Seismic airgun testing, used for offshore oil and gas, poses a severe threat to the ocean's soundscape. These powerful blasts injure marine life, endanger regional fisheries, and jeopardize the livelihoods of those dependent on the ocean.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is currently preparing an environmental impact statement (EIS) on expanding seismic testing in the Mid and South Atlantic. BOEM must incorporate the latest science to fully assess these risks. Help raise awareness about this destructive practice. For more information, visit: http://oceana.org/seismic.

Hundreds of farmworkers and their supporters are in New York City for Wendy's shareholder meeting, demanding improved working conditions for tomato pickers. Organized by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), the Fair Food campaign, featuring organizer Gerardo Reyes-Chavez, advocates for better wages and workers' rights.

This initiative follows a White House-recognized Social Responsibility Program, which McDonald's, Subway, Burger King, and Taco Bell have already joined. These companies pay an extra penny per pound of tomatoes to raise wages and commit to sourcing from farms that respect workers' rights.

On the 40th anniversary of the 'Blue Marble' photograph, Planetary Collective presents a short film. It documents astronauts' life-changing stories of seeing Earth from space—a perspective-altering experience known as the Overview Effect.

First described by Frank White in 1987, the Overview Effect transforms an astronaut's view of the planet and humanity's place. It commonly evokes awe for Earth, a profound understanding of life's interconnection, and a renewed sense of environmental responsibility.

2016 marked the hottest year on record, continuing a decades-long warming trend. Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analyzed global measurements, confirming Earth’s average surface temperature has risen approximately 2.0°F (1.1°C) since the late 19th century.

This significant temperature increase is largely attributed to human emissions into the atmosphere.

Global wildfires are intensifying due to climate and land-use changes, with a projected 30% increase by 2050. Mitigating this growing risk is crucial for protecting human health and ecosystems.

Robots are increasingly vital for first responders, detecting, monitoring, and extinguishing blazes in hazardous environments too dangerous for human entry. An AI for Good webinar, streamed on January 18, 2023, showcased the next generation of autonomous firefighting robots, designed to work alongside emergency workers, enhancing safety and effectiveness on the front line.
