Today is the last day to watch the films of the 2021 edition of the Climate Crisis Film Festival! If you haven't done it already, create an account and explore the vast selection of the CCFF for free. There are some real pearls in the selection from countries or peoples whose voices are often not heard but are the first victims of the climate crisis. Very short films such as Matagi Mālohi: Strong Winds, showing in three minutes the extreme vulnerability of the people living in small pacific islands. Longer ones such as The Dry Years, that illustrates the impact of the lack of rain on goat-keepers in Chile, threatening their subsistence. Or longer features like Gather picturing indigenous Native Americans using food sovereignty as a way to reclaim their cultural identity. I like the diversity of the selections and the space given to women and indigenous peoples in the festival's programme quite a unique programme. And I wish I had more time to watch them all! Watch out, you might shed some tears. Access the film festival here: https://www.climatecrisisff.co.uk/program Photo: Mar y Cielo by Roberto and Juan Pablo Zamora, a carbon neutral film.

Brazil is the country of forests. When it stopped being a Portuguese colony and reached independence in 1822, the approximately 4.5 million inhabitants still had a green ocean to live with. As in the rest of the world, population and economic growth occurred from territorial expansion and exploitation of natural resources. The path to prosperity took place at the expense of the native vegetation that covered the landscape. The country has grown and developed, with a population of over 200 million people, vibrant cities and agriculture, cutting-edge industries, and has earned its place among the world's leading economies. The world, however, is no longer the same. The development model of the past brought degradation, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, pollution, water deficit and climate change caused by global warming. The future requires efficiency, innovation, inclusion, fairness and resilience to climate change. In the case of Brazil, the time has come to restore forests and natural ecosystems. Reconciling agricultural production with the conservation of natural resources and social inclusion will bring economic, social and environmental gains to Brazil. One of the paths is the recovery of millions of hectares of degraded land, through the planting of native trees of economic value and agroforestry systems, which generate jobs and good profitability in rural areas, in addition to contributing to food and water security. Brazil already has plans and laws capable of stimulating a new forest economy that arouses more and more interest from investors. What is the way for more rural producers to benefit from this potential and make the goal of restoring and reforesting 12 million hectares of forests and degraded areas a reality by 2030? The Soares family, Bruno, Silvany, Patrick and the couple Emerson and Viviane show how they are making the restoration happen, overcoming challenges and bottlenecks, renewing the landscape and their life stories. They are the Faces of Restoration.

Gather is an intimate portrait of the growing movement amongst Native Americans to reclaim their spiritual, political and cultural identities through food sovereignty, while battling the trauma of centuries of genocide. Gather follows Nephi Craig, a chef from the White Mountain Apache Nation (Arizona), opening an indigenous café as a nutritional recovery clinic; Elsie Dubray, a young scientist from the Cheyenne River Sioux Nation (South Dakota), conducting landmark studies on bison; and the Ancestral Guard, a group of environmental activists from the Yurok Nation (Northern California), trying to save the Klamath river. Watch Gather at the #CCFF2021 for free launching today at 4pm🎉

Every year, the world discards around 30 million metric tons of car and truck tires. The majority of these are reclaimed and used in recycled materials or burned as fuel, but that still leaves millions of tires that end up in landfills or are dumped illegally. Through negligence and unscrupulous intent, some portion of these unused waste tires find their way into the world’s oceans where they can cause serious harm. The toxic chemicals and microplastic pollution that tires can release into the environment are well documented, but now new research suggests a new way that tires can endanger wildlife: their shape. When tires end up in the world’s oceans their hollowed-out doughnut form can make them deadly for crustaceans, specifically hermit crabs. The study, published today in the journal Royal Society Open Science, finds that hermit crabs, which famously inhabit discarded shells, climb into abandoned tires seeking shelter or a meal only to find themselves unable to escape the recurved walls of the tire’s interior—and eventually they starve to death. In just one year, the researchers counted more than 1,200 hermit crabs that became imprisoned inside a set of six tires placed on the seafloor. Atsushi Sogabe, an ecologist at Hirosaki University in Japan and the study’s lead author, writes via email that his inspiration to conduct this study came while studying pipefish in Japan’s Mutsu Bay in 2012. During a research dive, he encountered a tire full of shells on the seafloor. Some of those shells contained hermit crabs, and Sogabe suspected that the tire’s shape created an ecological problem analogous to ghost fishing, in which lost pieces of fishing gear such as nets or crab traps keep capturing sea life but are never retrieved. To investigate whether hermit crabs couldn’t find their way out of a tire once they’d ventured inside, Sogabe and his collaborators set up a pair of experiments. In the field, Sogabe and his co-author fixed six passenger car tires to the seafloor with tent spikes in about 25 feet of water. The team left the tires to marinate in the brine for about a year and a half to more closely mimic tires that had spent long enough in the marine environment to accumulate algae and barnacles (during this period the researchers made sure to periodically rescue any sea creatures that entered the tires). Then for the next year Sogabe and his co-author swam down to the tires each month and counted the hermit crabs they had captured. After each of these visits, the researchers removed the animals from their rubber-walled prisons and released the critters a good distance away. All told, the tires racked up a total of 1,278 hermit crabs over the 12 months Sogabe and his co-author spent observing them, with the highest total coming in March when the team found 246 trapped hermit crabs. Presumably, had the researchers not intervened, nearly all of these animals would have perished inside the tires. The second experiment was conducted in the lab and was designed to test under controlled conditions hermit crabs’ abilities to escape an average car tire. The researchers dropped a tire inside a large aquarium and then released groups of ten hermit crabs at a time either inside or outside of the tire and gave them 18 hours to figure things out. Out of 120 individual hermit crabs from two different species, 19 managed to crawl inside the interior of the tire and none escaped. Between the two experiments, the researchers showed that hermit crabs have a tough time with submerged tires and that this form of marine pollution has the potential to harm an important part of many ocean ecosystems.......

The need for building environmental protection awareness When children are not told about environmental protection, they grow up and simply follow the examples set by the adults around them and these examples have not always been good. This has been going on for far too long and it is possible for our children to learn more about reusing, reducing, recycling, tree planting and more. If we are serious about saving our planet our children should be told about climate solutions so they can be prepared to be the change we want to see. At www.funwritings.com there are books with eco-friendly tips for the children, as adults have contributed to the eco-friendly kids project that is found there. The future is too important to be taken for granted, when we can decide that we want to see a green future and begin working towards having that today. We can teach our children in new ways and help them to go green. We will be making it possible for them to grow up, believing that they can solve the problems we are having now because of climate change. The climate solutions that scientists spoke about in the past were simplified, allowing children to learn about the zero waste plan so they can be prepared to contribute to a circular economy in the future. Jobs are changing quickly as technology improves and green jobs could be the only jobs that will be available in the future. It is more important for our children to be equipped to face the future in a new way at this time. www.funwritings.com offers great writing services and contributors to the eco-kids project have ordered their articles, lyrics, slogans, custom poetry, motivation and much more. Now that helping the children to be equipped to face the future in a better way, is such an easy think to do. Don't allow this opportunity to pass you by.

Indigenous communities around the world have a wealth of knowledge on sustainable environmental practices including responsible land management, regenerative farming practices and water conservation. Instead of taking away their lands and homes in the name of 'development', we need our leaders to work with them and establish improved and sustainable ways to manage our resources.

I developed the concept for OPAD's World Climate Civility Day, and I developed the Covid Catalog. Those two initiatives gave me the idea for the Climate Catalog. The climate catalog would be an explanation and recommendations a small pamphlet in digital format. Then you had 8 million viewers and when you have viewers this they can sign up to do something simple, print out these small catalogs and place them in local businesses in their communities. Formated as a digital feed also, but as the climate catalog a new way for everyone to address how to do our part for climate change. The catalog would simply be a way to bring together the loose knit community and solidify them into a core membership online and off line. Feedback and thoughts are the way to open change. The guidepost uses this same technique in 70 countries. Try it, questions welcome.
