I don't think average people are It's our Governments that seem to be intent on conflating the two And it's not helping

lol "caught off-guard". They literally designed the gun to be as close to illegal as they possibly could and they went to far. They screwed up. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

As always, the brilliant Louise Adler says what the Govt and Murdoch will not. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As the north of the South Island of NZ gets hammered by floods for the third time in as many weeks, now is as good a time as ever to reconsider how we manage flood risk. Rivers need space to flood into. Giving them room to function also brings widespread ecological benefits.

Coastal Cleanup in Progress! Results on Monday. Stay Tuned. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #July4thWeekend

Today is historically the dirtiest beach day of the year. After the fireworks and celebrations fade and the crowds go home, our beaches are left covered in trash. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup #July5 #DirtiestBeachDay

“We are not strangers separated by countries; we are a tribe connected by oceans.®” #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

There is something sacred about the ocean; we have roughly the same percentage of salt and water in our bodies as the sea. It is in the sweat of our efforts and the tears of our disappointments. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanups

We love the ocean and love participating in coastal cleanups. They both make you feel small, but not in a negative way; small because you realize you are part of something much larger. Mahalo Everyone! #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanups

After the brand audit, we choose selected debris for visual aids and upcycling projects. We work with municipalities and waste management companies to recycle as much as possible - the remainder is disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

At local San Diego beaches, over 2,500 pounds of trash were removed, 750 lbs. from Fiesta Island, and another 700 lbs. from Ocean Beach & Estuary, being the dirtiest spots. We will have complete numbers later this week from the rest of California, Florida, and Hawaii.

However, a more grim 2025 peer-reviewed study (Frontiers in Toxicology) analyzing 182 seafood samples (including fish and shrimp from Pacific Northwest markets and boats) found microplastics in 99% of them (synthetic fibers from clothing were the predominant type.)

Land-based sources contribute 70–80% of ocean plastics. Marine-based sources (mainly fishing gear) account for the remaining 20–30%. Microplastics (<5 mm) make up 90% of ocean plastic particles (mainly clothing fibers) and are detected in 60% of seafood. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

We are surfers, sailors, divers, scientists, and activists on a hero’s journey to recover ocean plastic, restore habitat, and mitigate ocean warming & acidification. “We are not strangers separated by countries; we are a tribe connected by ocean.” #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Our Friday Playlist Song of the Day is ‘What a Fool Believes’ by The Doobie Brothers from ‘Minute by Minute.’ It is our response to climate deniers that ignore the facts: “What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away.” youtu.be/qKYQNtF11eg #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

Plastics are a primary marine pollutant and a driver of the climate crisis. Plastics discarded in the environment release methane, ethylene, PFAS, and other toxic chemicals, which also interfere with the ocean’s ability to store carbon. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridaysforFuture #ClimateCrisis

White America, we need to invite the screams of brown-skinned people inside, to let them break our hearts and boil our blood until the fury within us erupts in a sustained roar that violently disrupts an inhumanity that will not stop unless we make it stop. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-is...

Sure, and maybe one day they'll make a globally famous Broadway musical about it But you have to get out of this bit first That's how it works

👏👏👏👏👏👏

In case there was any remaining doubt, ONLY totalitarian Govts and dictatorships are this intentionally cruel to the people they subjugate. No one else does this

Shocking...

New warning from Telstra. This will save quite a few people from getting scammed.

Concerned family members are desperate for answers after they say a disabled U.S. veteran and citizen was taken during a federal immigration raid at a cannabis farm in Camarillo.

Legit question Can anyone remind the room who appointed her and what process was used to make that selection?

OMG !!!Walkabout is in SBS, and Storm Boy is on NITV!!. #AlwayswasAlwayswillbe. Happy NAIDOC! WEEK MY friends ✊🏾🖤💛❤️ #Gulpili

Instead of going after violent criminals, this administration is terrorizing our neighborhoods and arresting U.S. citizens.

"What ensued was a bloodbath" Chessa Latifi from Project Hop explains the IDF knew the location of their clinic in Gaza (which provides maternal child healthcare & nutrition support) & people had already started queuing outside the clinic doors when Israel conducted its strike

change is coming despite the attempts to hold back the future

Hey there, governments of #Alberta and #Saskatchewan, are you going to reinstate the U.S. booze ban? You're out of step with #TeamCanada #elbowsup . globalnews.ca/news/1123467...

It’s still not too late, and my never ending #goodclimatenews series is proof! I’ve been producing this series for four years now, and I can never cover all the progress!

There’s a brand new plastics recycling plant in the Indonesian Is of Lombok If you’d like to donate to keep them going please ask me for the website

BREAKING: Judge rules that during its large-scale enforcement operation in LA, DHS/ICE has been arresting people without probable cause -- based on factors like accent and line of work. She orders the agencies to stop. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Imagine leading FEMA and not believing in emergency management. You’d think, as a former governor, she’d know what was going on. But I guess this is what you get when the president’s cabinet is full of unqualified conspiracy theorists. The American people deserve better.

That's where all the billionaires will bugger off to when earth becomes inhabitable

Important to know that these cuts kick in right after the 2026 midterms. That’s how you know they know it’s bad.

I had to rush my pitbull to the vet yesterday after the boarding place called me and told me she wasn’t doing well. I was worried. I really thought I was losing her. The vet wanted to keep her overnight. I spoke to the vet earlier. This damn dog has anxiety 🫠 I am happy she’s fine but omg.
