I love @velshi.com 's new "Nightlight" segment! Great idea - to calm distraught viewers into a more peaceful night's slumber. And tonight's was the best so far, highlighting 3 brave women who kept Climate.gov alive as Climate.us now, lighting the darkness of the existential threat of our time...

Can you imagine ‘processing’ animal corpses all day every day?
The smell
The violence
The sounds
And people have the gall to accuse vegans of not caring about workers 🙄

Animal Agriculture Costs More In Health Damage Than It Contributes To The Economy
As with the climate, the chief culprit is meat and dairy. But when it comes to particulate pollution, the worst offender is poultry.

Come on vegans, we have to do better. Please, stop 🛑 prioritizing the feelings of those causing the suffering > the suffering itself. Vegan advocacy must include reality, and those funding this ongoing nightmare need to be made aware of the HUMANE LIES they naively continue to believe

For decades, we couldn’t trace the link between new fossil fuel projects and their damage to people and planet. But now we can.
We can finally measure the damage each new coal, gas or oil project will do to people and nature

Did you know that producing one pound of beef is 25-50x worse for climate change than burning a pound of coal?
In fact, it’s one of the most polluting things we can consume.
And grass-fed beef is usually *even worse* — thanks to its much higher land use and methane emissions.

Radar image of Tuesday's mass crane migration. A 100 km long line of migrating cranes was clearly visible on weather radar. It is estimated that around 10,000 (?) cranes were involved in that formation. The highest count observed was 26,000 migrating cranes on that day in Kangasala (near Tampere).
