any serious climate pledge. But, these 45 cities will eliminate about 6% of total annual U.S. emissions compared with 2017 levels. This equals to removing about 79 million passenger vehicles from the road. brook.gs/35rP4CY

Smog had only modest improvements, but heat-trapping carbon emissions are way down already. #silverlinings
Daily carbon emissions declined 17% between January and early April, compared to average levels in 2019, and could decline anywhere between 4.4% to 8% by the year's end, a study shows. cnn.it/2Zpshqh
