We're just 4 days away from the Weston-super-Half in aid of Project Seagrass. Many of the population aren't in the know when it comes to seagrass, which is why we are fundraising and sharing important facts along the way, please give, if you can, to our fundraiser for Project Seagrass (link in comments). Seagrasses only occupy 0.1% of the seafloor yet are responsible for 18% of organic carbon buried in the oceans. Seagrass meadows are able to store carbon in their sediment, essentially ‘locking’ away large amounts of carbon and acting as a carbon store. Help protect seagrass meadows by supporting our fundraiser for Project Seagrass. #fundraising #seagrass #projectseagrass #climatechange #climateaction #climatecrisis #justgiving #halfmarathon

Let’s make 2025 a special year for the ocean. As Sylvia Earle wisely says, “We should live our lives as if it depends on the oceans, because in reality, it does.” By taking small actions, such as not littering, choosing sustainable seafood, being energy-efficient, or volunteering and donating to organizations like the Odysseo Foundation, we can make a real difference. Together, we can help protect the ocean — the largest and one of the most vital ecosystems on our planet.

Bridging the Gap: Education to Engagement

OK, the previous post about which civil society charities to donate to got likes but not so much actual advice. Let's try a new experiment: Can you advise me about environmental charities? Here is a 🌶 take from https://lnkd.in/g6Tb7xvw which suggests the *best thing we can do for the environment* is donate money to ecological charities. Do you buy this argument? if so, which charities should we donate to?

This evening! Join Our Executive Director Anouk Bertner and World Wildlife Fund Canada President & CEO Megan Leslie for 'Fundraising for the Long Emergency. A candid discussion about how we address long-standing issues, today.' Fundraisers have a significant impact in sectors like the environment, health, housing, food security and education—and yet we know there is more work to be done. Join fellow fundraisers for a candid conversation on how to keep our cause relevant and motivate action. The Eisenhower Matrix teaches us to act on issues that are both important and urgent. When your cause is chronically in need of being addressed - and will not be addressed overnight - how do you keep the attention and interest of your supporters? Climate change has been dubbed "the long emergency" and, like many causes in the charitable sector, has a timeline that extends past our own lives. Discover effective strategies to maintain the significance and urgency of your cause over an extended period. #fundraising #environment #urgentaction #climatecrisis #climateaction #nonprofit #changemakers #sustainability #inspireaction #charity

As we continue our work in the Bahamas and in other areas impacted by crisis- we are looking to restore mangroves. How do they connect to our work increasing food security- well- mangroves are amazing:) without them so many species of marine life struggle to find safe spawning habitats. (Let alone the fact that they are carbon sequestering powerhouses and help build land mass). In coastal communities where fishing is one of the main industries and source of food- mangroves play a vital role. #bahamas #mangrove #sustainability #fishing #foodsecurity #blueatlas
