🌍🦁 *Celebrate Wildlife Conservation Day* December 4th is Wildlife Conservation Day, when we’re reminded of the incredible biodiversity on our planet—and the urgent need to protect it. 🌱 From majestic elephants to tiny pollinators, every species plays a critical role in maintaining the balance of our ecosystems. Here’s how climate change and habitat loss are affecting wildlife: 🦋 Declining Populations: Species like monarch butterflies have seen drastic declines due to habitat destruction and changing weather patterns. 🐾 Shifting Habitats: Rising temperatures are forcing species like polar bears and mountain goats to move to new areas, threatening their survival. 🌊 Ocean Warming: Coral reefs, home to 25% of marine life, are dying off due to warming seas and acidification. What can YOU do to help? 🌱 Advocate for climate action 🌳 Support organizations restoring habitats ♻️ Reduce your ecological footprint Let’s stand together to protect the wildlife that makes our planet so extraordinary. 💚 🌐 www.climb4climate.org  ✉️ info@climb4climate.org 🌿 Follow for info about upcoming events 🌎 Like and share to help fight climate change #WildlifeConservationDay #ProtectOurPlanet #ClimateAction Sources: [World Wildlife Fund] [United Nations Environment Programme] [National Geographic]

🌎📉 *November in the U.S.: How Climate Change is Shaping Our Seasons* As we reflect on November’s crisp autumn air and falling leaves, it’s clear: climate change is reshaping our seasons. Here’s how it’s affected the U.S. in November over the past 25-50 years: 📉 Shorter Falls, Longer Winters: Fall foliage is peaking later in many regions, and early snowstorms are becoming more intense due to shifting weather patterns. 🌡️ Warming Temperatures: November has been trending warmer, especially in the western U.S., altering ecosystems and impacting agriculture. 🌪️ More Extreme Storms: The Gulf and Southeastern states have seen late-season hurricanes and heavier rainfall, fueled by warming oceans. 🌾 Agricultural Struggles: Shifts in November weather are disrupting harvests, with droughts in some areas and excessive rain in others. These changes remind us why urgent climate action matters. 🌍💚 Let’s work together to protect the planet for generations to come. #ClimateActionNow #ChangingSeasons #ProtectOurPlanet [Source: Our World In Data] 🌐 www.climb4climate.org  ✉️ info@climb4climate.org 🌿 Follow for info about upcoming events 🌎 Like and share to help fight climate change

❄️ Cold-Weather Cardio Tips! 🏃♂️ As the temperature drops in many places heading toward winter, don’t let the chill stop your fitness journey! Here are some tips to keep your outdoor cardio routine going strong as temps drop: 1. Layer Up. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add insulation, and finish with a windproof jacket to keep warm without overheating. 2. Warm Up Longer. Give your body extra time to warm up—cold muscles need a little more love to prevent injury. 3. Stay Visible. Shorter days mean darker runs, so wear reflective gear or carry a light for safety. 4. Hydrate. It’s easy to skip water in the cold, but hydration is key to your performance. 5. Watch Your Breathing. Cold air can be tough on the lungs—breathe through your nose or use a neck gaiter to warm it up! 🌐 www.climb4climate.org  ✉️ info@climb4climate.org 🌿 Follow for info about upcoming events 🌎 Like and share to help fight climate change #WinterWarrior #OutdoorCardio #Climb4Climate

Does anyone else feel like 6pm is 9pm since we set the clocks back last weekend? As you may know, Daylight Saving Time [DST] was first introduced in the United States in 1918 under the Standard Time Act. It was a measure to save on fuel costs during the First World War by adding an extra hour of sunlight to the day, according to the Library of Congress. Now that our clocks are set back [except you Arizona and Hawaii], let’s take the extra steps to a greener future! Daylight Saving Time isn't just an extra hour of sleep—it’s a reminder to reduce energy use. By maximizing natural light during the day, we can all save energy, cut down on greenhouse gases, and lessen our impact on the planet. This season, join Climb 4 Climate in taking small steps that make a big difference. Unplug devices, switch to energy-efficient lighting, and let the sunlight in. Every action counts in the fight against climate change! 🌞💪💚 [And if you're wondering, yes, we looked it up. It's Saving Time, not Savings Time😉] 🌐 www.climb4climate.org  ✉️ info@climb4climate.org 🌿 Follow for info about upcoming events 🌎 Like and share to help fight climate change #Climb4Climate #DaylightSavings #EnergySavings #GoGreen

Did you know the average American child walks up to 2 miles on Halloween night while trick-or-treating?

🍂 Is it just us, or does fall feel warmer lately? If fall feels off, here's why: on average, autumn temperatures have increased by 2°F over the past 50 years. Warmer autumns affect ecosystems, disrupt leaf colors, and make it harder for some crops to thrive. Let’s work toward solutions that cool things down. 🌎🌡️ [Source: Climate Central] #FallIntoClimateAction #ChangingSeasons #ClimateChangeIsReal #HealthyPlanet 🌐 www.climb4climate.org  ✉️ info@climb4climate.org 🌿 Follow for info about upcoming events 🌎 Like and share to help fight climate change
