“Why can't we in North America adopt this kind of empathy and compassion and honor respect and dignify our collective humanity!”
“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

“Massive anti-Macron protests happening in France right now are not receiving the wall-to-wall headline news cover in Western media that they deserve despite their size and significance. Hypocrisy at its finest.”
“MILLIONS Protest Macron Across France!”

The whole 30% set aside is only a small part of what needs to be added to:
"The report from researchers at the United Kingdom Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and the University of Sheffield, shows that protected areas — which have been seen as key to protecting biodiversity — can be effective at protecting rare species, but have been unsuccessful in protecting common species."

The oceans are dying, including from oxygen depletion, yet Democrats and Republicans are proud of their 30% set aside to save us from Mass Extinction. Apparently they found a way to keep oxygenated and non-oxygenated water apart when they both occur in the same body of water.
“The oceans are dying. Ocean dead zones with zero oxygen and zero life equal size of the European Union.
Just 13% of world’s oceans have intact marine ecosystems, while rest have been plundered degraded. Coral Reefs dying. 100 million sharks killed every year. Oceans turning acidic.”
“Global warming is pushing the oceans to a level of extinction not seen in 250 million years. *source http://nature.com
