#Repost @micahbazant ・・・ In the dark soil of living forests, all trees are connected through their roots to underground networks of mycorrhizal fungi. Through this web they share nutrients and information. They synchronize their photosynthesis so they're all nourished at the **same rate** despite their individual conditions of shade or sun, sickness or wellness. Trees can even nurture their felled relatives by sharing nutrients through their roots. Some stumps are kept alive by their tree kin for centuries. . . “Through unity, survival. All flourishing is mutual" (#robinwallkimmerer #BraidingSweetgrass) Scientists are just beginning to study this, but Indigenous people have always known that plants are generous teachers and more-than-human beings worthy of respect. May we learn from our relatives and flourish together in the darkness. . . Acrylic painting of a landscape of stumps with glowing roots and new sprouts growing out of them. They are growing out of a starry black field and behind them is a blue red and yellow swirling, glowing sky. At the bottom are the words "Where there are roots there is life." . . 🎨@micahbazant with words by @la_chucha & @theyfab.

Real solutions to climate change must include democratic governance and ownership of 100% renewable energy, benefiting the communities most affected by climate change. *That* is what real climate leadership looks like. #CommunitiesNotCorporations #GCAS2018 #ItTakesRoots https://www.instagram.com/p/BnsNFCLFAgI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rsui6wi9l0zv

Carbon Pricing is Colonialism. We are outside the Hilton, where the capitalists are meeting to determine the future of our sky, without community input. #Sol2Sol #ittakesroots #offsetsincreasecarbon #nopoisonpermits (at Parc 55 Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnjTtYIBEqD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v5e8veeni3nf

Regrann from @dallasgoldtooth - Yesterday, a large bloc of California Natives led the largest climate march in the history of the US west coast! -- as is our common practice, we must always respect, center and uplift local Indigenous impacted voices, especially for mass mobilizations. In the case of this Climate March we made sure Indigenous peoples are at the front.....but what's more....we made sure that it was Native peoples originally from what is currently California that led our Indigenous bloc. And 30,000 people followed us! #ItTakesRoots #RiseForClimate - #regrann #Leonor https://www.instagram.com/p/BnjIB2CnLrR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l6tsoqvqfof4

I’ve worn out my hands from shoveling, my throat from yelling, and my feet from marching dancing running running running. I’ve stretched greatly to meet emerging needs, exercised passion, compassion, and humility, and radically stopped caring about annoying things I can’t change this week, and it’s only half over. Thanks @ggjalliance for making me earn my keep. #ItTakesRoots #Sol2Sol (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BniQVW6BTKW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ty7z3qv5m0r0
