There's still time to tell Customs and Border Protection to stop #BorderWall construction in critical #Jaguar habitat and prevent irreversible harm to precious borderlands ➡️ bit.ly/3LbCCjI
The agency has discretion over where and how it builds — but they need a push from you.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

"Like a bunch of gangsters": 100+ nations were set to approve a historic plan to slash pollution from cargo ships. Then the US stepped in. Diplomats were stunned by “nasty” and “very personal” threats, including blacklisting, financial penalties, tariffs, sanctions, and the revocation of US visas.
