This isn't a debate between "development" and "conservation." This is a war between short-term greed and long-term survival. The forests are our shields. The defenders are on our side. It’s time to stand with the trees and the people protecting them. #ClimateActionNow

yes of course lets cover our fields with car parks instead . hashtag pave the earth

Beautifully stated.

This is the way

I've never used pesticides or herbicides and I don't own a dryer. I use the sun to dry clothes, sheets, towels, blankets, etc. Fresh air and sunlight are the best air fresheners of all! Lots of bees, butterflies and birds all around my little house, too. Sweet natural music from them. 🤗😊

I hereby concur. 🖖🏿

Trees 🌳 are awesome. Also we need them to live. #plantTrees

The shame of this generation will not be what we inherited. It will be what we knowingly destroyed — and what we failed to restore. Change starts with awareness, then action. Protect what remains. Restore what was lost. Live with respect. Who’s with me? #RespectNature 🌍🌱

The science is brutally clear: • 1 million species at risk of extinction • 70% of wildlife populations lost in 50 years • 2024 was the hottest year on record (again) This is not a “future problem.” This is a now problem created by now choices. #RespectNature

Respecting nature is not weakness,it is wisdom. Plant trees. Clean rivers. Reduce waste. Demand better policies. Teach your children that Earth is not a warehouse, but a sacred home. The power to restore balance still lies in our hands. Let’s use it. #RespectNature

Every species we drive to extinction weakens the web of life we stand on. Bees pollinate 70% of our crops. Coral reefs protect coasts and feed millions. When they collapse, our food systems and economies follow. This isn’t “environmentalism.” This is basic self-preservation. #RespectNature 🌱

We treat the Earth like a business in liquidation rather than a home to be cherished. Humanity’s disregard for nature’s balance is shameful. > Remember: We don't inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. 🚸💚 #RespectNature #Sustainability

Nature doesn't need humans, but humans entirely depend on nature's delicate balance for clean air, water, and food. Our ongoing disregard for this interconnected web is a profound failure of stewardship. It’s time to shift from exploitation to restoration. 🔄🌿 #RespectNature #ActOnClimate

Science shows spending time in forests significantly reduces stress and anxiety. To save the forests is to save ourselves. Protect our green cathedrals. 🌲✨ #ClimateAction #MentalHealth

"Forests are under threat, yet one mature tree still fights for 2-4 people’s oxygen daily. They purify our poisoned air and shield us from respiratory harm. Lose the forests, lose clean air. Time to wake up. 🌳🔥 Breathe better. Thank a forest."

The only time I'm truly happy is when I'm in the forest

I hope that this figure is correct but either way, I like the action. Plant more trees!

Beautiful AND Medicinal 🤩💪🏾💯💙🦋

Forests = Superheroes 🌍 • Oxygen producers 💨 • Carbon eaters 🌱 • Flood fighters 💧 • Mental health boosters 🧠 • Climate coolers ❄️ Never take them for granted! #Forests

Which crop stage suffers the most post-harvest loss in developing countries? A) Transportation B) Retail display C) Storage D) Processing

Use organic fertilizers! Compost and manure aren't just additives; they're nature's embrace, replenishing nutrients and weaving a web of life in the soil. Feel the joy of watching your crops flourish sustainably—because every handful of organic goodness is a step toward saving our planet.

Forests don’t just support life—they actively improve human health and longevity. Every tree we save, every forest we protect, is an investment in healthier hearts, stronger immune systems, and calmer minds. The fight for forests is the fight for human well-being. Protect them fiercely.

One mature tree can produce enough oxygen for 2-4 people daily. Forests act as giant air purifiers—absorbing CO₂, pollutants, and particulates—delivering cleaner air that reduces respiratory diseases and supports every cell in your body. Breathe better. Thank a forest. 🌬️

Spending time in forests (forest bathing / shinrin-yoku) has been scientifically shown to: • Reduce inflammation • Lower blood pressure • Decrease stress hormones • Increase natural killer cells (immune boosters) Nature isn’t a luxury. It’s preventive medicine. 📉

I read that there’s a village in the UK who voted for solar panels on the land instead of covering it with a housing development. Sounds a lot more positive!

I did an elementary school report on a Ford Model T that had been fitted with an electric motor and a solar panel on the roof. That was 1962.

And our future

Let's prioritize installing solar panels on structures like car parks and building rooftops instead of agricultural land, as this approach embodies sustainable development.

🌲 Amazon: Home to 1 in 10 known species on Earth, 40,000+ plant species, and 2.5 million insect species. 🇨🇩 Congo: Home to 10,000+ tropical plant species (30% unique to the region), forest elephants, and 3 out of 4 great ape species. Lose the basins, lose our history.

"One in five of Earth’s living species finds refuge in the Congo Basin. From bonobos to forest elephants, this is nature’s masterpiece. Destroying it isn’t development — it’s planetary self-harm." 🌿

"The Congo Basin is the world's largest net carbon sink among tropical forests — absorbing up to 6x more CO₂ annually than the Amazon in some estimates. Yet it receives a fraction of the attention and funding. Africa’s green lung needs the world’s support NOW." #CongoBasin

"🌍 Planting trees is an incredible way to combat climate change. Not only do they absorb carbon dioxide, but they also release oxygen, purify the air, and provide habitat for countless species. Every tree counts! 🌳🌱 #PlantMoreTrees #ClimateSolution" ‎

While everyone’s eyes are on the Amazon, Borneo has quietly lost about 92% of its original primary rainforest since the 1970s. That’s one of the fastest large-scale ecosystem losses ever recorded.

Deforestation isn't inevitable. It's a choice. ​Here is how we choose differently: ​Reduce: Paper consumption & carbon footprint. ​Support:Conservation NGOs. ​Act: Plant native trees & demand better environmental policies. ​Future generations are relying on the choices we make today.

Planting trees is amazing, but changing laws is permanent. True forest conservation requires policy. Call, email, and push your representatives to pass laws that protect our natural habitats. Let’s use our voices. 🏛️🌳 #ForestConservation #GreenPolitics

We lose 27 soccer fields of forest every minute. But we can flip it: 1 tree planted = 48lbs CO₂ gone/yr 1 FSC purchase = illegal logging denied 1 voice = policy changed Which will you do today? 🌳

What is the definition of post-harvest losses? A) Losses during planting and growing of crops B) Losses that occur between harvest and consumption (handling, storage, transport, processing) C) Only losses due to pests in the field D) Losses caused exclusively by market price fluctuations

Spot on!

If that was in my garden, 1000s of miles away, it wouldn't be a NATIVE tree?

My city of Denver CO can't cut down those giant native trees fast enough.

And stop using chemicals that kill them!

Native plantings change everything. Bees know first

That is what I learned a while ago. Local plants and animals (pollinators) must go from one climatezone to the next together in migration. It makes sense, doesn't it. Humans brought many species to other continents without thinking...

And implement a total worldwide ban on the use of nicotinoid and other pesticides that destroy our bee populations, and threaten our own survival.

Texas Sage typically blooms before a storm comes in and attracts a lot of bees.

Hey fellow blue 🔵 in the Texas red sea. 👋 The sage is magnificent at attracting the pollinators, in addition to the saliva, blue mist and sweet acacia.

👋 Howdy! I will look into those other plants soon. The sage I have is from the 1990s!

That's some decent longevity there! 😁 Check this out 👇 www.centraltexasgardener.org/resource/att...

Deforestation contributes to climate change mainly because: A) Trees make wind B) Trees absorb CO2, and cutting them releases it C) Forests block rainfall D) Leaves reflect sunlight
