Healthier people - just one more reason to support a #JustTransition to #Renewables
Other reasons:
1. #ClimateChange
2. #PeaceNotWar - dependence on fossil fuels contributes to conflict over resources and used as ammunition in #UkraineRussiaWar
3. Children deserve to live.
Europe’s dependence on Russian #fossilfuels turned into ammunition. Another reason we need to transition to #renewables.

if you think about this even for a minute, you will have a sense of the endless stupid treadmill that the fossil fuel industry wants to keep us on forever.
Shell, Europe’s largest oil company, said Saturday that it would continue to buy Russian crude oil to feed into its refineries and supply customers with gasoline and diesel but would donate any profits to a fund dedicated to “the people of Ukraine.” nyti.ms/3HMAmrw

First and foremost, be wary of the difference between MISinformation and DISinformation. While they can seem interchangeable, the difference lies in the intent. Precise language is important e.g. propaganda can fall under the umbrella of disinformation
ALT Graphic showing the difference between disinformation and misinformation. Disinformation: when people intentionally create false or misleading information to make money, have political influence, or to maliciously cause trouble or harm. Why do people share disinformation? For money, political gain, to cause confusion, or to sow mistrust. Misinformation: when people share disinformation but they don't realize it's false or misleading, often because they're trying to help or want to feel part of a community. Why do people share misinformation? Out of fear and wanting to protect people they care about or to connect with others who are sharing similar information.

And air pollution. And inequality. And preventable diseases. And public health cost increases. And cost of living increases. And tax increases. And it supports economic devt & allows more trips in a lot less space.
