Mangroves and seagrass store up to 5x more carbon than forests on land. The ocean absorbs about 90% of the excess heat from greenhouse emissions. None of that works if the ocean destabilizes. Climate and ocean health are one issue. #marinelife 🦑 #greensky 🌊 🎥UN Ocean Decade

1/ 🌊 The ocean just had one of its biggest years in a generation, and most people missed it. Treaties in force. Species rebounding. Two landmark UN reports. $6.4B pledged in Kenya. I recapped the whole thing. Wins + honest caveats. 🧵

Plugin (or balcony) solar was illegal in all 50 states 18 months ago. Today it's legal in 8, and 89% of Americans support it. It's a panel you hang on a railing and plug into a wall outlet. No roof, no $30k, renters welcome. What it is and where your state stands👇
