On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we celebrate our wonderful planet and are reminded of our responsibility to protect it. With House Democrats, I continue to fight for commonsense policies that help us combat pollution, protect our ecosystems, and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.
It’s #globalrunningday and #WorldEnvironmentDay so a good time to encourage you to join #TheGreenRunners if you care about minimising your sport’s impact on the planet🙏🏻 Visit https://thegreenrunners.com and check out how we work on four pillars of action tackling how we travel, how we kit up, how we fuel (ourselves) and how we speak up for the planet✊🏻
Ayon sa United Nations, ang tema ng #WorldEnvironmentDay ngayong taon ay nakatuon sa land restoration at pagiging matatag sa kabila ng tagtuyot na nararanasan.
"The trees were now large, and stood in regular, almost geometric, fashion, with roomy spaces between. There was little undergrowth, and I could see a long way in every direction. The forest was like a great church, solemn and silent and empty."
-- Lilith, George MacDonald
We are all in this together. It's the challenge of our generation and the next. We can do this. The sooner we turn the ship, the better the chance of averting disaster.
Found a message in a bottle washed up on the beach: "Please dispose of this bottle responsibly. I’m marooned on a desert island with no bins. Thanks." #WorldEnvironmentDay
A reminder today, on #WorldEnvironmentDay, that half of "the #environment" exists forever at night, and that its limits extend beyond the Earth itself. Caring for it means thinking bigger.
Some people are like: "I don't follow #GlobalWarming issues because it is so depressing and there is nothing we can do about it anyway." Well, the #ClimateCrisis is a huge problem for life on this planet, but not impossible, yet.
The first step is get educated about where we are and what can be done, both on a large scale and at an individual level. You don't have to read every article, but scan @ClimateMigration and read a post or two in honor of #WorldEnvironmentDay today.
