The science is clear — humans are driving the climate crisis. 🌍

From burning fossil fuels to deforestation and industrial pollution, our actions are warming the planet and disrupting life as we know it.

But if we’re the cause, we also hold the power to create change.

It's time to push for climate action, protect our communities, and build a future rooted in justice and sustainability. 🍃🍀

Climate change and toxic chemicals are more connected than you think.

As the planet heats up, chemicals become more dangerous — polluting our air, food, and homes. And some communities bear the brunt of it all.

📚 From smog-filled skies to storms that release poisons into neighborhoods, this is about more than the weather — it’s about justice.

Swipe through to see how climate and chemicals collide — and why we need to act now for a safer, healthier future. 🧪⚖️🌱

Coral reefs are often called the rainforests of the sea—and right now, they need our help more than ever.

Luckily, scientists and ocean protectors have come up with creative ways to restore and protect them. Here are some of the methods bringing reefs back to life:

🪸 Coral Transplantation: Healthy coral fragments are moved to damaged areas to help regrow reef systems.

🪸 Coral Gardening: Just like growing plants, baby corals are raised in underwater nurseries and later planted back into the wild.

🪸 Artificial Reef Structures: Eco-friendly materials (like reef balls or sunken ships!) create new homes for marine life and coral to grow on.

🪸 Biorock Technology: Electric currents run through underwater structures, helping corals grow faster and survive harsh conditions.

🪸 Coral Nurseries: Floating or underwater nurseries give young corals a safe place to grow before being returned to their natural reef homes.

Each method is a step toward healing the ocean—and protecting life beneath the waves for future generations. 🌎💙

What if the chemicals used to package your food were also ending up inside it?

PFAS—also known as "forever chemicals"—are used in everything from nonstick food wrappers to the tools and gear used on industrial farms. They're designed to resist water and grease... but that also means they don’t break down easily.

And here's the real problem:
🔁 PFAS Move: They seep into soil, water, crops, and even animals—eventually landing on your plate. Yes, that includes fruits, vegetables, and even baby food.

This isn’t just about personal health—it’s a systemic issue. A food system designed for speed and convenience has put long-lasting chemicals ahead of long-term safety. Let’s speak up for a future where every bite is safe—because we all deserve clean food, clean soil, and a clean start. 🍓

Coral reefs are more than just beautiful underwater gardens—they’re home to 1 in every 4 ocean species! But while reefs are already threatened by climate change and pollution, there’s another surprising danger floating in the water: sunscreen.

Here’s why it matters:
🦠 What’s in Sunscreen?: Many sunscreens contain a chemical called oxybenzone. It helps protect human skin from the sun—but it’s toxic to coral.

🧬 What Does Oxybenzone Do?: Scientists found that oxybenzone can mess with coral polyps' hormones, making it harder for them to grow and stay healthy. It can also harm the algae that live inside coral and help give them energy.

💔 Corals + Oxybenzone = Sick Reefs: Even small amounts of oxybenzone in the water can make coral bleach, become weak, or even die. That’s why places like Hawaii banned sunscreens with oxybenzone in 2018.

🔁 What About the Replacements?: Good question. Some new sunscreen formulas claim to be “reef-safe,” but scientists are still testing them. We need to make sure alternatives are truly safe for ocean life.

Next time you head to the beach, choose reef-safe sunscreen (look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, without nano-particles). And always rinse off before swimming in the ocean.

📦 Plastic-Free Treasure Hunt: Go on a hunt around your house to spot all the single-use plastics. Can you find 5 things to replace with something reusable?

🎨 Upcycle Craft Day: Use cardboard boxes, paper rolls, or fabric scraps to create your own toys, decorations, or art—without using plastic materials.

🍴 Zero-Waste Lunchbox: Pack your lunch with reusable containers, cloth napkins, and real silverware. Bonus points for a water bottle instead of a juice box!

For millions of students around the world, school lunch isn’t just a break from class—it’s the most reliable, nutritious meal of their day. But not every student has the same access to healthy, balanced meals. That’s where food justice comes in.

Food justice means that everyone, no matter where they live or how much money they have, deserves access to healthy, affordable, and culturally appropriate food.

Why school lunch is essential:
📚 It supports focus and learning during the school day.
📚 It improves health and reduces hunger.
📚 It helps families save money.
📚 It creates a safety net for kids facing food insecurity.

In some communities, kids rely on free or reduced-price lunches as their main source of nutrition. When schools provide fresh, healthy meals, it helps close the food gap and supports both education and equity. 🍎🥗

Swipe through to learn how climate change affects our emotions, and how talking, taking action, and connecting with others can help turn anxiety into empowerment. 💬🌱

✨ Your care is your superpower.
