Can we solve the climate crisis without confronting global inequities?
A recent study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA found that white residents in the USA produce more climate pollution than black or hispanic residents, but black and hispanic people are exposed to more air pollution.
And that is just the USA! Think about the global inequities in the "haves" and the "have nots".
And how are we going to lift people out of poverty without making the climate crisis even worse?
If you are a resident in a wealthy country, is it your responsibility to address both problems at once? And what would that look like in terms of national and international policy?

Picking up our trash
Humans put so much trash into our environment, on beaches theirs plastic bottles an other trash like plastic and that's going into where the animals live. Animals are being found with plastic in their stomachs and dying at a rapid rate because of this. Instead of throwing the trash out, put it in a bag or find a thrash can and put it there and not into animal habitats.
