Green Spaces cool cities, provide community gathering spaces, and suck carbon from the air. Good deal :) Prescribe Nature! 6/8

You don't have to be a health worker to save lives.
Walk instead of drive.
Retrofit your home to reduce fossil-driven heat & cooking.
Ask for policies that make transitions that clean the air cheaper & easier! 7/8

We're living at a hinge moment in human history.
We have learned what crisis feels like.
Let us honour all we have lost by preventing the next crises.
In 2050 let us be able to tell our kids with pride "we built this healthy world for you"
