#environmentalcrisis — Public Fediverse posts

We all know this. As older parents watching our kids working hard to maintain a reasonable living. As young parents trying to make ends meet in the face of increasing #CostOfLiving. As a young adult, looking at the pathways open to a decent education and hopefully a decent career that will ensure a liveable future. It’s not getting any easier. Everything we know for sure tells us harder times lie ahead; more expensive, more dangerous and we can no longer be certain of a safe #environment one single new generation ahead. That’s the picture in the *situation room* right now.

**And our political leaders are sitting on their hands** while the #Oligarchy is sucking us dry.

An environmental alert has been issued, and measures are being implemented to safeguard citizens. Russia is fully accountable. #EnvironmentalCrisis #Accountability

Remember, if it's not melting faster than your ice cream on a hot day, it's probably not newsworthy. 🌍🔬
