Western Science is one way to view, understand and explore this wonderful universe we call home.
This Earth Week, we’re pausing to reflect on how science connects us to the natural world and each other, and how it can work to strengthen those connections or undermine them.
The theme for Earth Day this year is Our Power Our Planet. Thanks to for sharing these resources. Here are some of the actions that resonate with the work we’re doing at SciXchange and :
🌱Protect what works — scale proven solutions like renewable energy, efficiency, and ecosystem restoration already delivering results
📍Act locally — drive change in our own communities, where policy and impact are most immediate
🏃♀️Safeguard health — reduce pollution and climate risks that directly affect families and communities
What will you do to celebrate the Earth this week? Let us know👇🏽
