The Full Body Elixir ~ Yoga with Calley O'Neill

WORLD leaders are waking up to the serious nature of climate change and biodiversity loss.  The richest nations in the world, the G 7 (UK, US, Japan, France, Italy, Germany, and Canada) have agreed to stop funding all overseas development of fossil fuels by the END OF THIS YEAR!  Bravo Bravo!

In a world first, Brazil’s Supreme Court has declared the Paris Climate Agreement a Human Rights Treaty superseding all national laws.  Bolisinaro and Brazil are doing very poorly regarding combatting climate change and halting the destruction of the Amazon Forest and other natural ecosystems.  Now, any law that is not in accord with the Paris Agreement is non-valid.  All laws must uphold the people’s right to work back towards a healthy climate.  This will start the ball rolling toward a global commitment to climate and biodiversity protection as a human right.  Bravo to Brazil’s Supreme Court.

In other news, Finland just became the first country to enact a legally binding carbon negativity act.  Bravo Finland! 

GREAT NEWS IN A NUTSHELL!!  HOORAY!  Bravo to the US Senate!!  In a tie-breaking vote by VP Kamala Harris, the Senate passed a  $480 million sweeping legislative act to ameliorate climate change and reduce emissions (read as toxic air pollution) by 40% by the end of the decade.  This will improve the health of people who live near toxic energy sites, and all of us who breathe and live.  It alerts all of us and the world to actively take care of our air, water and soil.  Please read this article so you can tell a great story tonight at dinner and spread widely!  

We have a long way beyond this to go yet this is the best bill passed by the US since the Clean Air Act.in 1963.
