​Trump's EPA just gave fossil-fueled power plants a free pass on climate pollution. Now, they're trying to strip the government's authority to rein in climate pollution from power plants in the future.

Speak up for climate protections today⬇️
Tell the EPA not to walk away from its responsibility on climate
For over a decade, the Endangerment Finding has allowed the EPA to begin tackling climate pollution. That progress is now at risk.

🌊 Ocean acidification has now joined the list of exceeded planetary boundaries.

That makes 7 of 9.

These are interconnected Earth-system pressures, collectively eroding resilience and shrinking humanity’s safe operating space.

Nature is not a resource.
It’s the operating system of life.
When we destroy forests, wetlands, and oceans, we delete our own survival code.
Protect ecosystems = protect ourselves.

Planetary health is based on a system linking all life.

The systems we have created threaten its integrity, our health and our lives.

📉 Since 1970, global wildlife populations have already plummeted by an average of 69% due to industrial expansion and habitat destruction. We are actively tearing down the web of life that keeps humans alive.
