You are Nature 🌳💚

With species protection laws being dismantled in favour of 'build baby build', it's more important than ever to pass a Strong Nature Protection Law >> act.gp/449j31P

Protect what protects us 🌎

"Now, [the #ONgov has] officially legislated climate denial. It leaves Ontario with no plan, no targets and no accountability. We’re sailing into the storm of climate catastrophe with no compass, no map and no leadership. And it will cost us all."

A new op-ed in @oceanographicmag.bsky.social by DSCC Executive Director Sian Owen highlights a critical gap in the outcomes of COP30: the deep sea. 🔽
#COP30 #DefendTheDeep #DeepSea
COP30 elevated the ocean, bringing it closer to the heart of the global climate agenda, but the deep sea – everything below 200 metres and making up roughly 90% of the ocean – stayed buried in the margins. oceanographicmagazine.com/features/cop...
COP30 overlooked the deep ocean, protecting it must be a priority
The Maldivian government reopened gulper shark fishing, carving a species-level exemption that weakens both protections and reputations.

📢 For the first time in over a decade, Canada has been shamed at #COP30 as the “Fossil of the Day” — the most dishonourable award given during COPs to the countries “who are the best at being the worst and doing the most to do the least.”

Wind, solar and conservation are all cheaper and cleaner options.
Local hydro bills get 29% larger starting this month, though most of that will be hidden in the taxpayer-financed Ontario Electricity Rebate. We all pay through the teeth for these high-cost US reactors & fuel that Doug Ford insists on importing.

"When IUCN Members gather in October, the world will be watching. What is decided will echo through the UN General Assembly, through the BBNJ Agreement, through RFMOs, and through our future ocean." Indeed!
Two motions at #IUCNcongress could mark a turning point for deep-sea protection.

Motions 032 & 035 call for real action to safeguard vulnerable ecosystems & deliver on decades of global promises.

💰 Enbridge pulled in $1.3 B from #Ontario ratepayers in the first half of 2025 — a 27.5% jump.

Profits climb while families pay more for fossil fuels.

Time to shift investments to affordable, #renewable energy. 🌬️☀️
