"Last year, the UN Environment Programme (Unep) said lawsuits challenging govt & corporate inaction on the climate breakdown have become an important driver of change. There have been more than 2,500 lawsuits relating to the climate crisis around the world – & many relate to the ocean." Keep going.

when people are expressing anger and disappointment because an artist whose work they really liked turned out to be a creep it's a cool move to make sure everyone knows you never liked that artist's work in the first place, always remind people that you're better than them when they are feeling low

Lately, when he's feeling energetic, my husband will say he is "full of bees." I told him that the saying is "full of beans," but according to him, that doesn't make sense. Just now he is attempting to do a task he's put off for a year because he "has the bees" to do it.

"It's a perfect matchup of vulnerable neighbourhoods & populations along with low #TreeCanopy cover. That's something that's common all across North America, so Calgary's not unique in that sense, but it's something that we can really back up with data as well." #TreeEquity #yyc
