Climate & Music - Sea Us Rise is an environmental nonprofit that inspires climate action with music. We are based in St. Petersburg, Florida & Petersborough, UK. Do you know artists making music about the planet? Submit at Seausrise.org
Brilliant use of nostalgia and familiarity to question why it is okay to push harmful things onto the public. The only way polluters will change is to hurt their income (until elected leaders grow backbones and regulate them properly).
"For the Southwark campaign, Bonner channelled the golden age of cigarette advertising, repurposing the cheery glamour of vintage tobacco marketing to expose how the same manipulative tactics are used today to normalise pollution."

Crafting global legislative guard rails for mariculture now could ensure that the world's growing demand for more seafood doesn't end up killing marine life. How does this get started? Which environmental groups get ahead of this? #mariculture #feedtheworld #fishfarming
Can the world farm more seafood with less impact?
A new study says the answer is yes. But the best-case scenario sits on a knife-edge of three factors: Location, location, location.

We don't have to be bombarded by ads for stuff that kills the planet.
🌍 What do global cities such as Amsterdam, Stockholm and Edinburgh all have in common?

These major cities have ALL banned fossil fuel adverts. These ads have massive climate and health impacts, all while targeting politically influential decision makers.

Metal bands have always had something to say about the climate crisis. Torture Squad takes that to new heights with Magnum Chaos. Turn it up LOUD if you need to blow off some steam (use your headphones if at work!).

The climate movement is inseparable from the other political winds. COP30 might end up different than the lobbyists want. Adding the citizens track is a great step (and we're gobsmacked that it hasn't existed before).

The North has exploited the Global South for centuries & are getting called out on it. Tremendous innovations are coming from south of the equator, since those countries are already bearing the brunt of environmental degradation. Will anything substantive come out of COP30?

PFAS are in the Everglades, showing up for the first time in measurable samples. They're in rainwater, tapwater, & tasty oysters too. Everglades restoration doesn't currently include ridding the waters of PFAS. Regulating chemicals (like phosphorus) would help. #everglades #PFAS #savetheeverglades

The co-author of a new paper says the presence of PFAS on the Everglades reservation of the Miccosukee Tribe suggests more restoration may be necessary in the river of grass.

The game-changer aspect of this is that existing parking lots have to comply as well, not just new ones. Good job, South Korea!

Yet another reason why drilling in the Gulf is a horrible idea. For every Drill Drill Drill there is a Kill Kill Kill.

While Florida's coastline might be (supposedly) exempt from drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, that doesn't protect our state, the Gulf, other states, our economies, or the planet. #greedy
Donald Trump administration says offshore drilling ‘on the table’; Florida reportedly exempted in leaked docs
But portions of the Gulf and coastlines on the Atlantic north of Florida could all soon open to exploration.
