The IPCC & UN just released a statement declaring there will be global catastrophies as a result of climate change by 2030... Unless drastic changes are made.
The urgency is there, the call to action is real.
The earth will reach a climate threshold of 1.5 degree Celsius, indicating uncontrollable natural disasters, food shortages, and deaths of millions of people.
This is based on greenhouse gas emissions – every time we drive our cars, turn on our lights, or eat a burger.
Is this terrifying?

"I recently moved to a new location.
The place where I moved is in a rural area and one of the first things I noticed was that it didn't have a composter.
Of course, I immediately searched for a solution and asked my landlord if we could install one.
My landlord wasn't thrilled with the idea.
He told me composters take maintenance, they smell, and they attract animals.
So how did I convince my landlord that a composter digester was good for his property and his wallet … AND get him to help dig the hole?
I talked "his" language.
I listed the benefits of a digester composter, including: -Saving money on garbage bags
-Reducing garbage by 50% meaning it is taken out less often
-Reduction in fruit flies
-Reducing methane emissions in landfill, which are more harmful than C02
-Making an important environmental investment for the property to reduce the negative impacts of climate change
I told him I did a weekly analysis of the amount of waste that is generated by his tenants and half of it is organic materials such as banana peels, orange peels. carrot peels and potato peels.
I also provided him with options and gave him information about a composter that doesn't take any maintenance (except for the installation and putting out the compost), won't attract animals (place a bit of paprika!) and doesn't stink!
My point?
Don't take "no" for an answer.
Be persistent, show people the value in environmental choices, and craft a solid position to help them see the benefits. 🌎We can all make a difference - sometimes, it takes a bit of persuasion. But don't stop at no.
Help people understand the benefits of a greener choice, and you can make a difference, too.
Thanks to our landlord Adam for helping us install this composter!
Happy #HallowGreen Day 8!" #RandomActsofGreen #green #actgreen #gogreen #sustainable #sustainability #ability #compost #localaction
