World Earth Day 2024: A call to action against climate change | Latest English News | WION

I know it seems insurmountable… multiple cascading tipping points. But do not underestimate this earth. It is trying to balance itself out and will continue to create harsh and terrible events in order to do so. What we can do is simple. Live simply, reduce use, support companies already sustainable or with hard lines towards carbon emissions reductions. Do whatever yiu can to learn soil regeneration and support farmers implementing regenerative practices. Lower meat consumption and choose meat manufacturing that supports sustainability. Limit or cut out seafood. Every purchase you make is a vote. Plant whatever you can, even if it is just a pollinator friendly flower on a porch or windowsill… and don't give up ever. It is grim yes, but look at how quickly the air cleared in northern India and Thailand after just a few months of covid lockdowns. People could see the Himalayas from northern India for the first time in over a decade. It is possible to heal but we need an ecological revolution in order to succeed. Above all, put 🌎 first.

I plant native long-term species that may never benefit me directly. I study permaculture and TEK (traditional ecological knowledge), which the indigenous peoples have known and shared for centuries, and I install, apply, and help the area I can help. I focus on soil regeneration, putting back the natives that have been taken and growing food for wildlife instead of running the wildlife off for my own food. I plant species that support insect life, pollinators, and birds, and I have spent a lot of money doing this.

Don't buy The Climate Lie!

Ignoring the fact that unless all animal agriculture ends there is no chance to save the planet as it is the biggest emitter, largest cause of deforestation, habitat loss, water pollution, ocean dead zones.
