We’re losing animal species up to 10,000 times faster than the natural extinction rate and most people don’t even know it. This isn’t just about wildlife. It’s about the balance of our entire planet. We caused this and now it’s on us to fix it. I will delete and repost as many times as it takes for this to be seen. The future of every living thing depends on what we choose to do next. #wwf #extinction #savetheworld #deforestation #davidattenborough #ourplanet #stopclimatechange #globalwarming

Plastic bags can take hundreds of years to biodegrade, and even when (or if) they do, the microplastics they release can pollute our soil and water. Opt for reusable bags, they do biodegrade, and they’re super cute too! Separating your plastics, metals, paper/card, and food makes a bigger difference than you might think. When all waste goes into one bin, it generally ends up in landfill, as the sorting process takes too long. By recycling, waste can often be reused, which in turn reduces the need for new materials. Using reusable plastics and avoiding single-use plastics helps to reduce non-biodegradable waste that ends up in landfills, the oceans, and on our streets. It also helps to preserve resources such as oil, energy, and water that are needed to make more of these plastics. Walking and cycling reduce air pollution, as fewer cars on the road means less CO₂ pollution entering the atmosphere. They also help keep us fit and are great for our wellbeing! Buses, trains, and trams are also great forms of public transport for journeys that might not be doable on foot or bike. They help save money and protect the environment too! You could try all of these or even just one and it would still make a difference :) #stopclimatechange #globalwarming #ourplanet
