🤝 Developing a new paradigm for partnerships: Together for stronger #foodsystems.⁠
⁠
Marco Ferroni, Chair of the CGIAR System Board has penned a new blog on the importance of partnerships for CGIAR's continued impact. Check it out below and at the link in our bio ↕️⁠
⁠
🌍️⁠
⁠
In Africa, it’s said that if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together. ⁠
⁠
The world indeed has far to go to deliver safe and healthy food, livelihoods and environments for all, a complex undertaking made yet more difficult by climate change, the conflict in Ukraine and the COVID-19 recovery. The combined impact has left healthy diets out of reach for three billion people, according to the latest report from the fao.⁠
⁠
No single entity can go the distance to tackle these challenges alone. This recognition inspired, in part, the #OneCGIAR reform, a process that has also highlighted the fundamental need for more systemic collaboration and engagement both within CGIAR and with external partners. ⁠
⁠
Interconnected and interdependent challenges require fresh, and bold new approaches. CGIAR has already shown how research teams working across previously siloed disciplines can more effectively tackle complex issues. But transformation of food, land and water systems will require that we explore greater diversity in the range of research and scaling partners, going beyond the agriculture sector into the health and energy sectors for example.⁠

Remember, it's the coolest summer for the rest of our lives 🤗😅

Actually though I hate the heat always have, but lately I hate it more because it constantly reminds me of our water crisis we are in. I look back at the photo of me diving into Lake Powell 2yrs ago & I would literally break my neck if I tried to recreate that photo today. I wake up wanting to paddleboard the Columbia River to keep cool, but can't because of toxic algae blooms from major corporations & corrupt government operations polluting our water systems. Or what has been happening down in Hawaii with the military.

I hear the farmers & ranchers concerns over not enough water & having to move their operations, to too much water & flooding/crops/herds being destroyed. Freak weather patterns increase year after year destroying countless livelihoods, making our already unstable economy/markets-- even less stable. Not to mention how these climate issues have been impacting wildlife populations like deer, elk, and salmon. I then see how people blame farmers & ranchers for the water crisis & environmental issues, not realizing that it's actually the system that is preventing positive change.

It's a lot. This world is a lot.

But there are practical solutions we should all be talking about. The first step though is educating yourself in an intersectional way, so you can advocate & clearly communicate practical, realistic solutions on behalf of both producers & consumers. I share lots of educational resources through my stories on here, & if you're not following me on the clock app already, you should. My handle is the same as here. I do a lot of educating, with citations, on there so you can casually add these facts as you talk with others in your life to help them understand these things too. The better you understand these things, the better we can all put consistent, clear, firm pressure on politicians to actually change these systems harming us all!

Have a nice day, & remember if we don't make drastic system change in the next few years, we will continue to hit new record temps every summer until we die 😌

** Lets talk #climatechange effects in Uganda***🌳

A couple of days ago, the media published over 900 people that died in Karamoja region Northern Region leaving over 150,000 plus without the basic fuel for Human survival. Bringing it closer to home in Nansana Wakiso district a home that caters for special needs kids Angels Center (www.angelscentre.org) lost 3 children and 100 more struggling - cost of food! This is just a needle in the ocean as food scarcity becomes a huge and worrying issue countrywide....

Between 1990 to 2005, natural forests in Uganda were decreased by 35% and by 2020 forest cover was at 11.66% from 24%in the 90s per The World Bank Development Indicators yet Uganda is known as the Pearl of Africa!

We can only drive change by starting in our neighborhoods. Case in Point Kalambi Natural Forest Haven that sits on just 13 acres, 17 Km from city center Kampala with 1 acre pond area. The forest is a filter for storm water runoff for a catchment of 1 km between the forest and Wakiso-Buloba road at Romil Gardens. It also serves as a genesis for a tributary that joins Kanyogoga rivulet that subsequently joins River Mayanja and serve as filtration swamps which curb soil erosion and degradation in 5 surrounding neighborhoods!👏👏🌸
Other related benefits: nature walk, bird watching , butterflies, herbal medicine products, small game tourism, picnic camping, forestry training etc... This haven is owned by my dad,Martin Kasekende.
His dream is to train others with land however small to preserve such ecosystems that are necessary for our survival...

What are you doing in your neibourhood to shift the dial positively on climate change? You never know whose child's future you are saving....🌴🌿🌿🌳🍃

National Tree Day was established in 1996, and is Australia's largest community tree planting event with over 26 Million Trees Planted to date. Each year, around 300,000 people volunteer their time to engage in environmental activities that educate Australians about the world around them.

Trees Help the environment in so many ways:
🌳​ Tackle climate change
🌳​ Clean the air
🌳​ Prevent soil erosion and improve water quality
🌳​ Create and restore habitats
🌳 ​Improve your mental and physical health

Today is National Schools Tree Day and National Tree Day this Sunday.

It's a day to venture outdoors, get to know your community and, most importantly, plant some trees whilst having fun! Get involved and plant a tree.

Faces of SkyFire: Meet Rining Clément!

A first year apprentice with our Calgary crew, Rining or Rin as some call him, believes the shift towards renewable energy is important given our current environmental climate. Seeing the industry as rapidly growing with lots of opportunity for work, Rin has been able to grow his knowledge of solar and the industry and share it with others who are interested.

He admits that at times his job can be physically and mentally demanding, having to work on rooftops in all elements, from the freezing middle of winter to blazing hot summer days. Keeping morale high on those days is important and Rin says his co-workers have been doing that ever since he can remember! With his co-workers describing him as energetic, hardworking and compassionate, it is no surprise his co-workers find him just as supportive as he does them.

The supportive crews and work culture here at SkyFire have facilitated Rin’s learning both with general electrical work and solar. Working on any size of array, Rin says it's pretty cool to install systems knowing that they will continue to draw power for years after the initial installation. On top of that, he loves getting to see and meet customers who are interested and excited throughout the process and says it definitely makes his work feel even more worthwhile!☀

When Rin is off the clock he can almost always be found catching up on sleep after a long work week or going skateboarding and catching up with friends over a few beers.

Also how great does this system behind him look?! Yesterday Rin and his crew finished putting this array up on one of our other staff's houses.

🌱Program Spotlight!🌱

Climate Resilience! This incredible program was made possible through the support and collaboration of local community members and partners who care deeply about bringing #ClimateAction and #EnvironmentalScience to young people in North Kingston!

Arija has been running this program since mid-March and it has blossomed 🌸 (pun intended) into a weekly program through out the summer.

#HandsOn #experiential learning has made learning fun this summer for our students AND staff. Arija has taught us all so much and we are so grateful for the community support that has has made the continuation of this program possible!

Scaling agroecological and local market alternatives are essential for nourishing people and reversing climate change. Yet, the false narrative that continues to dominate globally is that industrialized agriculture must ‘feed the world.’ This is a mindset that we work alongside our partners to change.

Trees play an important role in mitigating climate change. They help to regulate the Earth's temperature by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. They also help to prevent soil erosion and provide habitat for wildlife. Planting trees is a simple and effective way to help combat climate change.

the eve of Climate New Year ⏰

Tomorrow, the clock will tick to 6 years left to avoid surpassing 1.5 C global warming, ushering in the first official Climate Emergency Day. What is at stake, and what are you going to do about it?

Heatwaves (you know you’re feeling this), water shortages, and wildfires rage on. We need bold action in a closing window of time to secure a livable future on our beautiful Mother Earth; not pushbacks.

Ring in the climate new year by finding space for a moment of silence and reflection. Consider your climate resolution, and if you’d like to share, use the hashtags #MyClimateResolution and #ActinTime! Together, we can rise 🌊 climateclock.world

Second week of volunteering with wwfspain - second island. We changed island to Ons which is a wonderful island in the Atlantic Ocean. On Ons is a little village where around 40 people live the hole year and tourists can stay there during summertime. The nature around is super beautiful and is full of biodiversity.

Suddenly the climate crisis overshadowed all this beauty on the island.

One night we were in the island’s restaurant and watched the Women’s EURO and the mood was super good.
In the halftime some Spanish news where on the screen. Immediately nobody talked, everyone stared at the screen and stopped eating. After a view seconds some people started shaking there heads and some people had tears in there eyes because they couldn’t believe how huge the wildfires in Spain are right now.
The climate crisis is here! And everywhere!

We see now firefighters all over the world who fight against the flames from the wildfire.
In many regions in Spain are temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius and it seems not that it will cool down soon and water is getting scarce.

I couldn’t go home with my Interrail ticket because on the rails is fire, on the road as well, so I couldn’t take the bus neither. I needed to get to the next airport to get a plane away from the wildfires.

But the people who live there can’t go. They can’t take the plane. They can’t save their house and some of them even lost their loved ones or there own lives.

This is now happening in Europe but many countries in the global south are suffering under the consequences even harder and since a longer period of time.
I’m speechless when I see all this without some action from the politicians.

Thank you to everyone who helped out and attended our Arts for Climate Festival yesterday! We had a great time doing art and activities all day, including watching @emerge125 in their amazing performance at our stickworks sculpture!

Volunteer actions at local and global levels continue to drive #environmental outcomes and #ClimateAction in the 21st century.

Whether they are spontaneous community-based actions or a highly specialized support at the global level, volunteers 🌎 assist communities impacted by #ClimateChange. How?

🔺By being first responders to #climate crises in communities
🔺Helping map and monitor #ClimateChange around them
🔺Raising voice and individual action for climate resilience

#volunteering #volunteers #unitednations #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #sdg

We believe that there is strong link between communication and environmental issues, including climate change.

Our collective response as a human family to the many threats posed by climate change partly depends on the extent to which climate-related issues receive public attention, particularly in terms of media content.

Climate change has a disproportionate impact on people and communities in vulnerable situation. We believes that enabling those communities to tell their stories, organize for change, and advance their own solutions to the climate crisis is critical.

Most families have just returned from years of displacement. The Lutheran World Federation, a member of the ACT Alliance, is helping families tackle food problems. They provided seeds and tools to help Yak and her neighbours start the garden.

Here's my incredibly dog-eared, underlined and highlighted copy of Claire O'Rourke's- claireorourke - new book, "Together We Can: Everyday Australians Doing Amazing Things to Give our Planet a Future."
.
It's a book born from freaking out about climate change, that manages to convince you that there are 'positive' tipping points as well, and solutions that add up to more than the sum of their parts.
.
What I'd say is this is not a book about climate change. It's a book about connection, community, democracy, business survival, creativity, resilience and human flourishing.

We can't wait to have her on the reMAKERS podcast to find out which stories surprised her, had the biggest impact and whether she truly believes humanity is up to this challenge. Anything else you want us to ask? Pop it in the comments or DM us!

Compost Considerations
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This summer marks a full year of at home composting using a traditional three bin system. After a year of trial, error and observation, I am now a confident composter and have really turned a corner! We have struck black gold.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Converting our kitchen scraps and yard waste into a usable product has been beyond satisfying. 🔄 This season, we have actually been able to add our homemade compost to our garden beds and use it in our regular actively aerated compost tea soil fertilizer! 🥳 While compost does "just happen" here are some tips to help bring you more compost success:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📍 Location is so important. Not only do you want to keep your compost at a distance (mice and flies are known to enjoy a compost pile) you also want to make sure it's in a sunny location, year-round if possible. Composting in a shady location can make 365 production impossible (in our region) and can slow down the process.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📊 Ratios. It is important to be mindful of what you're putting in that compost pile. Be sure to keep the green to brown ratio about even. While green materials are abundant this time of year, it can be helpful to have brown materials at hand. ➡️ We keep a bucket of chipped raspberry canes, shredded junk mail and dryer lint nearby for our brown materials. ⬅️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧖‍♀️ Moisturize & Oxygenate. Keeping your pile evenly moist and turned frequently with speed up the composting process. Like Goldilocks, you want the moisture levels to be just right - not sopping wet and not bone dry. In our climate, you'll need to water the pile more frequently. I like to turn the pile at least once a week to help aerate.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you have a home compost pile, it doesn't feel like scraps, spent plants or organic materials are going to waste. You feel like an alchemist, creating something valuable. 🧙‍♂️ Close the loop and feed your soil - start your composting adventure today! ❤️👩‍🌾

Maiti Grabow (DDS ‘25), pictured on the far right, recently won 2nd place in the CU President’s Sustainable Solutions Challenge with her project to bring composting to the cuanschutz medical campus. Until it’s formally implemented, she plans to host monthly “compost days” where students can drop off bags of organic waste, which will be used on Dr. Douglas Wilson’s farm! Austin (left) and Kara (middle) were two of many students who contributed.

This time of year most people go to Italy for pizza, pasta, gelato, and summer holidays🌞

Meanwhile I went for a summer school on Climate Change and International Law with added benefit of meeting passionate people and seeing my Italian friends again of cause 🌍

I had the pleasure of attending a week long seasonal school in Pisa at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna. We learned about climate change litigation cases around the world and specifically in Europe, we discussed the climate change - security, -gender, and -migration nexus. We had simulations negotiating international climate change agreements and developed a legal strategy for a climate case in Italy. All while almost melting away in the heatwave brought to Europe by climate change.

The video I share at the end of this post is a statement I read in a climate negotiation simulation. None of the statements are any new information and most of it is taken from a collection of previous statements by the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) so I do not claim that these words are mine but I fully support them and I wanted to share them because the more awareness we can raise on this the better!

Loss and damage is a topic I am very passionate about and it is a major international negotiation obstacle that will shape future climate negotiation and will continue to block progress unless efforts are made to find international solutions and solidarity on it!

Thank you to my fellow classmates and of cause Martina, who first invited me as a speaker on intergenerational climate justice at a seasonal school in February and then inspired me to come for such stimulating week of learning and discussion now in July. Let's continue working for a just future

🚨 URGENT: On July 28th, 16 oil blocks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo will be auctioned off to oil giants, 9 of which lie in the Congo Basin, the world’s second largest carbon sink after the Amazon and largest tropical peatland complex.

The peatland stores approximately 30 billion tons of carbon - equivalent to about 82% of annual global carbon dioxide emissions. The auction is being celebrated by some as a chance for the DRC to become one of Africa’s leading crude oil exporters - but it would have catastrophic consequences for the global climate, local people and biodiversity.

The DRC needs debt cancellation and global support for a just transition, not further oil colonialism and exploitation of natural resources.  This auction will lead to further conflict and human rights abuses, and will be catastrophic for the climate and local biodiversity.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

💸 Donate to DRC activists working on this campaign (link in bio)
✍🏼 Sign the petition from 350.org asking the Congolese government to cancel the auction (link in bio)

Hello from Bersenbrück! Larso has no sun to sunbathe in so he is focusing all his energy on teaching the future generation about #climatechange and #climatesolutions! #solarbutterfly

Improving the biodiversity of our 36 hectare property is an arduous task, but I’m hoping we can now help nature out a bit, in her time of need. After 40 years of conventional farming, the change won’t happen overnight! #regenerativeviticulture

Looking at agroecological mixed farming, mixed mosaic agricultural, horticultural habitat, complimentary planting, wood hip mulching, fruit alley rows, #Silvopasture with chickens.

What is a prescribed burn? A prescribed burn is a method of land management where, under the watchful eye of trained fire managers and practitioners, an area of land is intentionally burned under predetermined weather conditions to meet specific ecological goals. Fire has a long, complex history in California, but “good fire” - or fire managed for resource benefit - is essential in helping us meet our ecological, social, economic, cultural, climate, and public safety needs throughout California.

The California coast, for example, was historically made up of coastal prairie, and was managed by indigenous communities for time immemorial using fire. This land was once the most biodiverse landscape in North America, but through the removal of native people and human’s use of fire, much of the land has shifted from coastal prairie to shrub and forest, and has suffered a decrease in bird diversity as a result. Prescribed burns could be used in these areas to restore coastal prairie plant species and potentially increase bird diversity, among other benefits.

For more information on good fire in California, check out the work of our partners at fire.forward goodfirealliance auduboncanyonranch

Planting the seeds of change to fight #ClimateChange!

French company Florimond Desprez is already working on resilient seeds, capable of coping with changes in agro-climatic conditions, able to withstand more frequent and extreme bouts of abiotic and biotic stress. We are happy to support their research into new plant varieties that can support the agro-ecological transition and mitigate the shortage of natural resources.

Investing in #ClimateAction in France🇫🇷 is no news. We have already dedicated two thirds of our lending in the fight against global warming.

Ditching your 🚗 and switching to a cargo bike 🚲 could be one of the best decision you make!

From making deliveries to the school run, the cargo bike can do it all!

Cargo bikes — which can carry everything from passengers to produce — are increasingly being used in place of greenhouse gas-emitting cars, trucks and vans.And they’re a lot fun 🤪

Our calling is to lead the sports industry in creating a positive climate and social impact, through the creation of gear we love and use, that stands the test of time.⁠

A little insight into my beautiful work ☀️⚡️

As an electrical engineer, I work on the absolute frontline of the energy transistion.

So today I checked the photovoltaic panels on a new building in Bern, where the old 'Burgernziel Tramdepot' used to be 🚃

This check is very important because it is the foundation for everything that comes after.
(Little fact: The panels you see in my pictures generate enough energy for 30 apartments 🤯)

The electricity generated by these panels is controlled by a smart grid.
This is also part of my wonderful work to build these smart grids all over Switzerland 🇨🇭

In the end when everything has been tested and it works fine, I release the energy plant so that from now on it produces clean and cheap energy ☀️⚡️🔋💡

If you have a question about this topic, feel free to ask me!

Sunny greetings ☀️☀️

Martin

SNAP ACTION: SAY NO TO SANTOS!
Climate protest outside the gas giant Santos’ office in Adelaide, coinciding with another protest at Santos' Sydney office that was organised by School Strike 4 Climate and USyd Enviro Collective.
We stand in solidarity with the Gomeroi people and Narrabri farmers against Santos' the Narrabri Gas Project. This project (that is supported by both Labor and Liberal parties) will wreak destruction on sacred Gomeroi land and set off a carbon bomb.

This protest took place on stolen Kaurna Land.

Passion is different from interest. Those who are just interested in things have the “wish”, but passionate people have the “will”.

Rare occasion of meeting Gentleman. He is passionate about environment. Mr. Devshree is doing terrace gardening and want to make organic compost at home for the plants.

Surprisingly women are mostly holding the fort of cleanliness and greenery in the city. Few men come across. Why it is So ?

We look forward more people to come forward to become #ecowarrior and save the city from waste maniac and climate change.

Lets become part of the solution. Call us or whatsapp at +91 9717764262 for wonderful DIY Composting Kit.

Thanks to laincubator for hosting this #induction #electric cooking demo. Induction stoves cook quickly and avoids burning gas in your kitchen which is terrible for indoor air quality and the climate. It took a minute to get used to, but my veggies came out 👌 This is the future of cooking. #cookingwithmagnets #nowwerecooking #climateaction

Project highlight! We're so excited to welcome these awesome #ArlingtonVA homeowners to the Ipsun Fam! Their gorgeous new house looks even better with 14.4kW of solar panels. ✨💚

They’ll be saving about $100 per month on their utility bill, and enjoying a 6.8% return on their solar investment annually. Overall, the project will bring them $93,500 in savings over the 30-year life of the system. But the best savings of all will be the 404,000 pounds of fossil fuel not burned because of their climate-saving action! 💪💃🌎

The project features qcells 400 watt panels, enphase IQ8 microinverters, and snapnrack Ultra Rail mounting system for a beautiful, high-quality, long-lasting system. ✌️💖

Kudos to the always amazing Crew #RoofRaiders for this expert installation--and for the custom "hidden" conduit run after painting the pipe to match the house. Nice work team! ⚡👏

Ready for camp! On July 24th I will be heading to the San Juan Mountains in Colorado as a member of the 2022 Footprints Running Camp. Footprints is a week-long camp that combines trail running and environmental activism. How does that work? Well, we applied with an environmental problem that we are passionate about solving, and at camp, after morning runs in the mountains, we work alongside mentors to design and develop projects to address that problem.
.
The problem that I am focused on is this: people in the US need to reduce meat consumption by 90% and dairy by 60% in order to avoid runaway climate change. Globally, the average citizen will have to eat 90% less pork, 75% less beef, and 50% fewer eggs (Springmann, Nature). However, consumption of animal products is on the rise (FAO). So the questions I’ll be thinking about at camp are: How might we get people to eat fewer animal products? How might we get people to move towards a diet that is as vegan as possible?
.
I’m excited to work on one of the most socially entrenched and emotionally charged drivers of climate change. The one that, far too often, gets left out of public discourse and policy discussions. I’m excited to work on it because, when it comes to actions that we as individuals can take to protect our planet, the evidence is clear. In the words of the lead author of the most comprehensive analysis on farming and the environment to date, “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use, and water use.” (Poore, Science)
.
Time to get to work 💚🌎🌱

In the first pic, you see Village Game Scouts on patrol in Tanzania. They protect the local forests and wildlife for future generations. Reducing deforestation prevents greenhouse gases from being released into the atmosphere and secures habitat connectivity for endangered wildlife between the Yaeda Valley and the Ngorongoro Highlands. The benefits of our project (link in bio) are so diverse and that's exactly what we like. From the communities, the forests and the animals to the climate – this project contributes to 10 SDGs!⁠
⁠
🔮 The future is now. How it looks, is on us.⁠

PLANTING THE FOOD GARDEN AT URBAN DOVE CHARTER SCHOOL (BK) - PART 1

We finished building and filling all the food planters urbandoveny. Students then moved onto planting them with a variety of veggies, herbs, and pollinator flowers. There is excitement about what the garden will produce this season. 🌿🤸🏾‍♂️🍓🫑🍅🥬

It's been a long process to get to this point, but we are all happy to see it flourish into happy gardens. The last video and image are of the main ground green space that we transformed and evolved from having just a few species, to having over 2 dozen species growing there now. IT'S LOOKING BEAUTIFUL!🌿🌺🤩💗🌼

Shout out to all the students who have taken time to come and help in the gardens and tree pits. We had over 2 dozen different students participate over the last 6 months, with many of them being consistent participants each week. Also thanks to grownyc bigreuse and nyc_oer for helping us acquire the compost, soil, and plants we needed.🌿😎💯🌿

The next phase involves building vertical supports and systems to allow plants to grow vertically and allow us to grow more efficiently. Part 2 will show the opening event for the gardens at Urban Dove Brooklyn Team Charter School.🌿💗🌿

THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING 💚😊🙌🏽🌿

Young members of Woodcraft Folk recently met for a training residential in April at Cudham Environmental Activities Centre. During the event they explored carbon footprints and played carbon and climate awareness games 🌏. They also began to collect data to measure the environmental impact of residential stays at the centre.

The team of young educators are part of the National Association for Environment Education funded All Change project. Since April they have been testing activities at local Woodcraft Folk groups, gathering feedback on what young people want to learn about regarding climate change and which activities they find engaging.

The group have just published their first film, exploring carbon footprints https://bit.ly/3z50Nrn. This will be one of a series of films the group are producing that explore climate change, climate science and how young people can take action to address the climate emergency.

This summer the team will be hosting workshops at Common Ground for children and young people.

Our planet needs trees. People need trees.

When planted in the right place, trees can help slow climate change, filter our air and water, foster biodiversity, and strengthen our communities.

One of the ways we can reverse climate change is by planting more and more trees. We have set ourselves a target to plant 5,000 trees annually, and we have already planted 3,600 orange and mandarin saplings, and 200 avocado trees in the backyards of our surrounding communities.

Pretty excited for my new-to-me wheels 🚲 to get me to and from work for the summer.

I’m making it my movement challenge for myself to bike to work as much as possible.

I’ve made lots of reasons not to in the past:

- I didn’t even think of it! Why bike, when I could drive?! 😆🤷‍♀️
- I didn’t want to be sweaty before work
- I wanted to save time (efficiency, efficiency, efficiency!)
- I didn’t want to bike up the big hill back to my house.

But if I look at a few of the positives:

- Why drive, when I could bike?!
- I live very close to work
- I could start the day with movement and fresh air
- I get to bike downhill on the way there, which should reduce the ‘sweatiness at work’ worry 😅

Sometimes it can all be in our perspective. And I won’t know if I like the routine unless I try it.

Plus. This bike is special. It was my Mom’s. And it gives me an excuse to ride it 💗💗💗

How are you moving more this season?

Journal Entry Day 1: PLANNING

Today I placed stubs on the ground where my house made of renewable and local materials is going to be. With help from experts, it turned out that what I had imagined and dreamed of is possible. Building in nature. Preserving nature. And still looking cool af. Gonna be a journey.

Yes, my dog is also an expert. Certified fertilizer.

Single-Use Plastic Ban Turns the Spotlight on loopify.world India’s Largest Zero-Plastic Store

Recently the single-use plastic ban announced a year ago in India officially came into effect. A blessing in plain sight, the injunction prohibits the use of plastics disposed after a single use, such as earbuds, plastic forks, spoons, cups, packing on cigarettes, sweet boxes, candy and ice-cream sticks. Single-use plastic carry bags are also part of the list, having been banned a year ago.

The 📸 #PhotoOfTheWeek is coming from Camp the.regenesis.project in the Philippines 🤗 This group of eco-restorers is putting their recently learned knowledge and skills about water systems to good use using this A-frame structure.

As Camp manager Yani explained, the primary goal for their water systems is to create water movement which must be “SLOW, SPREAD, and SINK. Water must stroll, not gallop, across our landscape”

Keep up the amazing work Camp Regenesis 💪

Go to our bio link to learn more about the awesome initiatives happening at Camp Regenesis!

You can also catch Yani in our recent YouTube symposium speaking about the Camp's experience with non-native species and how they are contributing to their restoration work!

We wanted to generate 100% of our home's electrical needs with solar panels. If each person or family simply took responsibility for their own annual electric consumption, enormous environmental benefits and real progress would accrue in rising to the climate change challenges that lie ahead.

We decided to add solar panels to our home last December. They began producing energy a month later. It is to supplement our usage.

📍 Weston Big Wood Walk, near Portishead

🥾 It was our first time exploring this nature reserve for this lovely circular walk. Perfect for families and dog walkers.

🥾 Owned and managed by Avon Wildlife Trust, it is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI).

🥾 There are wooden sculptured waymarks around the wood which the girls loved finding.

🥾 Parking: Lay-by on Valley Road (LHS just past the tip)
or, on The Downs near Highdown School.

🥾 Walk starts from either of these parking places. We started on Valley Road: From the lay-by cross over the road and through the kissing gate straight into the wood. The wooden gate and posts have beautiful carvings.

🥾 Through the gate is a sign with trail map and info about the wildlife here.

🥾 Best time to visit May-July for bluebells, wild garlic, wild violets and wood anemones.

🥾 Not suitable for buggy’s/wheelchairs. Can get muddy in winter

🥾 OS grid Ref: ST456 750

🥾 Duration 1.5-2 hours outdoors

Didn't use a disposable bag at the grocery store.

It’s a work of #art! And a #climate saving machine. Our new Watson #composter has been carefully crafted thanks to top quality recycled timber from thorsrecycled and the hard work from hardwoodprojects. Luke and his team braved the early Winter cold snap to get this job done. The final finishing touches are going to be added this week. We can’t wait to start using it.

The timbers are so beautiful it’s almost a shame to dirty it up with #compost... almost. Join us next Sunday, 26 June at 2pm when we will ‘christen’ it by loading it up with some semi-compost to get it started. Come with all of your questions on #communitycomposting and just how beneficial avoiding #methane is. Brook will host an info session for anyone that wants to know more about how we operate, and why.

We’re extra excited about this new composter as it is the second one we have installed in Watson. This means that our operations get even more efficient and maximises the use of our electric trike for #carbonneutral micro-hauling.

Thanks Luke and team, we love your work!

Aaaand we’re back! Our first in-person professional learning in 2.5 years was a success!! Thank you to our Climate Education Leadership Team and The Center For Sustainable Futures teacherscollege #climateeducation

🔥🔥🔥NEWS ALERT🔥🔥🔥

This morning we had a lovely time with Westward Ho! Park’s gardeners, Sue Whetnall from HOTBIN, Emily & Sarah from North Devon Biospehere and Mayor of Northam, Appledore and Westward Ho! Nick Laws.

The park is now in possession of a HOTBIN Mega, all 700 litres of it!

Huge thank you to HOTBIN Composting, North Devon UNESCO Biosphere, Northam Town Council and the Friends of Westward Ho! Park.

The problem is the solution, says my friend Tim. Well now I’ve dug a catch basin and a swale and I’ve never been so muddy in my life. We are installing a drip irrigation system powered by a solar pump that collects ground water! #theproblemisthesolution #groundwater #irrigationsystem #runoff #sumpwater #rainwatergarden

Instead of discarding old composters, we decided to turn them into flower pots! 🌺

I’m back after two days of meetings about climate policies with the staff of Members of Congress and two days of the citizensclimate conference.

Being involved in climate advocacy can be draining because you’re constantly looking for signs of hope. Sometimes those signs of hope come simply from being alongside some inspiring friends. ☺️

Also, touring the monuments on the National Mall at night is fabulous! (And a lot less hot).

My partner and I recently purchased our dream homestead. One of the biggest selling points was the solar array that provides for most of the power needs of our family throughout the year.

our solutions are in the form of a 13.8 kw solar system on our front barn (blue arrow) and a 15.7 kw solar system on our back barn (green arrow).

“We, the youth... are striking because the science says we have just a few years to transform our energy system, reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, and prevent the worst effects of climate change. We are striking because our world leaders have yet to acknowledge, prioritize, or properly address our climate crisis. We are striking because marginalized communities are already disproportionately impacted by climate change. We are striking because if the social order is disrupted by our refusal to attend school, then the system is forced to face the climate crisis and enact change. With our futures at stake, we call for radical legislative action to combat climate change and its countless detrimental effects. We are striking for the Green New Deal, for a fair and just transition to a 100% renewable economy, and for ending the creation of additional fossil fuel infrastructure. Additionally, we believe the climate crisis should be declared a national emergency because we are running out of time.” / youth.for.climate strike held in over 120 countries, March 15th, 2019.

I was asked by a local journalist to summarise why we demonstrated on Friday. This is what I said:
.
In the words of Greta Thunberg “We have an existential crisis on our hands”. This has been very real for my generation (who were probably the first to learn as children that the Earth was in trouble) but is even more terrifying for the children we are now bringing up. The state of our planet is spiralling rapidly out of control, right as they are beginning their lives; as they plan for their future. And even though it has been made undeniably clear (we have 12 years to find a solution) that we will not have air to breathe or food to eat, we see the likes of Donald Trump still publicly denying climate change. The most powerful man in the world pulling out of the Paris climate agreement in 2017. We get U.K. government policies going against everything we know we need to do to stop, or at least drastically slow down global warming. The greed in the West is literally killing Earth and it’s hitting the poorest and most innocent people (and animals) first.
We are a family that tries to do our best for the planet. We eat a vegan diet, we try not to buy plastic, shop local and second hand, we grow our own veg, we walk and cycle lots and spend time researching the most eco-friendly option with every choice we make but scarily, this is still no where near enough. And even if most people were living like us - it would still not be anywhere near enough. We need global action at government level. We need panic; we need extreme changes in culture and society e.g. forget a bag tax - let’s just not make any more plastic bags! Forget meat-free Mondays - ban beef! Ban fossil fuels, ban fishing, ban fast fashion, ban cars if we have to. Then we’d all HAVE to change. We’d have to adapt to a new world and we would do so and we’d be fine. We’d survive without these luxuries because, well, we’d save the planet. When most people don’t even see or believe in the issue, we will get nowhere without extreme governmental change dictating the action. And we only have 12 years to do it all in! *continued in comments*

On March 6, hundreds of high school students convened for the Columbia Youth Climate Summit in NYC. After a keynote presentation by Professor Jason Smerdon, attendees participated in workshops on recycling, resource checking, alternative energy sources, art, climate justice, and more before working on Climate Action Plans to implement at their schools. In-person summits may be on hold for now, but youth engagement is still going strong 🌍
