Environmental justice advocates, including The Climate Reality Project, emphasize the urgent needs of communities of color. Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice's "We Can't Breathe" campaign addresses severe environmental injustice in San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point (BVHP), a low-income community. Residents suffer high rates of asthma and cancer due to radioactive and toxic contamination at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard Superfund site.

BVHP, one of San Francisco's lowest-lying areas, faces extreme vulnerability to rising sea levels, threatening to flood hazardous waste. Despite these risks, luxury homes are being built near, and thousands more planned for, the contaminated Shipyard Superfund Site, amidst allegations of cleanup fraud. A protest will highlight these critical concerns.

Formosa Plastics' proposed complex in Louisiana threatens significant environmental and social harm. It would destroy 61 acres of wetlands and produce enough plastic for an estimated one trillion water bottles annually.

The project is also projected to dramatically increase air and water pollution, disproportionately impacting local communities of color. #StopFormosaPlastics

Nature offers elegant solutions to countless design challenges, from advanced adhesives and biodegradable packaging to incredibly strong materials and the mechanics of flight. The study and application of these natural innovations is known as biomimicry.

Join us to hear from two experts in this field. Richard MacCowan of Biomimicry UK will discuss its role in adopting Industry 4.0 technology, while Veronika Kapsali from University of Arts London will share insights on biomimicry in her textiles work.

Vince Hall challenges conventional hunger solutions, arguing communities already possess enough food. He debunks traditional approaches and their environmental impact, advocating for effective food rescue programs to end hunger and save the planet.

As CEO of Feeding San Diego, the county’s leading hunger relief agency, Hall spearheads innovative food rescue efforts. Under his leadership, the organization provides over 25 million meals annually, addressing hunger for one-eighth of San Diegans, including 127,000 children.

Hall brings extensive nonprofit and public sector management experience, notably as Staff Director for Governor Gray Davis. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Healthy forests are crucial for climate stability, water quality, and supporting 80% of land species. They sustain 1.2 billion people and meet growing timber demands. However, human impacts have destroyed 40% of global forests, with an area the size of a football pitch lost every three seconds. Protecting and restoring them is critically urgent. Learn more about forests here.

The groundbreaking "Our Planet" series, a collaboration between Netflix, Silverback Films, and WWF, explores our planet's natural wonders and the urgent threats they face. Its mission is to inspire global understanding of nature's importance and what we can do to create a future where both nature and people thrive.
