8. The Animals are endangered

The Ecological Emergency should be front page news every single day
The planet we think we're living on no longer exists.

Read this insane thread to learn about the 6th mass extinction, climate breakdown & ecological collapse, all caused by the destructive madness of corporate capitalism.

Total system change required:👇
1. The Land is Toxic:

"It's time for the Global North to get real. We cannot keep externalizing the costs and impacts of our overconsumption and waste problem to the Global South."

All over the world, the land is poisoned by toxic waste & pesticides.👇
2. Plants are sick and face extinction:

5. The seas are polluted

See this sobering thread on how the oceans are being destroyed, including by plastic, chemical and noise pollution:
7. The Water is contaminated

Over 2 billion people compelled to drink unsafe water, and over 4.5 billion without safely managed sanitation services:

8. The Animals are endangered.

Which species will survive?

⚠️ Most if not all species could be classified as Critically Endangered now, as mass extinction and climate chaos accelerate:

Thread 2:
The Ecological Emergency should be front page news.

Explore these threads for why it's not, and what will happen by 2029 because people haven't been informed, and so haven't forced change (due to corporate media silence, distortion, omission & framing).
