#DYK According to a report by OceansAsia, the massive increase in the number of #masks being used resulted in an estimated 1.56 billion of them ending up in our oceans. #Facemasks take as long as 450 years to break down, providing a source of microplastics for centuries. #plastic

Think #TexasBlackout or #COVID19 was bad... The cost of an extreme space weather event, if it hits Earth, could reach trillions of dollars with a potential recovery time of 4-10 years that could kill 9 of 10 Americans through starvation, disease, and societal collapse #solarstorm

In 1950 there may have been 400,000 #lions in the wild and by 1975 perhaps only 200,000. According to estimates, 23,000-39,000 lions remain in all of Africa. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service director Dan Ashe warned the African lion could go extinct by 2050. #Caturday #extinction

What happens in the Amazon rain forest will effect every person and living creature on the planet - to allow one leader of Brazil to destroy the Amazon and the many billions whose life will be changed forever without the Amazon is madness and world does nothing but promote more

Even rain could not stop us from collecting plastic waste.
I declined all speaking opportunities to mark #InternationalWomensDay to do this.
I believe leadership should be more of actions than words. #BanPlasticUG
