592 pilot whales hunted in the Faroe Islands this year—many of the carcasses were barely touched and disposed back in the ocean. This senseless slaughter doesn’t belong in the modern world. The Government of the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴

Vast swaths of rainforests are razed to make way for palm oil plantations. Palm oil is cheap, odorless and found in 1/2 of products on supermarket shelves. But C16 Biosciences created an alternative called Torula Oil, which is already being adopted by many large brands.

Yamaha Outboards iHeartRadio Coca-Cola and NOAA Fisheries all support the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo, an event that slaughters sharks, then discards their entire carcass back into the ocean, untouched. How is this kind of event still legal in the US?

South America is on fire, experiencing drought conditions that haven’t been seen since 1902, and the Amazon River has reached levels that are sending shockwaves across the globe. #climatechange abcnews.go.com/International/…

South America, historically, has never had wildfires-it's too humid & wet. What we’re witnessing is caused by humans, who are setting fires to clear land to raise cattle. Cattle needed to meet the global demand for beef. Please help us raise awareness. #ecocide

ALL 12 countries in South America are on fire, and for the most part, cattle ranchers are to blame. Estimates suggest that 80% of deforestation in the Amazon is due to cattle ranching and related activities like soy farming for animal feed. #animalagriculture #ecocide
