A picture speaks a thousand words. Polar bears rely on the ice to hunt for food, warmer weather due to global warming means less availability of food. For polar bears, it’s survival of the fattest. That’s because fatter bears have a better chance of surviving the ice free summer when food is scarce. No ice means no polar bears. And that’s not a world I want to live in.

Did you know humans have only been around for ~200,000 years?
•
The Industrial Revolution started in the 1800s... We’ve accomplished so much in that short time, but we have also acted irresponsibly in regards to our environment.
•
This time frame shows our responsibility as caretakers for the only planet we have. #ActOnClimate

I learned so many things on my 40 day expedition in Tibet climbing Everest/Chomolungma. Every step of the journey was hard – from fundraising, to packing, to getting there and then the climbing. On this day, climbing to camp 1 at 23,000’/7,000m, I had to remember not to waste precious mental energy thinking about the “shouda woulda coulda,” and to be happy where I was. It’s a lesson I’m continuing to practice as I rehab my ACL after surgery: finding happiness and satisfaction in the present moment.
Thank you so much for all the positive messages and support. I can’t wait to re-edit the Rylo video where I tore my ACL with the ending of being on the summit of Everest! @rylo #StoriesThatMove
Veggies and fruits come in their own natural packaging, why smother them in plastic? This is a great initiative on cutting down on plastic packaging for useless things like produce. Not only is plastic packaging bad for our environment, but it leaks harmful chemicals into our food.

Our world is drying up. Today's global desertification crisis affects more than 165 countries. Drought, climate change, biodiversity erosion, intensive farming and poor water management are behind the crisis.
This situation has a dramatic impact on our common environmental heritage and is a threat to global peace and sustainable development.
Desertification and drought increase water scarcity, at a time when two billion peoplestill do not have access to safe drinking water – and over three billion may have to confront a similar situation by 2050. The world’s most vulnerable communities cannot fulfil essential water needs, sometimes causing them to migrate from lands that have become dry and barren.
According to the Secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, 135 million people are likely to migrate worldwide by 2030 as a result of the deterioration of lands. These migrations and deprivations are in turn a source of conflict and instability, demonstrating that desertification is a crucial challenge to peace.
Today, on World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, we launch an urgent call: we all must take immediate action against desertification. It is our responsibility towards future generations. Together, let's grow a sustainable future by respecting our lands and preserving their abundance and beauty. We can and we must.

•
Polar bears are starving and could face extinction faster than previously thought. As a result of climate change, the sea ice in the Arctic is melting and forcing the Bears to travel further and use more energy to catch their prey.
•
Stand up for them by spreading awareness, attract more people to join the cause and upgrade our culture into one that cares about our home and the species living on it.
