Unveiling the Plight: The Negative Impact of Seed Theft on Indigenous Communities
The theft of seeds from indigenous communities has far-reaching consequences, posing a grave threat to their cultural identity, food security, and sustainable practices. In this exploration, we shed light on the alarming repercussions of seed theft, underscoring the urgent need to address this issue. From the loss of traditional crops to the disruption of ecosystems and the erosion of indigenous rights, the impacts are both profound and multifaceted. Together, we must stand against seed theft and advocate for the preservation and empowerment of indigenous communities.
Effects of Seed Theft on Indigenous Communities:
Loss of Cultural Heritage: Seed theft undermines indigenous communities' ability to preserve their cultural practices and pass down traditional knowledge.
Threat to Food Security: The theft of indigenous seeds disrupts local food systems, reducing access to nutritious and culturally significant crops.
Erosion of Biodiversity: Seed theft contributes to the loss of diverse plant varieties, weakening ecosystems and diminishing resilience in the face of environmental challenges.
Disruption of Livelihoods: Indigenous farmers face economic hardships as their seed sovereignty is compromised, affecting their self-sustainability and economic independence.
Violation of Indigenous Rights: Seed theft infringes upon the rights of indigenous communities to control and protect their traditional seeds, exacerbating historical injustices.
Together, let us raise awareness about the negative impact of seed theft on indigenous communities and work towards promoting justice, preservation, and empowerment.

A Wish Before Midnight . . . . . Across an amethystine night sky, the fleeting arcs of shooting stars form incandescent traces. Their distorted echoes mirrored by our thoughts, influence our desire to make a wish. [] The Doomsday Clock was originally intended to show how close we are to nuclear catastrophe. Nowadays it is also used to show how close we are to a climate catastrophe. It is currently set at one hundred seconds before midnight. Many believe we’ve already past that point. [] Biodiversity is essential for the processes that support all life on Earth. However, in a list of threats to biodiversity, climate change ranks fifth. The change in our use of land and the oceans is ranked number one. It is followed by species overexploitation, the global spread of invasive species and disease, and pollution. These threats are a consequence of how we treat the world. Their impact can be reduced by changing how we consume resources, produce food, by genuinly restricting urban sprawl, and improving how we interact with Nature [] Each and every one of us can make a difference by confronting complacency, acting locally, and going beyond good intentions and wishes. [] Borrowing from the Dalai Lama “We can't help the planet just by making a wish, to do so we have to take action.” [] Another digitally metamorphosed ICM image.

I support the new clean auto rules! And I oppose defunding climate policies!
316 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!
I am thrilled that the U.S. finalized strong climate change rule for cars yesterday. These rules will force automakers to ramp up electric vehicle sales and slash emissions from gas-powered models. The rule also would reduce fine particulate matter — the most risky form of pollution to our health. Only seven countries met global guidelines for it last year. The fact that the U.S. is leading the world on climate action is great news!
I know that fossil fuel companies are likely to challenge this rule. I want you to stand with the Biden administration and fight back. We are in a climate emergency and we are losing. We need to do much, much more to avoid the worst consequences of a warming planet. This strong rule is a needed next step. I expect Congress to back it and do even more.
As for the Republicans’ trying to defund President Biden’s green tax credits? Absolutely unacceptable. I consider it an outrage that GOP lawmakers are putting oil and gas companies’ profits above our children’s futures. They need to stop right now. Thanks.

A Tale of Two Crises: Climate Change and Julian Assange
In the modern world, two crises have captured global attention and stirred intense debate: the environmental catastrophe unfolding at the Great Barrier Reef due to climate change, and the legal battle faced by Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, fighting extradition to the United States. While seemingly disparate, these crises share underlying themes of secrecy, accountability, and the urgent need for action.
The Great Barrier Reef, often hailed as Australia's national treasure and a global wonder, is facing unprecedented threats from climate change-induced coral bleaching. Scientists, researchers, and environmentalists warn of the irreversible damage inflicted upon this fragile ecosystem, which supports a diverse array of marine life and plays a crucial role in the planet's ecosystem. The alarming statistics reveal a grim reality: over 50% of reef cover has disappeared since 1980, with projections indicating further declines in the coming decade. The urgency of addressing climate change and its impact on the Reef cannot be overstated, as its destruction carries profound implications for biodiversity, ecosystems, and coastal communities worldwide.
In parallel, the legal saga of Julian Assange highlights the complex interplay between transparency, freedom of the press, and government accountability. Assange's battle against extradition to the United States, where he faces espionage charges for publishing classified documents, has sparked intense debate over the limits of journalistic freedom and the rights of whistleblowers. While the legal intricacies of the case are significant, the broader implications for press freedom and government transparency are equally profound. Assange's plight underscores the importance of protecting those who expose truth and challenge authority, even in the face of powerful adversaries.
Despite their seemingly disparate nature, the crises of the Great Barrier Reef and Julian Assange share a common thread: the imperative to confront hidden truths and address systemic injustices. While Assange's case unfolds in courtrooms and legal arenas, the environmental crisis at the Great Barrier Reef unfolds in the natural world, where the consequences of inaction are equally dire. Both crises demand urgent attention and collective action, as they represent existential threats to the fabric of our society and the health of our planet.
In the final analysis, the real problem confronting humanity today is not just political or environmental—it is a crisis of secrecy, denial, and apathy in the face of overwhelming evidence. Climate change and government censorship are not isolated issues but interconnected manifestations of a deeper systemic failure to prioritize truth, accountability, and sustainability. To address these challenges, we must confront the uncomfortable truths they reveal and mobilize collective action to safeguard our planet and our freedoms for future generations.

Environmental Racism
 By: Megan Matthews 
Desirable or Undesirable 
Where you grow up can determine your future and it can determine your level of education, health status, and the place you live. Race, wealth, and class play a significant role in Environmental Justice. When you think of the word Enviromental, water and air come to mind not race but environmental Racism is about the political policies and practices that discriminate against people of color including Black African Americans, Latinx Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans. 
“Zip code is the most powerful predictor of health. And all communities and all zip codes are not created equal.” -Dr. Robert Bullard  
Many neighborhoods established in Sacramento created in the 1900-1950s were determined through what are called Race Covenants. Race Covenants are documents created by the city and states it decided who could purchase land in certain areas. It stated that you could purchase land if you were White descent, but you could not purchase the land if you were Black, Latinx, Asian American, or anything other than White. They were used to justify property values and to create distinguished areas for people of color and white people. Areas were considered “more desirable” in white neighborhoods and “less desirable” in areas of people of color. The more desirable areas had more funding from the city whereas the less desirable areas had little to no funding. This also played a role in the establishment of the neighborhoods. Neighborhoods with more funding had lighted sidewalks, parks, playgrounds, trees, grass, grocery stores with quality food, access to medical care, funded school districts, public pools, and public transportation. Less desirable areas lacked a lot of these same resources and struggled financially. It was also based on the level of class. Wealthier White individuals could purchase land in more desirable areas while everyone else fell into undesirable neighborhoods becausee of the lack of financial stability. People of color were not given the same opportunities and they are still trying to combat that now in the 21st century.  
Tumblr media
Health problems are significantly higher in the undesired neighborhoods because of environmental waste and pollution due to landfills, sewage plants, and other facilities. People who experience Environmental Racism are more likely to develop more health problems for example asthma and heart disease. They are exposed to more Environmental toxins such as chemicals: lead, benzine, chromium, PCBs, particulate matter (PM), and other harmful toxins. Lead and arsenic are seen in the soils that children play in. Undesirable neighborhoods are also near freeways and high-traffic areas so vehicle pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, benzene, and formaldehyde are higher which is the main source of unhealthy air quality in Sacramento. Also, the Sacramento River includes pollutants such as microplastics, copper, mercury, methylmercury, chemical pesticides from agricultural industries, and sewage overflow.  
Tumblr media
youtube
Many neighborhoods in Sacramento were also redlined. Redlining was the outlining of neighborhoods where people of color could not purchase houses outside of the redline. White affluent neighborhoods in Sacramento include Land Park, Curtis Park, River Park, East Sacramento, Greenhaven, and Folsom while neighborhoods of people of color include, Oak Park, South Sacramento, Del Paso Heights, and Meadowview.  
Tumblr media
The reason I decided to talk about Environmental Racism in Sacramento was because I was born and raised here. It is my hometown, and I have been to school here my whole life. I grew up going swimming and partying in High School at the Sacramento River clay banks. 
Tumblr media
As for the future of Sacramento, the city has created a bill (SB 1000) in the Planning for Healthy Communities Act. For more information click the link below and read the article!

Carrie and Mary Dann led a persistent fight against U.S. control of Western Shoshone lands, grounded in the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley. Their legal challenges, resistance to grazing fees, and environmental activism marked them as pivotal figures in indigenous sovereignty and environmental justice.

Pakistan's Battle with Climate Change Effects on Society and Human Welfare
Pakistan, where climates converge in a single dance from the K2 icy peaks to Karachi's coastal trance. In this varied weathered romance where the dance of economics is found in parallel. Surrounded by titans, east to west, economic climaxes, a symphony of relish.
A canvas painted with carbon's tale, where 250 million souls set their sail. Amidst billions to demand so high in the sky it soars, reaching the heavens nigh. A battle expands against climate's range of Pakistan, a warrior in the winds of change.

The Biden Administration's Bold Stance On Climate Change: Taking Action For A Sustainable Future
Tumblr media
In the face of mounting evidence and increasing urgency, the Biden administration has taken significant strides to address one of the most pressing global challenges of our time: climate change.
Since taking office in January 2021, President Joe Biden and his team have made it abundantly clear that they are committed to tackling the climate crisis head-on.
This blog post will delve into the Biden administration's stance on climate change and the actions they have taken to address this critical issue.
A Paradigm Shift In Climate Policy
The Biden administration's stance on climate change represents a radical departure from the previous administration's approach.
Unlike the skepticism and disregard for climate science that characterized the Trump era, the Biden administration acknowledges the scientific consensus that human activities are driving global warming.
They also recognize that climate change poses a severe threat to the planet's ecosystems, economies, and public health.
Rejoining The Paris Agreement
One of the first actions President Biden took after assuming office was to rejoin the Paris Agreement.
This international accord aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, with a further goal of limiting the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
By recommitting to this agreement, the United States signaled its intention to be a global leader in the fight against climate change.
Ambitious Climate Targets
The Biden administration has set ambitious climate targets, pledging to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50-52% below 2005 levels by 2030.
This goal aligns with the recommendations of climate scientists and demonstrates a commitment to substantial and immediate action.
Achieving this target will require a comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. energy system, a transition to clean energy sources, and aggressive policies to promote sustainability.
Clean Energy Revolution
To achieve their emissions reduction targets, the Biden administration has proposed a Clean Energy Revolution that includes investments in clean energy infrastructure, electric vehicle charging stations, and clean energy research and development.
The administration's American Jobs Plan aims to create millions of good-paying jobs while simultaneously addressing the climate crisis.
This plan not only focuses on reducing emissions but also on building a more resilient and equitable future.
Clean Energy Standard
One of the key policy proposals put forth by the Biden administration is the Clean Energy Standard (CES).
This initiative aims to transition the United States to 100% clean electricity by 2035.
By incentivizing the production of clean energy and penalizing the use of fossil fuels, the CES would be a critical step toward reducing emissions in the power sector, which is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.
Electric Vehicle Revolution
The administration is also pushing for an electric vehicle (EV) revolution.
Their plan includes substantial investments in EV charging infrastructure, tax credits to encourage EV adoption, and a commitment to transitioning the federal vehicle fleet to electric power.
This initiative not only reduces emissions but also supports innovation in the transportation sector, creating green jobs in the process.
Environmental Justice
The Biden administration recognizes that climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable and marginalized communities.
To address this issue, they have emphasized environmental justice in their climate policies.
This includes directing 40% of clean energy and infrastructure investments to disadvantaged communities, as well as establishing an Environmental and Climate Justice Division at the Department of Justice to ensure equitable enforcement of environmental laws.
Conclusion
The Biden administration's stance on climate change represents a significant departure from the past, signaling a strong commitment to addressing the climate crisis.
Their ambitious targets, investments in clean energy, and emphasis on environmental justice demonstrate a comprehensive approach to tackling climate change.
While the road ahead is challenging, the actions taken by the Biden administration offer hope that the United States can play a leading role in the global effort to combat climate change and pave the way for a more sustainable and equitable future.
