We need policies to keep soil alive and ensure #foodsecurity. Take action at ConsciousPlanet.org/save-soil
Healthy soil is imperative for carbon sequestration otherwise there is a release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere contributing to climate change.

On the eve of a key biodiversity summit in the UAE, scientists have issued a fresh warning about the health of bird populations, with 61% of assessed species now recording declines in their numbers.

The only reason.

People are silenced when they protest, and even jailed.

Abducted from peaceful missions whilst trying to provide aid.

Manipulated from feeling empathy, when we see injustice

Is so the world knows We allow our voices, our actions and our opinions to be owned.

I think this is why, the injustice towards nations like Palestine, and Congo pains something so deep within us.

Even though this modern world is trying to push us further and further towards apathy we must not let it.

I believe we feel something is deeply wrong. Not just because it is horrible. And heartbreaking.

Disturbing. But because we know, this is our chance to show, as people. We can't allow this to happen.

Today it's Palestine.

Today it's Congo. Tomorrow it's someone else. And it is not ok.

Allowing someone else's rights to be taken away, is allowing the same to happen to yours.

EMERGENCY: ISRAEL ATTACKS GSF
Israel has attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters. People of conscience have been abducted.
The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and the Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.
