One of my most favourite photographers in the world is @paulnicklen who took this amazing photo of a baby sea lion on his recent expedition to the Galapogos Islands.⁠ ⁠ When we see how beautiful nature is, how amazing our world is, how can we not want to look after this beautiful planet of ours?⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #wholesomehub #saveourseas #cleanoceans #plasticfreejuly #leadonclimate #zerowaste #climatereality #sustainablefuture #ethicalbusiness #climatechangeisreal #beinconvenient #waronwaste #waronwasteau #greenhouseemissions #protectourplanet #zerowastecollective #climateaction #climatechange #environmentalprotection #greenplanet #plasticfreeliving #wastefree #noplanetb #ecowarriors #earthwarriors #environmentallyconscious #plasticfreeliving #plasticfreejuly2019 #naturephotography #nature ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

⁣Fin, noggin', duuude. ⠀ ⠀ Turtles? Very cute. Marine plastics? ‍♀️ Not so cute.⠀ ⠀ Globally, approximately one third of marine turtles have likely ingested debris, and this has increased since plastic production began in the 1950s.⠀ ⠀ In addition to ingesting debris, there is also the issue of entanglement. We estimate that between 5,000 & 15,000 turtles have been killed in the Gulf of Carpentaria after becoming caught in derelict fishing nets.⠀ ⠀ The most effective way to reduce and mitigate the harmful effects of marine debris? To prevent it from entering the marine environment in the first place. ⠀ ⠀ And we can all do our part. ⠀ ⠀ Working together we can make significant strides to reduce marine debris impacts in coastal areas and in the marine environment: www.csiro.au/plastics⠀ ⠀ #PlasticFreeJuly #csiro #plasticfree #saynotoplastic #sustainablelifestyle #cleanoceans #environmentalprotection #greenplanet

Around the world we don't know exactly how many animals we kill each year. It's also a subject that often makes people feel instantly defensive - and yet it's a number we rarely think about. We understand people get emotional about this and that the topic can be nuanced (certainly we don't advocate every single human must stop eating meat; Indigenous peoples eat meat sustainably and many millions rely on it for survival and eat it locally without any factory farming or chemicals). Most of us though can agree that our industrial agriculture rates and environmental destruction due to this are absolutely out of control. ⁠ ⁣⠀⁠ The New York Times recently reported that 65 billion chickens are consumed each year. The general estimate of land animals killed for food each year is 70 - 120 billion (given the NYT article, it would be toward this higher end). Other research shows anywhere from 800 billion to 2.3 trillion wild fish are killed each year. Up to 200 billion farmed fish are killed. That's just the common animals of mass we eat. The majority of land animals for our food are from factory farms (generally 90% or higher depending on the animal type though cattle can be 75%+ depending on the country).⁣⠀⁠ ⁣⠀⁠ With 7 billion humans on our globe, if we ate humans at a rate anywhere near this we'd be dead, dead rather quick! Within a couple of weeks our species would likely be gone. We're heading toward 10 - 11 billion people and the richer people get, the more 'western' their diets become, the more red meat they eat. ⁣⠀⁠ ⁣⠀⁠ If we all sat and thought deeply on how we go about eating animals we'd all come to a fairly similar consensus in our current environment. We encourage you to read up on factory farming, the industrialized food system and listen to The Green Pill on the Ezra Klein show. Ezra is great at talking rationally about complex topics and even where you don't agree, listening to him really helps in working out how we can speak about things constructively.⁣ Also, @iquitwaste speaks about food systems really well. This is a fight against the industrialization of food (meat production & monocropping); let's make sure our energies are focussed on that.⁠

Out of all the things the US president has done, selling plastic straws is not the worst, by far. But it is symbolic. It is symbolic as much as not using plastic straws is (if that’s accessible for you). ⁠ ⁠ We know this won’t save the world from ourselves. It’s a starter. None of us here tend to jump in with people who don’t have much exposure to conservation with talk on soil degradation, climate justice or environmental policy. We work our way up to it. And plastics in our oceans, rivers and lands are a major, species threatening issue. It takes a lot to be able to swallow any guilt or empathy away when looking at suffering animals & humans due to plastic-for-convenience.⁠ ⁠ It might start with somebody hearing straws are a problem. They might go and research more. They might stumble on the low-waste movement. They might ask one of their friends. They might try #plasticfreejuly. They might read blogs and learn about ableism. They might learn that plastics are made from fossil fuels. They might learn about alternatives and monocrops. That might lead them to the food industry. They might travel and see plastic pollution everywhere. They might start to dig into why it’s so much more visible and stumble into capitalism, equity, poverty and environmental racism. They can read on the problems with recycling. And on.⁠ ⁠ Opting out of single-use plastic is opting out of the system that says you need it & you can’t change it. Opting out gives us agency. It makes us assess what we’re consuming and reduce. And reducing is where consumer magic lies. ⁠ ⁠ Selling/buying plastic straws when there are reusable alternatives or the choice to use none because you openly despise those who are concerned for the environment whilst limiting every policy move on positive action for climate change, biodiversity & pollution and reversing numerous others, is a deep level of illness. ⁠ ⁠ These things are served to distract us from the bigger problems. If straws are what gets you into environmentalism that’s been ideal (it’s a great way to get kids involved too). We ALL start somewhere and must quickly realize it doesn't end there. We have to start and accelerate progress. Stay focussed.

Let’s save our Mother Earth before it’s too late. Let’s use indigenous materials instead of using plastics. The evidence of our plastics crisis is everywhere. It's in the scattered debris lying on beaches the length of our coastline. It's on the banks of our rivers, and in the habitats of the diverse wildlife that make their homes in our waterways. It's in the waste that we leave out for our councils to collect each month, and in the conflicts about how often it should be collected. It's in our all-too-often laissez-faire approach to recycling, and the uncomfortable frequency of stories about how recyclable waste going astray . It's on the shelves of our supermarkets, and in the mindblowing quantity of surplus packaging we all plough through each week in the course of feeding ourselves and our families. This isn't something we can ignore because it's far away or on a nature documentary. This is a global issue, and a local one. A future problem, and a current one. And the only way we fix it is by all taking responsibility for how we use plastic, how we dispose of plastic, and how we take action for the damage we've already done. We at urbanigs do not only promote locally made products but we are also promoting plastic free country where we utilise our natural resources by creating a masterpiece that can replace plastic usage. We are also an advocate of protecting endangered species to ensure that the next generations will be able to still see and enjoy those animals. Together let’s make a difference by using indigenous materials and do our part in saving the environment and to stop killings of animals for commercial usage.

Did you know that the poorest half of our global population are responsible for only around 10% of global emissions yet live overwhelmingly in the countries most vulnerable to climate change – whilst the richest 10% of people in the world are responsible for around 50% of global emissions? Really take that in. The richest people are responsible for HALF. We will get into companies soon but suffice to say there are just a few companies responsible for a major share of our emissions too.

Recycling has many benefits when done right and it can be an exciting industry with new innovations. It conserves finite natural resources and reduces the amount of waste that is burnt or buried (still crazy to think we dig & drill for so much of our natural resources to then just throw it away). One of the most valuable benefits of recycling is the savings in energy, greenhouse gases and pollution that result when scrap materials are substituted for virgin. ⁠ ⁠ Recycling aluminium, for example, can reduce energy consumption by as much as 95%, for plastics this is around 70% (remember these are generally downcycled a number of times then end up in landfill), 60% for steel, 40% for paper and 30% for glass. Recycling also reduces emissions of pollutants that can cause smog, acid rain and the contamination of waterways. ⁠ ⁠ BUT - and it's a big one - our recycling systems are in crisis. Certain countries are struggling badly having always shipped their items to China and other developing countries that have now closed, or are closing, their doors (and sending rubbish back). The already highly imperfect systems are in disarray. Recycling is being dumped in landfill or burned instead, companies are folding dramatically and faith in the system is low. Recycling education in a number of countries like America & Australia is also largely very poor.⁠ ⁠ There's a lot to be said on fixing this problem but firstly, we cannot recycle our way out of this. We all consume way too much stuff and recycling is not a perfect option. It still requires an enormous amount of resources and energy too. Wherever possible, cut down first (precycle). That is the only way we're going to start to make a dent in this issue. Reduce, reduce, reduce. Buy home compostable, natural materials where you can when buying new. Reuse constantly. And when you're lowering your waste, include your recycling in that and see if the accumulation of that can also drastically decrease alongside what you send to landfill. We need circular design of products, but we also first need to acknowledge our consumption and system failures. This is one.

If even a tire affects animals this size, imagine what a net can do... Anyway, happy ending for the deal because of these brave people!
