#WorldWildlifeDay | Globally, up to 1.6 billion people, including many of the poorest communities on the planet, rely on forests and forest species for subsistence, livelihoods and income generation.

Forests are home to 80% of all terrestrial wildlife. The ecosystems they sustain are essential to global biodiversity, human livelihoods and the broader needs of societies and economies globally.

Forests absorb nearly one-third of all CO2 released from burning fossil fuels every year.

We currently face a quadruple planetary emergency: a climate crisis, a biodiversity-loss crisis, an inequality crisis, and a global health crisis. Forests and forest communities are at the center of each of these challenges.

Ever wondered what it would actually be like to give up plastic completely? Get up close and personal with @max_ranchi from #GraccoAlta in Italy about his personal journey to zero-waste. Link in bio. #PlasticFreeLives #KickOutPlastic

In honour of #BlackHistoryMonth, @KickOutPlastic would like to show its appreciation for the many great Black leaders who have stood up to environmental challenges in the name of social, racial, and environmental justice.

Dr. Robert Bullard is often referred to as the “father of the environmental justice movement.” He has been one of the leading voices on the issue for decades.

In 1979, he testified as an expert in the first-ever lawsuit that challenged environmental discrimination using civil rights laws, after a landfill was planned for a Black middle-class residential neighbourhood in Houston. Bullard’s analysis showed that while African-Americans made up 25% of Houston’s population, 82% of the landfills and waste incinerators were placed in Black communities.

In 2008, he was named one of Newsweek’s 13 “Environmental Leaders of the Century”. In 2013, he was the first African-American to be honoured with the Sierra Club John Muir Award. Dr Bullard has authored numerous books on the prominence of waste facilities in predominately African-American areas all over the nation, as well as others that address urban land use, industrial facility siting, housing, transportation, climate justice, emergency response, smart growth, and equity.

When asked what keeps him going in his quest for environmental justice, Bullard answers, "People who fight... People who do not let the garbage trucks and the landfills and the petrochemical plants roll over them. That has kept me in this movement for the last 25 years." Another thing he believes is that if you live on this earth, if you breathe this air then you are an environmentalist.
