🌳💙 The Tree-Ocean Connection: Why Trees Matter for Our Oceans 💙🌊� "Life on earth is inconceivable without trees," said Anton Chekhov, and the same holds true for our oceans. 🌍 Discover the crucial role trees play in preserving our waterways: 1. Ocean Acidification Protectors: Trees combat ocean acidification by absorbing CO2, safeguarding marine life like coral reefs and shell-forming organisms. 🌳💧 2. Temperature Harmony: Oxygen released by trees regulates water temperatures, supporting the growth and reproduction of aquatic species. 🌬️🌡️ 3. Runoff Guardians: Trees act as a shield against harmful runoff, filtering out pollutants and preserving the delicate balance of ocean ecosystems. 🛡️🌱 In nature's symphony, trees play a melody of roles—filtering chemicals, regulating temperatures, and reducing ocean acidification. Their impact on our oceans is immeasurable. 🌊🌳 �Stand with us to protect our green guardians! 🌏💙 �� #TreesForOceans #ProtectOurForests #TreeWisdom #SustainableFuture #SustainableEcosystems #OceanProtection #ForestPreservation #MarineConservation #EcoBalance #oureartheveryday #fightdeforestation #plantmoretrees #planttrees�

✨🌍 According to the UN, an area the size of South Africa has vanished due to deforestation since 1990, with the equivalent of Panama disappearing annually. 😢 The impact on our planet is staggering, contributing to 15% of greenhouse gas emissions and causing the loss of countless species. Amidst this devastation, photographer Sebastião Salgado and his wife Lélia decided to take action. When Salgado took over family land in Minas Gerais, Brazil, instead of the tropical paradise that he remembered as a child, he found the trees cut down and the wildlife gone. He was devastated. Witnessing the desolation of their native Brazilian rainforest, they founded Instituto Terra, planting 4 million native saplings over two decades. 🌳🦋 Their efforts brought back life—172 bird species, 33 mammals, 293 plants, 15 reptiles, and 15 amphibians—all part of an ecosystem revived from scratch. Salgado emphasizes the power of trees to transform CO2 into life-sustaining oxygen, stating, "We need to embark on massive tree planting." 🌲💚 Their story proves that a small group of dedicated individuals can make a monumental difference. 🌏💪 Let's take inspiration from their journey and work together for the well-being of our planet. 🌿

Tropical forest loss in 2022 totaled 10 million acres. Why is preserving forests so important? Forests are carbon sinks that slow climate change by removing carbon from the atmosphere. Forest loss is the cause of about 10% of global warming. Trees absorb one-third of global emissions every year! Every tree matters! Protect our native forests. #nativeforests #enddeforestation #everytreematters #protectforests #protecttrees #climatechange #globalwarming #oureartheveryday #5gooddeeds #earthdayeveryday #forestgaurdians

🌍 ✨ Meet Ryan, an incredible young man making a big impact! At the young age of 3, Ryan discovered his passion for recycling. Inspired by a trip to the local recycling center with his dad, he decided to collect empty plastic bags from his neighbors, hoping they would save their recyclables for him. Little did he know that this simple act of kindness would turn into something far greater. Through his initiative, Ryan has built a loyal clientele all across Orange County, CA, who entrust him with their cans and bottles, knowing they will be recycled responsibly. Apart from his recycling efforts, Ryan actively engages in environmental education and projects. He gives presentations at schools, events, and conferences to inspire others to take action and make a positive impact on the environment. In this video he joins another inspiring young woman, Zoe Bystrov of Youth for Lake Simcoe, in Ontario, Canada for a lake clean up. Ryan’s story serves as a powerful reminder that even one person, regardless of age, can make a significant difference in the world. 💚🌍🙌 @ryans_recycling @buschsystems

🍏 Meet Tom Brown, the modern-day Johnny Appleseed! 🌳🍎 For decades, Tom has scoured Appalachia, discovering and preserving rare apple varieties. He's found over 1200 and showcases 700+ at Heritage Apples in North Carolina. 🍎 Tom's mission isn't just about finding apples; it's about preserving them for future generations. 🌿🌍 🌱 Tom's not doing this alone; he generously shares his discoveries with others to save as many as possible. 🌳🌎 And did you know that planting apples from seeds creates different varieties? Tom's work involves grafting onto specific rootstock to preserve the unique qualities of each apple.

 Preserving heritage fruits and veggies 🌱🍏 is key for biodiversity, culture, taste, climate, and food security. Let's cherish our food diversity for all generations and let's salute Tom Brown for his incredible efforts in preserving apple heritage and biodiversity! 👏 🙌🍏 #HeritageApples #Biodiversity #ApplePreservation #HeritageCrops #BiodiversityMatters #oureartheveryday #smallactbigimpact #johnnyappleseed #appletrees #foodsecurity #foodpreservation #rareapples 🍅
