An estimated 194 billion disposable masks and gloves are used every month due to #COVID19. We can't allow our fight for a #NoPlasticWaste future is sidelined.
We need manufacturers, Big Plastic, and governments to create this vital equipment from the plastic that already exists.

Throughout my time at Dartmouth, a small group of students campaigned doggedly for the school to divest itself from fossil fuels. Today’s announcement is a testament to their hard work and to the promise of sustainable investing.
BREAKING: The College publicly announced today two decisions — made over the past five years — that will move the endowment away from direct investment in fossil fuels, a victory for “Divest” student activists. thedartmouth.com/fbc77644-8c…

My kids don’t understand why I work on anything other than climate change.
Why does anything else matter if you don’t fix this, they wonder.

The new IPCC report contains no real surprises. It confirms what we already know from thousands previous studies and reports - that we are in an emergency. It’s a solid (but cautious) summary of the current best available science. 1/2

Being a climate activist gives me all the purpose in life I could ever want.
It will for you too.
We need more people fighting for the safety of our home. Become a climate activist. Please.
Maybe Massachusetts can be next? bostonglobe.com/2021/07/19/b…

Once again: heat records are usually broken by tenths of a degree - not 4.6°C.
We're in a climate emergency that has never once been treated as an emergency. #FaceTheClimateEmergency

We’re way past the point of talking about what’s “reasonable.” Power lines are melting in the heat in Portland. Billionaires are paying no taxes and going to space. Buildings and bridges are collapsing. The only reasonable thing to do is change everything.

"The nations that make up the G7 have pumped billions of dollars more into fossil fuels than they have into clean energy."
Ah yes, that "green recovery"...

Plastic is everywhere.
Most plastic, we use once,
and then we throw away.
We've produced 6.3 billion tons
of fossil fuel-based plastics —
only 9% of it has ever been recycled.
Together, we can and we must
create a world with #NoPlasticWaste.

My deepest gratitude to everyone fighting to wake people up to the climate and ecological crisis.
The reason we're still in this mess is because we're outnumbered by those telling us to go back to sleep, saying sufficient action is taken when it's not.
In 2021, let's change this!
