From the first #EarthDay: Students in St. Louis marched wearing masks to protest smog and air pollution.

The inaugural 1970 protests drew millions, and led to the creation of the EPA and clean air standards.

With science under greater attack than ever, we need more of this activism today!

THEY DID IT!!!!

My local library built the seed library!

The local Master Gardeners provided a lot of the intitial seeds (oh my gosh we are stocked!!!). They used an old card catalogue to store them. Today's the kickoff!

The idea is you "check out seeds" from the library, plant/grow/harvest, let some go to seed, then "return the seeds" back to the library!

Free seeds for everyone!

It’s #EarthDay & I’m giving a talk all about the global food system & its impact on the environment.

The agricultural sector is one of the most significant + immediately scalable places to have impact.

Since my talk isn’t public, here’s a great piece from @globalecoguy & the good folks at Project Drawdown. drawdown.org/news/insights/how…

How food and farming will determine the fate of planet Earth

Agriculture has disrupted the planet more than anything we have ever done, including burning fossil fuels. A sustainable future depends on recognizing this fact – and radically changing how we farm and eat.

^{Project Drawdown}

The day before this year's #EarthDay two #juststopoil protestors were given outrageous and extreme prison sentences.

Morgan Trowland was jailed for three years and Marcus Decker for two years and seven months.

The presiding Judge Shane Collery KC said to the pair, you "plainly believed you knew better" than other people and were thinking "to hell with everyone else".

Future times will record them as pioneers. The Judge's comments will be forgotten.

What was it like when Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders saw Earth rise over the Moon’s horizon in 1968?
