ysmad Green Tips
For crying out loud let's do something! If our "leaders" in politics and business are unable to react appropriately to the ongoing destruction, we need to, voluntarily for now. Look up deforestation, overfishing, soil degradation, "mountaintop removal", bycatch, ocean dead zones, desertification, the "sixth mass extinction", coral bleaching, loss of mangroves, shark finning, ocean garbage patches (aka "plastic soup"), wildlife trafficking, poaching, waste dumping, air pollution - you name it - we need to act and change.

Your share here!
Again, here the summarized reason(s) why we should care - from the "Convention on Biological Diversity":
"It is reckless if not downright dangerous to keep chipping away at our life support system. It is unethical to drive other forms of life to extinction, and thereby deprive present and future generations of options for their survival and development." ![]()
