We are the inclusive community for the conscious generation

A series of monthly events focused on promoting sustainable, ethical living.

Dutch artist, Daan Roosegaarde travelled with his light installation ‘Water Light’, to create a virtual flood that submerges visitors in a blue-tinted dreamscape! 🌊 . Daan creates art partly in frustration of governments lack of action, but also to show individuals that things can be done, even if it is just through art to raise awareness of #climatechange . The waves portray almost the ghost of climate change future, a haunting but mesmerizing sight! A sight that people feel is a distant risk, but in reality the effects could be much sooner! . 💡Rising seas are from man-made climate change = thermal expansion of seawater + influx of melting glaciers (due to global warming) . 💡Sea levels are rising at 3.4mm per year – the fastest rise Earth has ever experienced in 3,000years! . 💡We are likely to see an extra 1.3m rise in the next 80years if greenhouse gas emissions are not rapidly reduced! . 💡Up to 216 million people currently live on land that could be below sea level or regular flood levels by 2100. China as well as India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia and Japan are the most at risk!

Nothing should be banned that raises the awareness of an important issue that needs to be fixed! — ✨If you don't know why Palm Oil is so bad then please read and share these facts below . 💡300 football fields of forest cleared every hour to make room for palm plantations! . 💡Orangutan population decreased by 50% in the last 10yrs as a result . 💡Opens up access for poaches, with a shocking rise in Sumatran tiger hunting, with fears of extinction in less than 3yrs if nothing is done . 💡Clearing 1hectare of forest can release 6,000tons of carbon dioxide! Indonesia have cleared more than 10million hectares! . 💡Industry responsible for destroying entire villages and forced child labour! . 💡RSPO Sustainable Palm Oil – only 35% of palm growers stick to guidelines #noplanetbcommunity
This 18-year old and many other American teenagers are on a mission to secure the legal right to a safe climate and a healthy atmosphere for all present and future generations! 🌎 — For the last few years Ajj Piper (pictured above) and other teenagers apart of Our Children’s Trust @youthvgov have been actively trying to sue the Federal Government in America to take more action on #climatechange ! — With both Obama and Trump administrations successfully so far derailing their lawsuits against the government, their fate now awaits the final decisions of The Ninth District Court 🤞 — I’m sure we can all relate to this 18-year boy in someway! He bravely quit school to become a full-time activist, breaking away from the traditional route, in hope of making a real impact! He admits he has regrets and sometimes feels like his life is worthless, but when he has the opportunity to do a TEDTalk and stand up against the government in the courtroom, it reminds him that it’s worth the risk! 🤜Read more here about Our Children’s Trust campaigns and legal battles www.ourchildrenstrust.org source: grist #noplanetbcommunity

Instead, gas power plants would continue to exist. But still a great move in the right direction 🌎💚🌎#noplanetbcommunity #zerowaste
Palau Issues A Nationwide Ban Of Sunscreens To Save Coral Reefs 🙏 — This tiny island will be confiscating most sunscreen brands from tourists if found when visiting, and will not be sold in local stores — Researchers estimate that over 5,000 metric tons of sunscreen wash off of swimmers each year. This “swimmer pollution” threatens a large part of the coral life in the ocean and indirectly many other ocean species as well 🌎3,500 brands of sunscreens have been found to contain harmful ingredients 🚫 — Aim to avoid brands that contain these two chemicals: oxybenzone or octinoxate — 💡If you are feeling creative, why not try to make your own using this recipe: 1. Melt and mix shea butter, coconut oil and jojoba/sesame/sunflower oil completely. 2. Once fully mixed turn off the heat and let it cool. 3. Add zinc oxide, vitamin E oil and essential oils. 4. Pour the mixture into a jar #noplanetbcommunity
