🧵🧪🏆🥇We've done it! We've raised atmospheric CO₂ concentrations to the point where, for the first time in human history, they have exceeded 430 ppm every day for a full week. It had become fairly certain that we'd reach this landmark sometime this month, but even so it's a fairly sobering moment.

#farm of the Day! Costa Rica Coffee+ Zero Deforestation! Much more than just 1 farm, "this project will directly benefit more than 2,678 coffee producers, 304 coffee mills, and 93 exporting companies," (Tico Times). mmmm! Enjoy! #coffee #trees #holdontoyourwallet coffeevibe.org/best-costa-r...

#Farm of the Day! Cool Runnings Organic Farm is #veteranowned and providing pasture-raised meats, Tropical Fruits, and Produce to the #Miami area! They look like an antidote to any ills coming from that area. coolrunningsorganicfarms.com#supportsmall... #smallfarms #plantseeds

WATCH: “I voted for my own job loss. Like a damn fool. I ain’t ashamed to admit it. I won’t do that again.”

#TrumpVsFederalWorkers

The Dept of Transportation has ordered a review of federal funding for bike lanes and plans to target recent projects that “improve the condition for environmental justice communities or actively reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

Marjory Stoneman Douglas fought for both environmental justice and human rights. She protected migrant farm workers and pushed for indoor plumbing in segregated Miami neighborhoods. "She had a tongue like a switchblade and the moral authority to make things happen." #TheMarchContinues

#Farm of the Day series is to highlight helpful #smallbusiness. It gives alternatives to the companies who funded politicians seen causing harm in recent news. For example, if a politician with campaign funds from Brown Forman acts destructively, then I will post an alternate source of whiskey.

#Farm of the Day! Georgia Organic Peanut Growers works with Koinonia Farm, "a local sustainable farm and intentional community outside of Americus, GA founded to promote peace & overcome racial divisions in the South. It is also the birthplace of Habitat for Humanity." koinoniafarmstore.com/peanuts/

Happy Monday! Just want to send appreciation and support for the #handsoff demonstrators and everyone participating in #democracy! My #smallbusiness goals are to support positive change. I put more content on my personal account and trust that our common values will unite us as needed. #plantseeds

FLORIDA!!!!

The Villages have elections TUESDAY!!!

There are races for trustee and justice! Justice is unopposed, but if you don’t like the candidate, Peter Bartlett, make sure to write someone in so he doesn’t get 100% of the vote!

Remember, we have to vote in every election no matter how small!

No due process. Defying a court order.

In The New Climate, @nealhaddaway.bsky.social reports on a new study from Adrift Lab finding plastic ingestion in seabird chicks associated with organ failure. What could this mean for life on Earth, including humans? #PlasticPollution

This regime is using food insecurity as a weapon.

The cruelty astounds.

Last year, NC received $25 million from the US Dept. of Transportation to build underpasses on Highway 64 - an announcement that was widely celebrated. Vehicle collisions are a leading threat to critically endangered Red Wolves, + underpasses are seen as a potential solution.
