Just the 2 of us ... 33 kilos of nearly sea pollution! Weirdest things: raw burgers, rosary beads and a hurley stick! Way too much plastic, cans and toys tonight! All bins full so not possible to do recycling. The clothes and toys are in the shower hut...claim them quickly 💚🌊🐳 – at Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland

As the #Covid_19 outbreak brings more and more countries to a standstill, there is mounting concern about the impact that the virus could have on vulnerable communities in Africa and Asia.
We're putting plans in place to respond.

Crazy to think it’s been a year since we started our climate journey! In the space of a year the movement has come so far, we’ve had the most amazing opportunities and been involved in incredible projects. Thank you :) Our work is not over, we’ll keep fighting! #ClimateChange

To those who say it's not possible...
“In the 1960s and 70s, Costa Rica had the highest per capita deforestation rate in the world. We have managed not only to stop deforestation but to double forest coverage”

Canvassers called to my house in Tipp today. My sister, who granted does look young, was the only one home. Canvassers handed her a leaflet and asked her to give it to her parents. She's 24. Candidates need to make sure canvassers aren't excluding young people. #GE2020

Dear governments,
If you can afford war, then you can afford solving climate change.
Your excuse to not #ActOnClimate is that it’s “too expensive.” But then when it comes to waging violence, there’s always enough money.
What’s up with that?
Sincerely,
The youth of the world

Dail should sit day and night, if necessary, to get Climate Action Amendment Bill in place before the election...it's critical to maintaining momentum and to scaling up ambition irishtimes.com/news/environm… via @IrishTimes

Let them come to Africa & see the unspoken suffering of people due to climate change, massive droughts that have led to famine, floods, landslides & cyclones that kill hundreds of thousands & millions are displaced. maybe the screams of agony will make them accept the science
To climate deniers: if the deadly fires 🔥 in Australia 🇦🇺 are not enough physical evidence of climate change, tell us what you need to see before you will accept the science. - #climatecrisis #climatebrawl #climatepoli #climatechange

A truly intersectional climate movement must also work on demilitarisation.
The Pentagon is the world's largest consumer of fossil fuels and produces more emissions than Portugal. The Iraq war resulted in 150m tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Climate activists need to oppose war

I was recently asked what keeps me going in my climate activism.
Honestly, I don't know. I suppose doing anything less than what is right is unacceptable to me.
A better question would be what would keep me from doing what is right? What else is there?

“Old people won’t cycle”.
If you plan lousy, dangerous bike lanes, Elderly people probably won’t cycle.
But if you respect your parents and grandparents, and provide safe and comfortable space to walk and cycle, then they will!

“This recent increase in methane is massive,”
“It’s globally significant. It’s contributed to some of the increase in global warming we’ve seen and shale gas is a major player.”

Here's an interesting fact: 15% emission reduction means cutting the equivalent of the total emissions of India, Germany, France, the UK and Italy EVERY YEAR.
2050 targets mean nothing if not coupled with rapid reduction in emissions today. #ClimateEmergency @GretaThunberg

One of my wishes for 2020 is for people to stop asking climate activist how long have you been in activism. It doesn't matter how long rather the impact created in driving the action needed. Everyone is needed in the movement for climate justice.
