Help undo the forecast limitation placed on the National Climate Assessment by signing our petition! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link in Bio ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ James Reilly, former astronaut, petroleum geologist, and director of the United States Geological Survey has placed a forecast limitation on the National Climate Assessment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The limitation would present a falsely optimistic picture of the state of our environment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s send a message to separate politics from science. #sociallyaware #stopfossilfuels #sustainability #minimalism #gogreen #planetoverprofit #environmentalgovernance #circularity #savetheplanet https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PwEVLH-mu/?igshid=r3fkfr9kxyt6

If we all begin to take individual responsibility for our actions we will collectively make the necessary changes our earth deserves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gogreen #responsibility #greenhousegases #pollution #ampliphi #sustainability #singleusesucks #carbonenergy #carbondioxide #glacier #meltingglaciers #artivism #bethechange #motivation #skipthestraw #plasticfree #plasticsucks #noplanetb #changetheworld #individualresponsibilty #individualactivism #plasticpollution #minimilism #greenliving https://www.instagram.com/p/BvSG8mUnYJk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rbs5740vs3k2

Earth and Venus are very similar planets, yet the average temperature of Venus is ~ 864 degrees Fahrenheit while Earth’s temperature is ~ 58 degrees. Both the proximity to the Sun and the level of Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere have a role to play. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Earth and Venus have very similar levels of CO2, yet most of Earth’s CO2 is dissolves in our oceans where it combines with minerals to form carbonate rocks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oceans are what differentiate Earth from Venus. Scientists speculate that a younger Venus may have had oceans, but as the Sun has generated more energy through nuclear fusion it's energy has increased. More and more water vapor entered Venus’s atmosphere, strengthening the greenhouse effect, causing the temperature to rise continuously. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Runaway greenhouse effect is the result of intensifying greenhouses gasses compounding upon each-other leading to a planet devoid of life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although it is incredibly unlikely anthropogenic carbon emissions will lead to a lifeless Earth. The lesson of the compounding greenhouse gas effect should not be taken lightly as the CO2 we produce is only a percentage of the actual level of gas entering the atmosphere. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #greenhousegases #climatechange #globalwarming #earth #ecosystem #venus #pollution #carbon #carbondioxide #nomoreplastic #ampliphi #sustainability #singleusesucks #ditchplastic #carbonenergy #fossilfuels #runawaygreenhouseeffect #planets #gogreen💚 #minimize #noplanetb #savetheplanet🌍 #activism #sociallyaware https://www.instagram.com/p/BvMtXSoHhUE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1npqixe09ho8a

Perception will provide the solutions for our climate crisis. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We have attached our identities to our patterns of consumption and financial investment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are the brands we wear, the cars we drive, the products we buy; we are comforted to find the future portrayed as ‘safe’ in the hands of the market. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Corporations obscure the contradiction between endless economic growth and worsening environmental destruction. (Wright, Christopher; Nyberg, Daniel) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We have to wake up and realize our current perception of normality isn’t sustainable. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s enjoy the things we have and not covet what we want. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fall in love with nature and begin to see all it has to offer. Find a local garden or start growing your own veggies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s time to reset! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ditchplastic #greenliving #garden #ecolife #sustainablesolitions #nomoreplastic #ampliphi #sustainability #livegreen #planetoverprofit #noplanetb #singleusesucks #changeyourperception #minimalism #reusable #zerowaste #gozerowaste #sociallyaware #shopinbulk #climatecrisis #climatechange #pollution https://www.instagram.com/p/BvCSglUHtdp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7x9akt1akdor

Plastic has become a reality of our everyday life, and companies have no reason to limit their production. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The plastic problem may seem overwhelming at first, but if everyone takes responsibility and engages in sustainable behaviors, it is most certainly an issue that can be solved. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Continue educating yourself and setting a positivity example for those around you. The health of our planet and ourselves is far too important to blindly consume without realizing the impacts of our behavior. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #nomoreplastic #ampliphi #singleusesucks #changeyourroutine #endplasticpollution #shopinbulk #sustainablesolitions #minimalism #sustainability #ecolife #gogreen #sociallyaware #stopsucking #planetoverplastic #ditchplastic #reusable #greenliving #gozerowaste #zerowaste https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_z2bXHewk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12c11hxk4uspv

Trying to shop plastic free can be extremely overwhelming. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It seems like nearly everything is wrapped in plastic; even tin cans are lined with an epoxy resin. Bring cloth bags to shop in bulk and try to expand your knowledge of fruits and veg 🍃. Non-traditional grocery stores can also be a great option, gamers markets as well. So next time you need groceries, try something new. Remember where plastic comes from, the dangers to your health and it’s potentially devastating impacts on the environment. Every decision matters. What are your favorite ways to shop without plastic? #reduceplasticwaste #shopinbulk #sustainablesolutions #stopfossilfuels #planetoverprofit #ampliphi #plasticsucks #stopsucking #changeyourroutine #useless #minimalism #sustainability #ecofriendly #singleusesucks #endplasticpollution #nomoreplastic #sociallyaware #gogreen https://www.instagram.com/p/BumV0JwHh2L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6katdhwdgtxe

Butterflies don’t use dyes to color their wings, so how are they so vibrant? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Morpho butterfly wings have tiny scales covered with microscopic ridges, cross ribs and other structures. These structures play with light waves to create brilliant blues and speckles. They harness the physics of light at the nanoscale. The structure, instead of a chemical, creates the color and pigment. @biomimicryinstitute ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Biomimicry studies nature’s designs to create more effective and efficient systems, models, and elements. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Dying textiles requires vast quantities of water and produces toxic waste. @worldeconomicforum ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nature can teach us so much if we begin to listen.

Toxic from beginning to end. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don’t be a trash denier. Understand the effects of your footprint.

Just because a product is green doesn’t mean it is without an environmental impact. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Green products can increase market demand due to recycling’s ability to create a lower price. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are excited to share similar in-depth articles, product alternatives and groundbreaking activism when we launch in little more than a month!!

What is your legacy? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Every choice creates a ripple effect for years to come. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s inspire others through action. Make the changes we talk about. Live a life that next generations will respect and Earth will thank you for. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is nothing to lose! Stay positive, be empathetic, and every day strive to better our environment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In North and South America Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestle are responsible for 64-70 percent of all branded plastic pollution. @greenpeace. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ UV rays and salt water cause plastics to disintegrate, and as they break apart an odor, similar to krill, is released causing the micro-plastics to be ingested by ocean life. @royalsocbio ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Every decision we make has an impact. let’s start being more empathetic in every sense of the word

Here are 5 facts from the Center for Biological Diversity to help motivate plastic free decisions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Americans throw away 35 billion water bottles every year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Studies estimate there are 15-51 trillion pieces of plastic in the world’s oceans. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Fish in the North Pacific ingest 12,000 to 24,000 tons of plastic each year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Plastics act like sponges for toxins, contaminating the fish who ingest them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. Plastic is estimated to have been ingested by 60% of all seabirds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s your motivation to ditch plastic? ⠀

I’m starting to wonder if whales are also planning to escape to Mars. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s clean our act up so whales and humans alike can continue living on our beautiful planet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Commit to consume less, live plastic free, and be more aware of our individual impacts.

As we enter into 2019, let’s rethink how we consume.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Only 9% of plastic waste was recycled last year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s AmpliPhi what is possible and be the change the earth deserves.
