#climate activism
We now got a Twitter page! If you are active on Twitter, please give us a follow! Here
We started a Team Trees campaign! If you want to join us in donating money for planting trees, you can do so at teamtrees.orgbut make sure to write “The Climate Crisis Movement” in the “Team” section.
Let’s see who plants the most trees in this campaign! Send us a screenshot of your donation and we will happily repost it!
Bringing back this post to say that, having visited Vienna recently, there were people that actually turned off their cars when waiting for the light to turn green or even when waiting for a few seconds for a pedestrian to cross and then turning them back on to go about their day.
Would love to see this get adopted more widely.
It’s an attitude that makes sense if you want to save up on fuel and help the climate and the air quality.
G'day. Here’s a medium article of 4 min reading time written by yours truly.
Please drop a follow as well :>

Relatively untouched by human hands? Do I have news for CNN
Superb speech!
Our hiatus continues as we organize our schedules (student life hit us all hard) and the team as a whole. We will be back by the end of 2021. Until then, please stay tuned!!
Hello everyone! We will take a break from posting due to the fact that most of the people in the team are students and we all got exams and what not in the following few months. We will resume our activity at a greater speed and quality (+ a website!!) somewhere around the end of August if not earlier or later. We still got two or three posts in the making that we’ll post next week.
Take care and keep fighting for the climate! We will do so too even as our journalistic activity subsides for a bit.
Even though methane is a far more potent greenhouse gas, it remains in the atmosphere for (only) about 10 years, making it a more approachable target in the short-term fight against climate change.
While CO2 does remain the more prevalent culprit, its effects are to be evaluated in the long-term. Because it lasts for hundreds of years once in the atmosphere consequences are to be expected in the second half of our century.
Starting with the 3rd of July, all single-use plastic items that can be replaced with sustainable alternatives will be banned in the European Union!
This represents an amazing advancement towards eliminating plastic pollution world-wide.
Next step, banning the use/the right to leave in the oceans of plastic fishing nets? After all, they make up 45% of the oceanic plastic mass.
Big thanks to @ep_eye (on Instagram) for giving us permission to share their image!
The research, supported by the National Geographic Society and published today in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, estimates that atmospheric warming from all of these sources combined now appears to swamp the forest’s natural cooling effect.
The effect can still be combated and reversed through the halting of deforestation as well as rebuilding the destroyed ecosystems.
It is a dark day for the climate.
Hey guys! I don’t usually talk about very serious subjects happening around the world at the current moment, but all this news about climate change permanently affecting the planet is creating alot of anxiety around the world at the moment. I’m sure alot of you guys have given up and don’t care anymore, which I do not blame you as I feel the same way. But, with a little bit of motivation I’m sure we can help aid the climate change problem by adding little changes to our everyday schedule.
Below are some recommendations to help slow down climate change:
- Unplug electrical devices when not used
- Grow trees/oxygen releasing plants (heavily recommend this website for plant recommendations:
https://www.india.com/video-gallery/top-5-oxygen-producing-indoor-plants-covid-19-4661671/
- Turn off mobile devices when not in use
- Use less gas releasing transport (use bicycle, walk, ext.)
- Eat more naturally grown foods - vegetables, fruit, ext. (You can grow your own, which I can assure you is very interesting as well as money saving. By doing this you spend less money on food miles and less electricity is used on factories.)
- Shop locally if you are able to. This can help cut carbon emissions and air pollution as well as cut food miles. By making cleaner air we can also make fresher crops.
- Throw away less food. Use the food that you buy when you can and compost it. This can help stop methane gas from entering the air.

People are starting to care about the environment, and that’s wonderful… but there’s a catch. Always is, isn’t there? It’s a mix of aestheticism, marketing, and research suppression. More often than not, most entrepreneurs and companies are out to make a quick buck off of people who think that reducing waste or using renewable materials is active environmentalism. It’s not their fault for having the wool pulled over their eyes, that’s how so called “green capitalism” is designed, blaming others for being fooled is just victim blaming. Another tool of separation by the ruling class is greenwashing.
An example of greenwashing is this:
You do see the problem here, right? I mean you’d have to be metaphorically blind to miss it. What good is reducing carbon emissions when you’re using a plastic bottle? Creating plastic causes hella emissions, From an article by NPR (I know, they sold out, but hear them out) “By one estimate, emissions from producing and incinerating plastics could amount to 56 gigatons of carbon — almost 50 times the annual emissions of all of the coal power plants in the U.S. — between now and 2050. … And that’s what makes replacing plastic a problem without a clear solution.” For the whole article, click the quote.
But where’s the point in what I’m saying? It’s not gonna stop anytime soon. The point is to potentially educate those who fall for these these things, as I’ve stated before, they’re victims of marketeering and (probably) propaganda propelled forward by the ruling class. In the end, putting green in front of whatever is being sold doesn’t make it true. Don’t be a victim, be what they fear most, educated.
That’s all for tonight (currently 7:22 American Central time zone as I’m typing)
I’d love for you to share this, with how many (ugh) liberals are on Tumblr, I wouldn’t be surprised if I got backlash for blaming capitalism, but anyway, this has been @punkofsunshine, have a good one and stay safe.
Focusing on too many things at once is a problem I face personally, couple that with the need to take everything upon myself and low stress tolerance and you have a disaster waiting to happen. If you face the same problem as me, I’d highly suggest making a group of specialized people and solve small problems locally, whether that be growing food, hooking up satellites for free WiFi, setting up a Food Not Bombs chapter in your area, or even cooperation in local to state government. We all have our talents, honing yours can change a life, but it takes all of us to change the world in a significant way. To rebuild a structure, parts must be torn down, the more you tear down periodically, the better the structure is going to be, however it must be reinforced. You cannot expect a house to stand without a plan for a structure, we are the supports that make the wall, the roof, and the floor. The foundation is what we believe in, and what the foundation is, is hope. Hope for a future that can be, with action, collaboration, and resistance against the hierarchical, overbearing, and exploitative power structures that currently exist.
This has been my first post in a while, so I’ll see ya’ll again in probably a month to commemorate my first post on this site “A Beginner’s Guide to Solarpunk” which absolutely blew up my account, to be truthful I’m proud of how far we’ve all come with our small internet based movement reaching new heights and our voices getting louder in the ears of politicians and capitalists alike. We’re here to stay, don’t forget about it.
This has been @punkofsunshine, have a good one and stay safe.
I did this one a couple of weeks back; the best way of dealing with tragedy is humour. Sometimes
Big Climate Change Mood
Despite making up less than 5% of the world’s population, indigenous people are protecting 80% of global biodiversity. We must follow the leadership of indigenous people in the fight to protect our planet.

i want to delete rest mode off my ps4 i have never once in my life wanted to put any device whatsoever into rest mode instead of turning it the fuck off the only “power options” any given device should have is on (i am using the device and it is performing its expected functions) and off (the device is incapable of doing anything other than turning on when I press the power button). the ps4 can rest when it’s fucking turned off. stop building this shit to spy on people while pretending to be off. stop driving up people’s electricity bills with this shit. join me in my quest to kill the ceo of bad electronics practises with the moonlight greatsword.
