1/ The Amazon forest is burning up, we’ve all heard about it by now. What can you do about it? A thread in 8 chapters. 🌳🔥👩🏼‍🚒💪🏾
2/ Spread the word, help raise awareness. Just like @GretaThunberg gave all of us & those in power no option but to listen and act, you can now do the same with the Amazon. Inform yourself and share the knowledge: blog.ecosia.org/brazils-amazon…
@GretaThunberg 3/ There are many organisation you can donate to to help protect animal & tree species living in the Amazon. Consider donating to the @WWF or @RnfrstAlliance , for example. Comment under this tweet for more organizations protecting the Amazon!
@GretaThunberg @WWF @RnfrstAlliance 4/ Let’s not forget the +1,000,000 #indigenouspeoples living in the Amazon Forest. Their home is burning up. Donate to orgs like @AmazonWatch for much needed support 👐🏽
@GretaThunberg @WWF @RnfrstAlliance @AmazonWatch 5/ The main reason #Brazil's government is encouraging the deforestation of this and other Brazilian forests, is because the country depends on exports of meat, soy and wood/paper….
@GretaThunberg @WWF @RnfrstAlliance @AmazonWatch 6/ Decrease your paper&wood purchases. Buy only rainforest-safe products. Follow @RnfrstAlliance’s frog, f.ex. If you don’t know what that means, watch this video (also a very welcome comic relief to cope with all the devastating Amazon news):
@GretaThunberg @WWF @RnfrstAlliance @AmazonWatch 7/ Also consider reducing your meat consumption, the main cause of deforestation & #CO2 emissions worldwide. 🍆🍅🥗🥕🌶🥬🌽
@GretaThunberg @WWF @RnfrstAlliance @AmazonWatch 8/ Ask the #EuropeanUnion - one of Brazil’s main buyer of meat - to use its bargaining power w/ the newly signed "#Mercosur trade agreement" w/ Brazil & other LATAM countries to only import products respectful of people & nature. More on the agreement: theguardian.com/environment/co…
@GretaThunberg @WWF @RnfrstAlliance @AmazonWatch 9/ Bonus thread addition: if you have more suggestions on what an individual can do to help the Amazon, don't hesitate to share! #Amazonas #AmazonFire

What an excellent reminder that:
A) Headlines are for show.
B) Billionaires treat philanthropy as an investment.
C) We can't achieve climate justice without social justice.
Climate change already affects racial and economic minorities the most — so talking about climate commitments *should* involve improving the working conditions of your employees.

Not all tree planting is equal. What questions should you ask when someone claims to be planting trees? Resharing a classic from our YouTube channel
Ways you can distinguish proper tree planting from greenwashing:
Have the trees actually been put in the ground? Are they being monitored or are we dealing with a feel-good, but ultimately unrealistic pledge?
Are local communities equal partners in the project? Do the trees benefit them? Will they take care of the trees?

When we say 160 million trees, we only count trees that have survived more than 3 years 😌
We plant diverse forests, not sterile monocultures.
We prefer native and endangered species to imported and invasive ones.
