did you know that baleen whales can store, on average, up to 33 tons of carbon dioxide? whale f***s is also highly productive for the ocean ecosystem! full of iron and other nutrients that phytoplankton rely on to bloom. (power to the poops!)

to protect and restore whale populations is to help revitalize oceans suffering from rising temperatures and acidity levels.

rather than looking outside nature for climate-related solutions, perhaps we turn inward — to existing natural systems and indigenous stewards of both land AND ocean. 🌊💛

happy Wednesday! with collective environmental action, our future is as bright as these dahlias! how are you incorporating collective environmental action into your routine?🌍🌞🌻

psst! here’s some recs from your fav pals:

* knowledge is power - stay informed, share knowledge and discuss climate issues with your friends and coworkers.
* vote with the climate in mind.
* get involved in local politics - attend talks and debates; ask your representatives about how they are addressing climate change.

have you listened to the ? kamea 🌺] keeps us learning and inspired with her critical, intersectional analysis of topics of environmentalism!

“a simple transition from a fossil-fuel dependent economy to a “green energy” powered economy, without uprooting the extractive system itself, will just shift the geopolitics of resource conflicts—away from oil-rich regions to mineral-rich ones.” - kamea 🌺]

How do you view the relationship between individual and collective action?

Though many efforts encouraging sustainable change have been directed towards the individual (which makes sense in a hyper-individualistic, consumer society), we can fall into a trap of isolation and passive consumption.

To effect meaningful positive change, we must encourage collectivism and political action just as much (if not more) than individual change.

Rather, to view the world as the highly interconnected ecosystem we’re apart of💛

tips to make your garden a pollinator paradise 🌱🪴🌿

• plant native plants to support local ecosystems and relationships
• create water sources around your yard for bees, butterflies and birds to stay hydrated (but make sure they have a shallow or sloping side so they don’t drown!)
• incorporate different canopy levels so pollinators can be protected from predators and harsh weather

native pollinators are vital to the success of our gardens, yards, crops and green spaces. learning about the pollinators in your local area can give you an insider look at how the ecosystems operate - plus help your garden flourish and promote biodiversity!

we already a week into plastic-free july and we challenge all of the community to do a ~trash audit~

“what’s a trash audit?” you ask? well, it’s just that—take a look in your trash and see what you can do better. pick through it. realize what’s heavily packaged, where you can decrease your waste and overall plastic consumption.

the goal is to understand the waste you’re creating at home and make a plan on how *you* can do better. because remember— “we don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.” ~Anne Marie Bonneau
