Earth Hero

Happy Earth Day. 🌎Thanks to @AppStore for featuring us as app of the day. Have a great day and make our world a little better each day friends. #OnTheAppStore

Earth Day isn’t about being perfect. It’s easy to feel like you’re not doing enough.
Like your small choices don’t matter. But real change doesn’t come from a few people doing everything perfectly. It comes from millions of people doing something.

We’ve all heard: “Just recycle it.” So we rinse, sort, try. But only ~9% of plastic has ever been recycled—while production kept rising. Not about blame. What works:
Reduce > Reuse > Recycle Progress > perfection. What plastic do you use most?

You think throwing food away is harmless. It’s not. Landfills choke food of oxygen → it rots → releases methane (80x stronger than CO₂). Your trash is heating the planet.

Cargo ships used to run on wind. Then engines replaced sails and shipping became one of the most fossil-fuel dependent industries on Earth. Now a French startup is bringing wind back with 200-foot sails and a cargo ship that could cut emissions by up to 90%. Here’s how 🧵

If the planet is warming, why do we still get extreme cold snaps? It seems backwards. But this is actually one of the clearest signs our climate is changing.

The planet doesn't need one hero. It needs all of us. Every sustainable choice adds up. Every action matters. Join the movement. Track your impact. Take real steps. Download Earth Hero today. #EarthHero #ClimateChange #ClimateAction

Recent U.S. Federal government actions have slowed climate progress, from reduced renewable energy support to weakened international commitments. Real examples. Real consequences. Swipe to learn more. 🌱 Source: The White House, The Guardian #ClimatePolicy #trump #government

@WeatherProf This is what climate chaos looks like up close. Extreme storms, long lasting impacts, freezing cold...it’s a wake up call that our weather isn’t ‘normal’ anymore.

Just watch how gargantuan this storm is. I still can’t get over it. In terms of girth, it’s def in the top 5 that I recall. This will impact 2/3rds of the nation and half of the country in a big way. Longevity too, with us Friday-Monday! And the brutal cold that follows. 🥶 Disruption deep into next week! #Snow #ice #storm

@Boenau Proof that investing in people and safety pays off… literally.

NYC was an early adopter of protected bike lanes and started tracking the outcomes. After their 8th & 9th Ave projects were complete, locally-based businesses saw retail sales soar. Residents are going to spend money somewhere, but they're drawn to safer streets. 💰💰💰

@ECOWARRIORSS Imagine what’s happening everywhere else. This is tragedy caused by our waste...

@MikeHudema it’s time we treat the planet like it matters more than their bottom line

Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies. Pass it on. #ActOnClimate

@ProfBillMcGuire This wasn’t ignorance, it was a business model. When profit comes before a livable future, accountability has to be real.

Make no mistake, the criminals who run these corporations are fully aware that they are destroying our world, and bequeathing a savage future to our children and theirs But they just don't care. Money means more to them They need to be locked up theguardian.com/environment/20…

@RARohde Yes—and the longer we wait, the harder it will be to catch up.

For 50 years, global warming had a very consistent trend (+0.19 °C/decade) with a boring, predictable range of natural variations around it. During the last three years, we've broken out above that range, suggesting the pace of change has quickened.

@ecochampionhk Nature has been screaming lately.

@EarthHeroOrg Hard to argue with this list. We keep burning fossils, shredding forests, poisoning seas, then act surprised. Delay is the strategy. Nature does not negotiate. It responds.

Top climate problems→ • Fossil fuels: 38.1B tonnes CO₂ in 2025 drive warming • Politicization: Slows action as risks ⬆️ • Biodiversity loss: Weakens ecosystems that support food & climate • Plastic pollution: Harms oceans, wildlife & land • Deforestation: Cuts carbon sinks

@ecochampionhk Agreed. The message was quite clear. Maybe we didn't take it seriously because cartoons are inherently unserious.

@EarthHeroOrg We watched, nodded, moved on. Forests paid the bill, not us. That cartoon wasn’t subtle, just inconvenient.

This was a warning, not a movie. Some messages age. This one didn't. 🎥 Video Credit: The Lorax (1972). #earthhero #climateaction #climatechange #sustainability #lorax
