As the Chair of the local #Pride board, I want to convince the Directors that various #BlackLivesMatter #flags, and #antinazi flags, should be available among the other #gender identity and #sexualorientation Pride flags that we sell at Pride events.

What would you say?

Though there are many #heavymetals that #coalmining can release to our #freshwater, #selenium has been noted as a particularly risky #pollutant as it bioaccumulates in the #environment reaching toxic levels for #fish, #animals living in riparian areas, and potentially in agricultural #soils and #plants grown in them. This is a risk not only to human #health and the health of aquatic #ecosystems, but also risks the reputation of our regional agricultural products.

Significant areas of the #EasternSlopes land were opened to coal leases, initiating a widespread response from concerned landowners, environmentalists, and #Indigenous communities. Due to public pressure, the 1976 #Coal #Policy was reinstated in early 2021 after cancelling eleven new coal leases. Four projects were exempted from the Ministerial order, two of which being Benga’s #GrassyMountain and Montem’s Tent Mountain coal projects.

Dear _ ,

🕊️ How do we create your future, where 🌆 people have public conversations that glow with romance, joy, & respect? Nonviolent communication 💬 will be taught in schools, recovery, & everyday life. Maybe I wrote a letter to the school board 📩? 😄 What can I do to share this vision with local organizations & normalize kindness, curiosity, & connection? 💖 Does it happen after someone like me dares to ask for it... #NonViolentCommunication #ClimateRecovery #2SLGBTQIA #UBI #LoveIsRadical 🫶📚🗣️🌍

CPAWS #Alberta opposes the new #Coal Industry Modernization Initiative (CIMI). While it claims to protect waters, it leaves room for controversial projects like #GrassyMountain & Mine 14. CIMI prioritizes industry over public consultation, risking habitat areas. People in Alberta protested before & they/we will protest again to protect the Rockies, ecosystems, & the water that is used for drinking, irrigation, & food processing 🌲💧#NoNewCoal #SaveOurMountains #CPAWS

Dear _ ,

🌱 The healing of the Earth begins now. How can I contribute to a ban of hazardous waste production, to the development of mycotechnologies that digest toxins, & plants that rehabilitate land? 🌍 How do we eliminate plastic, rethink flows, & fund development of non-invasive nondestructive environmental toxicology? 🧪 We will reclaim destroyed urban spaces. 🌳 Every action matters, every voice matters. Dreams of a living planet can be made real. 💡 #EcoRehab #PlasticFreeFuture #GreenScience

Dear _ ,

🌱 The future is a network of narrow, permeable pathways where plants, fungi, & community action restore damaged land, sequester toxins, & bioremediate soils. 🌾 By supporting the research of such technologies & natural remediation methods today, I can reclaim urban spaces & liberate Nature in the future. 🌿 Pluricentric worldviews (self-as-nature) carry us into a regenerative future, when we heal the Earth. 🌍💚 #RegenerativeFuture #EcoRestoration #ClimateAction #GreenSolutions #Community

🌎 Tell me what I can do to reduce my impact on the climate by >½ by 2030 🤔

That said, I'm already vegan and I walk or bicycle everywhere. So, how can I contribute significantly to a regenerative future?
