Comment 🌳🌳🌳 if you want to see more trees less pavement in your city!
What determines if you'll survive a heatwave? One factor: your proximity to green spaces, which is increasingly reserved for the rich and the privileged.
Extreme Heat events affect the vulnerable the most. This must change. Early warning systems for Heatwaves will never be enough to save lives.
We need:
✅Access for all to cool, accessible indoor spaces
✅Mandate max temperatures for residential buildings (force landlords to put in cooling systems)
✅More trees and green spaces
✅Less cars! More walkable/bikeable cities with free and efficient public transportation
✅Biodiversity protection, save the ecosystems that cool the climate and capture carbon (old growth forests, grasslands, wetlands, etc).
✅Quit fossil fuels
These changes needs to happen literally right now, before thousands more human beings – and animals – die in climate change-fuelled hell weather. What are our elected representatives doing (besides have multiple meetings with fossil fuel lobbysits on a daily basis 🙄)? Blah blah blah. That's what.

The difference between 1.5C, 2C or 3-4C average global warming can sound marginal. In fact, they represent vastly different scenarios for the future of humanity.
The frequency of disasters, the survival of plants and animals, the spread of diseases, the stability of our global climate system and - ultimately - the possibility for humanity to survive on this planet hinge on these few degrees.
Today, we still have the chance to meet the 1.5C goal mentioned in the Paris Agreement. We can still protect ourselves from the worst climate impacts and begin to shape a healthier future. But we are rapidly approaching irreversible climate tipping points.
This is why the climate conference #COP26 in November is so important for the global fight against climate change. Countries must conclude outstanding items regarding the implementation of the Paris Agreement and lay the ground for a transformational decade of climate action in the 2020’s. #ItsPossible

It’s not us. It’s: Exxon Mobil, Dow, Sinopec, Indorama Ventures, Saudi Aramco, PetroChina, LyondellBasell, Reliance Industries Ltd, Braskem, Alpek SA de CV. (Plastic Waste Makers Index, 2021)
In the past few decades, the fossil fuel industry launched campaigns making us feel responsible for climate change so they don’t have to. From recycling programs to the carbon footprint calculator, and countless advertisements, these campaigns have been designed to put the blame on anyone but them.
For #PlasticFreeJuly we are going to the source of the problem and targeting fossil fuels. We are doing this by divesting our money.

AYO @chase HERE IS WHAT WE WANT🗣📢
📣 DEMAND 1: Immediately end financial support for fossil fuel expansion🛢🚫
Publicly end all financial services for any corporation or project that is engaged in expanding the extraction, production, or transportation of fossil fuels. This includes the Dakota Access pipeline, Enbridge’s Line 3, Equitrans LP’s Mountain Valley Pipeline, TC Energy’s Coastal GasLink pipeline and many other shale fracking & offshore drilling projects.
📣 DEMAND 2: Phase out and prohibit financial support for all fossil fuels💰😡
Publicly commit to a rapid phase-out of financial services for all fossil fuel corporations on an explicit timeline aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5 °C. Adopt a permanent “No Fossil Fuel” policy that prohibits any future financial services for fossil fuel corporations.
📣 DEMAND 3: Phase out and prohibit financial support for deforestation🌲🌳
Publicly commit to a rapid phase-out of financial services for any corporation that has not committed to zero deforestation, and do so on an explicit timeline aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5 °C. Adopt a permanent “No Deforestation” policy that prohibits any future financial services for any corporation that has not committed to zero deforestation.
📣 DEMAND 4: Uphold Indigenous rights and sovereignty✊🏾🌎
Adopt a permanent policy that prohibits financial services for any project or entity that does not respect Indigenous treaty rights and does not obtain “Free, Prior, and Informed Consent” of the tribal communities concerned (as articulated in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples).
📣DEMAND 5: Take accountability for compliance📑🗣
Create a permanent independent third party mechanism to audit and verify the implementation of these policies.

📣NYC ACTION ALERT📣
The world is burning & megabanks are throwing fuel on the fire🌍🔥 Frontline communities🏘, scientists👩🏽🔬, and youth✊🏾 are urgently calling to keep fossil fuels in the ground. Yet megabanks like JPMorgan Chase are choosing to fund and enable massive new fossil fuel projects like the Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota, with no signs of slowing down😡🛢☢️
On May 17th, young people are rising up for JP Morgan Chase’s 2022 Annual General Meeting. In the midst of the financial industry’s shareholder season, youth climate organizers are calling on shareholders to call out Chase’s greenwashing and inadequate climate policies by voting in favor of the proposed resolution to end fossil fuel expansion. Passing this resolution would mean no more pipelines, mines, refineries, etc funded by Chase🏭🏭
We are calling on YOUNG BLACK, INDIGENOUS, POC, QUEER FOLK, GRASSROOTS ORGANIZERS, SHAREHOLDERS, FIRST-TIME ORGANIZERS, and SEASONED CLIMATE LEADERS to join us at JPMorgan Chase HQ in New York City to:
⚠️DEMAND AN END TO FOSSIL FUEL EXPANSION⚠️
WHO: Youth climate organizers and their allies across the country✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
WHAT: Youth-led action at Chase headquarters that is highly visible, eye-catching, and most importantly disrupts business as usual in order to initiate change!🚨💥🚧
WHERE: At Chase’s home base! 383 Madison Ave, New York City, NY 🏙
WHEN: 10:00 AM Eastern Time☀️

Energy, energy, energy. We certainly can’t live without it, yet our need for it seems intertwined with destruction. Germany has long depended on coal for its energy production, and though the government has ambitious and accelerated goals for the country’s transition from fossil fuels to renewables, it won’t be able to phase out coal completely until 2030 at the earliest. In western Germany near Cologne there’s an open-cast coal mine called Garzweiler that supplies lignite coal to the nearby Neurath power plant that is the second biggest emitter of CO2 in Europe. The mine covers 31 square kilometers and produces about 35-40 million tons of coal a year. Villages have been razed and residents forcibly resettled since the outset. Today that process is continuing, with what’s left of the hamlets of Lützerath and Immerath to very likely disappear within the near future. Five more villages, including Keyenberg, are slated for demolition, though remaining residents are hopeful they will be spared after all. In Lützerath a lone farmer, Eckhardt Heukamp, was holding out, but finally moved out following a court decision a few weeks ago. Activists remain in a camp in Lützerath that includes tree houses and will likely put up a struggle against eviction. #gettyimages#gettyimagesnews#photojournalism#coal#energiewende#alledoerferbleiben#luetzerath#garzweiler#tagebau#coalmine#fossilfuels#globalwarming#climatechange#rwe#dji#instadrone#djimavic2pro#kohleausstieg#braunkohle
