#Regram #RG @greenpeace: Check out these incredible white sea urchins and rhodoliths from the Amazon Reef — a unique biome at the mouth of the Amazon River. Experts estimate that only 5% of the Amazon Reef has been explored, but it’s already under threat. Oil companies Total and BP plan to drill in the region, putting the Reef at risk of an oil spill. Tell these companies to cancel their plans before it’s too late >> amazonreefs.org . . . . #AmazonReef #Brazil #Instagram #insta #instadaily #instagood #bestoftheday #instalove #instacool #instapic #picoftheday #photooftheday #moment

Congratulations, Malala Yousafzai! #Regram #RG @unitednations: "It is girls like me who believe in education. It is girls like me who are Muslims and are proud of their religion who stand for education and believe in education. And we tell the world that all Muslims believe in education and believe in peace". Congratulations to Malala Yousafzai on her new role as #UnitedNations Messenger of Peace! As youngest-ever Messenger of Peace, Malala will focus on girls' education. After her designation by Secretary-General António Guterres at UN Headquarters in #NYC on Monday (pictured), she had a powerful message for the young girls of the world: "You are the real change-makers. If you do not stand up, change will not come. If you want to see your future bright you have to start working now… Change starts with us and it starts now." : UN Photo / Eskinder Debebe #globalgoals #malala

#Regram #RG @mic: Portland seventh-grader Jeremy Clark testified before Oregon's legislature in March in support of two bills that would decrease greenhouse gas and carbon emissions — and this isn't the first time Jeremy has stood up for the environment. He and his friends started an environmentalist blog called "Two Green Leaves" in 2015 and lobbied their state reps in 2016 ?

#Regram #RG @wildaid: China's ivory shops and carving factories are closing their doors!!??? Last year China promised to stop the sale of elephant ivory by the end of 2017. Now it is making good on that promise: 67 ivory carving factories and retail shops across the country will close down on Friday, and the rest by the of the year. This is great news for the 30,000 elephants killed each year for their tusks in Africa. #JoinTheHerd #ivoryfree?#extinctioncrisis #elephants #whenthebuyingstopsthekillingcantoo

#Regram #RG @americanbirdconservancy: Horned Lark is just one of the many birds affected by chlorpyrifos, a pesticide that was, until yesterday, on track to be banned by the EPA for use in agricultural fields. It was banned for home use years ago. "We're disgusted by Mr. Pruitt's decision to yield to corporate interests, given the dangers posed by chlorpyrifos to birds, children, and agricultural workers,” said Cynthia Palmer, Pesticide Program Director at American Bird Conservancy (ABC). Chlorpyrifos, one of the most-used pesticides in the United States, has been killing birds and poisoning the environment for the past half-century. Because of those risks to wildlife and to human health, ABC has been calling for a ban on the use of chlorpyrifos for years. Environmental Protection Agency scientists agreed and were on course to ban the pesticide this month. But then, EPA chief Scott Pruitt rejected the conclusion of the agency's own pesticide experts, who had recommended that EPA forbid use of the pesticide permanently at farms nationwide. Rebuffing a petition filed by environmental groups a decade ago, Mr. Pruitt took “final agency action,” which may not be revisited until 2022. Studies show that women and children are particularly at risk from exposure to chlorpyrifos. ABC is also very concerned about the documented threat chlorpyrifos poses to birds, especially to endangered species. This past summer, EPA's draft biological evaluation on threatened and endangered species found that chlorpyrifos is “likely to adversely affect” 97 percent of all wildlife, including more than 100 listed bird species. Speak out: Tell your elected representatives that chlorpyrifos must be banned! #americanbirdconservancy #chlorpyrifos #pesticides #epa #pruitt #birds #hornedlark #insecticides
