Dolphins have names for each other. Captive dolphins still call out to their lost families, but no one answers.

Study: Modest moss supports billions of tons of carbon storage Plant life plays a crucial role in fighting climate change by absorbing and transforming greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. For instance, over its lifetime, a tree can absorb more than a ton of car...

Mosses are a force of nature - save them
Mosses sequester around 6.43 billion metric tons more carbon in the soil than is stored in the bare patches of soil without any plants

Mosses can thrive in challenging environments where other plants struggle to survive.

Noise pollution is affecting birds' reproduction, stress levels and more. The good news is we can fix it. New research led by the University of Michigan is painting a more comprehensive picture of how noise pollution is impacting birds around the world.

Noise pollution is affecting birds’ reproduction, stress levels and more. The good news is we can fix it.
Since 1970, bird populations have declined at a staggering rate, with 3 billion breeding adults lost in North America alone.

Its telling that the Pentagon is doing its first briefing *today* on the Iran war. Another sign they have no interest or intent to make any case for war. It's because they have no case to make and no plan.

Keir Starmer was advised to ditch net zero. He needs to re-embrace it After byelection defeat and with right-leaning advisers gone, will PM return to his instincts and embrace Labour β€˜DNA’ on climate?

On Friday, the seat of Gorton and Denton was won by the Green party.

Local people said that making their homes warmer to bring down their bills, better public transport, improving green spaces and strengthening communities were among their top priorities. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

Forcing disabled people into legislated poverty can kill.

Forcing disabled people to become a financial dependent if they get married or cohabitate can kill.

Refusing to give us autonomy & a living wage forces us into dangerous situations.

We need independence and equality.

ICE Took Wael Tarabishi's Full Time Caregiver Away... and it Killed Him Wael Tarabishi was a 30 year old disabled man who's father Maher was his full time caregiver. ICE took Maher in October, leaving Wael without support. He died three months later.

On this Disability Day of Mourning, let’s honor Wael Tarabishi, a disabled man who died when ICE took his caregiver away.

Wael told them he would die without his father who was his β€œarms, legs & lungs”.

ICE took him anyways.

Wael died 3 months later:

Orcas teach their young unique hunting skills - techniques passed down like human traditions. Marine parks steal not just their freedom, but their culture.

We are ending life on our planet πŸ‘ΊThe idea of colonizing uninhabitable planets like Mars sounds totally absurd when we as a species aren’t even able to sustain life on the living planet we originated from.

It is really something, out of all the places in the world where one can happen into being, to live in a place where you never really have to contemplate the possibility you might be blown up by an idiot someday. A few buttons are pushed, a flash in the sky, and that's it. Oblivion. For nothing.

Disability Day of Mourning is a day dedicated to grieving disabled people who’ve been killed by their caregivers.

The people we entrust to keep us safe are often the ones most likely to hurt us.

Why? Because ableism is violence but the non disabled don’t see it that way.

Cartoon of a street jammed with cars surrounded by never-ending low density suburban houses. 
It illustrates car dependency where you need a car for virtually everything. And the streets are constantly stuck in traffic jams and congestion.

Cartoon of a street jammed with cars surrounded by never-ending low density suburban houses. It illustrates car dependency where you need a car for virtually everything. And the streets are constantly stuck in traffic jams and congestion.

The most insidious thing about car dependency is what it does to us. The more dependent on cars they make us, the more WE’LL fight to defend that dependency from ANY change that would allow other CHOICES in how to get around, because we’re so dependent that we can’t picture ANYONE choosing them.

You construct your β€˜morality’ after the fact to justify your unthinking, obsequious adherence to conditioned social norms, after you’ve already decided it’s okay to violently exploit & kill me, & only then, when challenged on your callous, uncritical conformism.
