On #ZeroEmissionsDay let's commit to real solutions: ending fossil fuels, not just offsetting them.

Real zero means cutting emissions at the source, not relying on carbon credits.
It's time for action, not more false solutions.

The Montreal Protocol united the world to protect the ozone layer, now we must reduce carbon emissions at source by keeping fossil fuels in the ground! We can’t afford to wait any longer… the time to act is NOW. #ZeroEmissions #EndFossilFuels #KeepInTheGround

Today, we celebrate the Amazon Rainforest! Spanning 60% of Brazil’s land, the Amazon holds nearly a third of the world’s remaining tropical rainforests.

With its glory it still faces constant threats from industries and development, including deforestation for farming, timber, mining, and more.
