“We are in the midst of a climate emergency. Yet this emergency is being over-shadowed by political paralysis. Clean air, water and a healthy environment should not be a partisan issue.”
.
Are you, like me, sick of political apathy preventing humankind from achieving substantive global change in the area of renewable energy? Then come on, glorious people! Together, we can do something about it.
.
Based on your interest and as promised last week, I’ve written a lobby email stating the case for renewable energy, in order for you brilliantly conscious change-makers to send to your local council-people, state members and federal politicians.
.
Sooo . . . Step 1) Click on the link in my bio. Step 2) Copy and paste the info into an email. Step 3) Fill in the blanks. Step 4) Voilà! You’re a kick-ass activist, who has enacted positive change and I love you! Weeeeoooo!!
.
“When the people lead, the leaders will follow.” So come on, bromies, let’s lead already!

(P.S. I am aiming to send this link directly to those who DMed me - sorry I still haven’t responded to all of you yet! ✊)
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that it’s literally impossible to have all three kids looking at the camera at the same time!
.
P.S. To all you incredible humans that said YES to sending an email to your local reps to insist they commit to renewable energy - THANK YOU! I quite literally love you!! I will have the email ready for you, by the end of this week and we can knock this one out, like a bunch of boss-cats! (Incidentally, sorry I haven’t acknowledged all the DMs yet - but I see you, you extreme dudes you, and I will respond ASAP!) ✊

(1/2) Last week, my husband and I were at @climatereality leadership training, with the inspirational @algore and many, incredible activists and positive change-makers - and while strictly speaking this **isn’t** their official tagline, it’s totally what they mean, ammiright? I’m not sure I can begin to tell you how inspirational and motivating I found the whole experience - yet I will certainly try! . What began with a focus on modern science and the cause and effect of the climate emergency, quickly shifted gears into something much more substantial, and near and dear to my heart: the people of climate change, the faces of climate inaction, and the solutions to fix the problems. . As the climate emergency continues to heat up (literally) we are beginning to see a much-needed disturbance in the force of science, politics and economics. Every day it becomes abundantly clear that to fix this shit up, we need to fix “democracy” and accept the fact that the existing model is simply not working. . It’s no secret that the world’s oldest civilisations, Indigenous people, and First Nations people are the ones most-adversely affected by the climate emergency, even though they were clearly the least to contribute to it. Torres Strait, on the Northern tip of Australia, is seeing the devastation of our climate inaction every single day. The Dead Sea is shrinking at a rate of around four feet each year. The Maldives, the lowest-lying country in the world, risks vanishing entirely as climbing tides are already displacing locals. . There is a new vision defining how we can preserve a viable ecosystem for humankind, and how we get there. The vision begins with science - and then it takes flight via WE THE PEOPLE! Incremental change is not enough. Not even close! We need to uproot the systems in place and implement world-wide change in economical, political and societal behaviours and models, i.e. fundamental, systematic change! .
It’s so strange to imagine a simple plastic shopping bag - one you’ve used a thousand times - and then comprehend all the utter chaos it causes. For example, did you know plastic bags are one of the biggest contributors to the huge amount of plastic found in the Pacific Ocean (known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch) which is estimated to be double the size of Hawaii!?! What in the actual f__k!
.
And you know this symbol - ♻️ - the one we all see on plastic, and think that it means it’s recyclable? Well I hate to tell you this guys, but it actually doesn’t necessarily mean that at all - it **can** mean recycle, or it can simply be indicating the grade and safety of that particular plastic (i.e. this is mostly just greenwashing, which is hella disappointing, right?)
.
Yet fear not, sweet people! Because I have a secret . . . you ready? . . . we don’t have to use plastic bags! Taa-daa! Further chaos, counter-reflected off my super-dooper secret forcefield **piew piew**
.
There are so many good alternatives to plastic bags - like, for example, what the boys are fighting over here (not the baguettes, silly, the thing the baguettes are in!). Created by conscious Bondi-mamas Abi and Clare from @theotherbag, this portable, durable tote is made from ECONYL®️, a 100% regenerated nylon made from abandoned fishing nets and discarded plastics. YAS! Plus some of their other totes are made from CYCLEPET®️, a fabric woven from 100% post consumer plastic bottles. Amazingness bouncing off my grid, into your faces! Baam!
.
Abi and Clare have done everything right with @theotherbag. All bags are manufactured under accredited, ethical conditions; all packaging is recyclable and/or compostable; AND each year a portion of profits are donated to NGO initiative @healthyseas. Brava ladies. You're rad.
.
So, wonderful humans, don’t let the shitty statistics get you down: just be aware of them and counteract them with your knowledge forcefield! **piew piew!** Please check out @theotherbag and consider investing in one of their bags to keep in the back of the car, and in doing so, unfuck some serious shit up
.
Peace out all! < Star Wars Hologram Jo disappears ✨>

Environmental activism comes with extreme bouts of climate related anxiety, depresssion, and defeatism. But today was such a win! It was indescribably soothing to see so many young people show up and show how much they care. I wish I had been so revolutionary when I was in primary school

You all know my love affair with the #giraffe (see kissing videos below). Seriously, who doesn’t love them?...they’re iconic! But I’m not sure we love them enough because in just 15 years populations have dropped by 40% according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation @giraffe_conservation
That’s pretty staggering, and heartbreaking. What would our world be like without #giraffes?
Fortunately, places like #giraffemanor (where I am at in this photo) and @nrdc_org are doing things to help.
For the upcoming Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species conference these organizations are asking you to send the leaders at this conference a clear message.
So, if you have a moment google “NRDC Giraffes need protection now” and you’ll see where you can send them a message.
If the giraffes go, I’ll be so over Homo (not so sapient) sapiens!
