Carbon tax accounts for 0.3 percent increase in food prices. That's 30 cents on a $100 grocery bill. Remember that next time you're promised affordability at the grocery store by axing the carbon tax. https://t.co/giwyYcQopY

These are some of the last of old growth that exists anywhere. It's quiet. It's peaceful. We took a crazy road to even access this. This is what the elders and the land Defenders are fighting to preserve for future generations. War of the Woods II #fairycreek

Fur farms are effectively large machines for mutating novel avian flu into novel mammalian flu: a big jump in the direction of humans. The Finnish authorities recognise this, so have decided to clos… no [checks notes] keep them open? But [checks notes again] kill all the birds?
Finnish Wildlife Agency has given out permits to cull wild birds around fur farms, including one locally vulnerable species. Let's be clear here: culling of wild birds to prevent spread of avian influenza DOES NOT make sense at all and it can be counterproductive.
