Phytoplankton, the tiny powerhouses of the ocean, not only absorb CO2 but release 2x oxygen as all the trees and plants on Earth combined. The harsh reality is that in some parts of the ocean, for every one Phytoplankton, six microplastics are floating in our oceans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOMU...

Public land is where we cast fly rods, bomb singletrack, carve pow turns, and unplug in the wild. It’s our escape. Our heritage. Our shared backyard.

Public land belongs to all of us. Let’s keep it that way. protectourwinters.quorum.us/campaign/114...

Speak up. Show Up. Protect Public Lands.

🚨 Our public lands are at risk! 🚨

Layoffs & expanded drilling threaten our parks, forests & trails:
❌ 10% of U.S. Forest Service jobs cut
❌ Wildlife & clean air protections slashed
❌ More proposed oil & gas drilling on public lands

Take action! 📢 Contact your rep now: p2a.co/wFgJxqt

The South got buried in historic snowstorms, while the Midwest & Alaska saw record-low snowfall and floods. This isn’t just a random storm—it’s a sign of a bigger climate shift.

🚨 Federal websites are scrubbing climate research 🚨

The USDA has removed 8,000+ pages on wildfire mitigation, public health & climate science.

Silencing science won’t change the reality. The climate crisis is undeniable. Raging wildfires, extreme weather, and rising temperatures don’t lie.

Nevada's iconic Ruby Mountains are at risk, and it's time to ACT NOW. 🏔️
