👏🏼👏🏼 Berlin has developed an app where people can adopt and care for trees on the street, getting messages when they need water! When Berlin hit 103.8°F on June 27, 2026, volunteers collectively poured 8,000 liters of water on their adopted trees, helping them survive the extreme heatwave 🌳💚

Nature has rights — it is time the world recognized them
Existing legal frameworks have not halted planetary crises. Recognizing the rights of nature could offer a different path.

AI consumes lots of energy, pollutes and solved some math problems but has not fed the poor, healed the sick or prevented war, prolonged life expectancy and most importantly, AI has not stopped global warming or associated severe weather. Facts are facts.

#Atrazine is single-handedly making clean water unavailable and posing long-term dangers to people and wildlife in affected areas. The #EPA, which is considering reapproving this #pesticide, should follow the lead of five dozen countries around the world and implement a permanent ban on atrazine.

Weather forecasters depend on the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)’s work to predict storms and warn communities if they need to evacuate. ​ With the Trump admin dismantling NCAR, people will have less time to prepare for extreme weather. We’re demanding answers and transparency.​

Today is the last day for @governor.ca.gov to sign AB 40, which would require environmental review for what would be the largest coal export site on the West Coast. The proposed Oakland coal terminal would be much larger – and pollute much more – than previously revealed to surrounding communities.

Up to 12 million tons of coal per year would be shipped to a Trump-backed Oakland terminal with open-air storage, defying promises of an enclosed facility.
