Their larvae are see-through.
They can live to be more than 100 years old.

Sometimes balancing life’s activities – working, traveling or giving back to your community – can get overwhelming, but sometimes you can do it all at the beach!

See what it’s like to volunteer at Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, helping collect data on baby sea turtles.

More extreme weather is a known outcome of global heating. Communities need good, timely forecasts to be prepared. Cutting scientific programmes and weather forecasting services to save money costs lives.

Countries in the Global South are buckling under the weight of used clothing being imported every year from the Global North, which put a strain on their waste management systems.

It's time fast fashion switched up their model for the sake of people and planet.

The climate crisis is making extreme weather WORSE and more frequent.
We need to urgently act. Big polluters should pay to fix the damage.

We demand a Global #PlasticsTreaty that:

• Cuts plastic production by at least 75% by 2040
• Ends single-use plastics and harmful chemicals
• Sets global targets to scale up reuse systems
• Ensures fair and effective treaty financing
• Prioritises Indigenous Rights and human rights

Let’s end the age of plastic! - Greenpeace International

I support a strong Global Plastics Treaty that cuts plastic production so that we can finally turn off the tap and end the age of plastic - for our communities, our country, and our planet. Join me

Political dysfunction in Northern Ireland is halting progress www.irishpost.com/comment/poli...
For the sake of peace, agreement was reached that pro-British Unionism and Irish Nationalism should govern jointly. So, we have a duopoly and it is horribly inefficient.
