“There are ways that we human beings can use our ingenuity to get us out of this trap that we've built for ourselves. We just have to have the collective will to do it.” Rick Ridgeway Co-Founder (Cascale), Former VP of Environmental Affairs in Patagonia. We each need to take bold action if we are to create a liveable future for ourselves and all the species we share this planet with. It is time to rethink our actions and make conscious decisions that protect our planet's future. If we listen to these words and take a minute to pause and look at how we can all take part with our everyday actions. By blending Indigenous Knowledge with modern science, we can create pathways to a more sustainable future.  Let’s take responsibility for our footprint and work towards restoring the balance.

🌍 Earth Day: A Call to Action for Our Planet! 🌿 As professionals and global citizens, we hold the keys to drive change towards a sustainable future. The need for environmental responsibility has never been more pressing. Did you know that over the past 50 years, human activities have reduced wildlife populations by an average of 68% (worldwildlife.org, 2022)? Or that by 2050, the amount of plastic in the ocean is expected to outweigh fish (weforum.org, 2016)? 🌱 What is Earth Day?  Earth Day, celebrated annually on April 22nd, marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. It's a day to reflect on our planet, our environment, and what we, as individuals, corporations, and governments worldwide can do to help keep them healthy. 👩💼 Professionally Speaking:  As someone deeply concerned about environmental issues, I am grateful to work at a company that aligns with my values. At Biocodex Polska, not only am I a proud member of the CSR task force, but I actively participate in coordinating various sustainability initiatives. This role has been incredibly rewarding, offering me hands-on experience in CSR, non-financial reporting, and more. It’s empowering to contribute to our corporate social responsibility goals and see the tangible impact of our collective efforts. 📣 Take Action!  This Earth Day, I encourage you to take personal and professional steps to reduce your impact: - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Evaluate your consumption patterns and waste management.  - Support Green Businesses: Opt for services and products from companies committed to sustainable practices.  - Educate and Advocate: Share knowledge and advocate for policies that protect our environment.

Today we celebrate wild animals and plants for World Wildlife Day. People everywhere rely on wildlife and biodiversity-based resources to meet our needs - from food, to fuel, medicines, housing, and clothing. For us to enjoy the benefits and the beauty that nature brings us and our planet. We hold a duty of care for the future of the children, young people and families we work with and our determination to play our part in contributing to a sustainable and inclusive future At MacKillop, we have outlined our commitment to the future in our Sustainability Strategy, which aligns with external strategies, UN Sustainability Goals, and the principles outlined in Laudato Si, an encyclical of Pope Francis which focuses on care for the natural environment and all people.

In February, under #ProjectDawn, an initiative of Planet Trotter Officials, where we mix outdoor adventure sports with #sustainability to uplift small communities, we achieved a significant milestone by planting #450trees, marking a crucial step forward in our mission towards a greener future. However, our journey doesn't end here; it's just the beginning. We're scaling up our efforts to extend a helping hand to #localfarmers, fostering a symbiotic relationship between agriculture and environmental conservation. By integrating tree planting into agricultural landscapes, we're not only enriching soil fertility and enhancing biodiversity but also providing farmers with sustainable solutions for long-term resilience. This shift towards a greener future isn't just about planting trees; it's about revolutionizing our approach to land use, prioritizing sustainability, and forging stronger connections between communities and their natural surroundings. Together, under #Project Dawn, an initiative of Planet Trotter Officials, we're cultivating a landscape of abundance, where both people and the planet thrive in harmony.

Planting trees has significant importance within Rotary International due to its alignment with the organization's commitment to environmental sustainability and community well-being. Trees play a vital role in addressing environmental challenges, such as climate change, soil erosion, and air pollution, while also enhancing biodiversity and providing habitat for wildlife. For Rotary International, tree planting is not only a way to promote ecological balance but also a symbol of long-term investment in the health of future generations. Through initiatives like the *Plant a Tree Challenge*, Rotary members are encouraged to engage their local communities in tree-planting efforts, promoting environmental stewardship and raising awareness about the importance of green spaces. These projects foster collaboration and partnerships, aligning with Rotary’s mission to bring together leaders to take action on critical issues. Tree planting projects also leave a lasting legacy, contributing to the organization’s broader goals of sustainable development and improving the quality of life globally. #treeplanting #rotarylifestyle #environmentalsustainability

The latest Living Planet Report from WWF reveals a staggering 73% decline in the population sizes of over 5,000 vertebrate species between 1970 and 2020. This is yet another wake-up call for all of us. The technology for change in most businesses is already here; now, it's time to shift our mindset and take immediate action for a more sustainable future! #SustainableFuture #ProtectOurPlanet #NatureMatters

We‘re on a journey to push #sustainability to new heights – from our products to our supply chain, and even in the #environment. 🌿 ✨ In collaboration with ClimatePartner and Schutzgemeinschaft Deutscher Wald Landesverband Bayern e. V. (German Forest Protection Association), our team and their families rolled up their sleeves for a #treeplanting event. 🌳 The outcome is inspiring: The first 200 out of 4,000 trees were planted in a Bavarian state forest, laying the foundation for further initiatives. However, these aren't just any trees – they're resilient Douglas firs, specially chosen to deal better with #climatechange. Though they are only seedlings now, they promise a #greenerfuture that will have a #positiveimpact on both #nature and #futuregenerations. 🌱 💚 #PERI #PERImpact

New York Climate Week: Celebrating Champions of Nature and Climate Action! In the quest to mitigate social, nature, and climate crises, many leaders go above and beyond, tirelessly advocating for change and making strides in sustainable practices. Today, I want to highlight a standout leader in this vital fight: ROSELYN FOSUAH ADJEI As the Director of the Climate Change Directorate at the Forestry Commission of Ghana, Roselyn embodies the spirit of dedication and perseverance. Her pivotal work in reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation champions forest conservation as a cornerstone of broader environmental efforts, underscoring its vital role even in a complex market landscape. The rate of deforestation and degradation continues at an alarming pace, overshadowing the slower—and much needed—advancements in other areas of environmental conservation. Despite this challenge, leaders like Roselyn are bringing high-integrity forest conservation back to the forefront, emphasizing robust biodiversity and integrating core social benefits. Here's to more visionaries like Roselyn, with special hats off to Eron Bloomgarden, Leonardo das Neves Carvalho, @Francisca Arara, and Eliane Xunakalo, for their determined commitment to our planet's health and leadership that inspires us all to strive for a sustainable and equitable world. #Leadership #Sustainability #ClimateAction #ForestConservation #REDD+ #CCB #EnvironmentalProtection Herbert Alexander von Uslar Stefanie Kaiser Marco Rosa Carlos Luiz Guedes Neto Luiz Tonisi Murillo Aragão Thiago de Aragao Mathias Meharez Thiago Batista Amintas Brandão Jr., PhD Pieter do Amaral Patricia Vasques Monaliza Conrado Ju Mesquita Marcelo P.
