Gates C & D at #SFO were evacuated, updates being disseminated via a game of telephone. Apparently IT w the intercom password left the building.
Still awaiting updates regarding the sudden closure of Terminal 2D at @flySFO to investigate a suspicious package.
This chaos creates its own safety and security issues... more updates please! Maybe make an announcement? #SFO #traveltips – at San Francisco, CA
Still awaiting updates after Terminal 2D at @flySFO was abruptly closed to investigate a suspicious package.
The chaos and crowds create their own safety issue. How about making an announcement, folks?
#SFO #TravelTips – at San Francisco, CA
So isn't there a PA system here at @flySFO?! Are we really relying on one person shouting over the crowd?
"Had this been an actual emergency..." ... y'all would've really been screwed!

I'm honored to represent @COARE at the @UN #UNWaterConference because the #EnvironmentalJustice impacts of #PlasticPollution affect EVERY #SDG, including #SDG6 and #SDG14.

#UN SG @AntonioGuterres kicks off the #UNWaterConference Conference on @WorldWaterDay! We are at the @UN to support the critical importance of #EnvironmentalJustice, #CleanWater, and a #HealthyOcean, and to further the #PlasticsTreaty because #PlasticPollution affects them all.
Thank you @KQEDForum for having me on yesterday's show to represent @COARE and talk about the @UN #HighSeasTreaty and #PlasticPollution

🎙️ ON AIR:
We're speaking w/ @4kgjerde, @McCauley_Lab and Christopher Chin about a new UN treaty to protect the high seas and the impact this treaty will have on the California coast.

Finally celebrating the surreal achievement of a new global #HighSeasTreaty. It's been a long and intense journey and such an incredible honor to be part of this process and to work alongside other members of the #HighSeasCoalition.
#OceanDiplomat #OceanDiplomacy #SDG14
This weekend @UN agreed to a new #HighSeasTreaty to begin protecting the 2/3 of #OurOcean that is the #HighSeas. Less than 1.2% is currently protected, and COARE is proud to have been part of this process finally paving the way for #30x30!

I'm honored to don my #OceanDiplomat hat and represent @COARE in Panamá to help convince world leaders that it is time to put concrete action behind commitments, and to put people and planet before profit.

Excited to be present for the kickoff of #UNOC2022 to #SaveOurOcean!
I took the floor at the 1st #UNOceanConference 5+ yrs ago where @coare first publicly called for international collaboration to address #PlasticPollution and demanded global reduction in production of plastic. – at Lisbon, Portugal

You know that thing I've been working on for nearly 6 years? Well, we're now one GIANT step closer to a #PlasticsTreaty!
There's more work ahead, and it won't be easy, but this is now a definite and long- awaited start!
BREAKING NEWS: "It is so decided."
Moments ago, the @UN Environment Assembly #UNEA5 made history by adopting a resolution to begin negotiating a new global #PlasticsTreaty. What a huge win after so many years of work!
@UNEP
#BreakFreeFromPlastic
Soooo exciting to see the effect our work is having. We expect amazing things out of this #UNEA5. It's been so rewarding for @COARE to work with great partners like @GAIAnoburn, @ciel_tweets, @EIA_News, @OceanCare and @brkfreeplastic, to aim for a #PlasticsTreaty
We're so thrilled by today's announcement from the U.S. @StateDept @SciDiplomacyUSA that they are finally committed to working towards a #PlasticsTreaty to fight #PlasticPollution at the next @UNEP #UNEA5! See you there, @MonicaMedinaDC and @SecBlinken whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…
Where does all that #PlasticPollution go? I'm looking forward to moderating a great panel on #WasteColonialism tomorrow!
#EnvironmentalJustice
Join us tomorrow (Tuesday, 29 June) for a webinar on waste colonialism, and the global campaign to end this practice from #breakfreefromplastic members in Kenya & the United States! Register now to learn how we can

It's so exciting to see this executive order taking #ClimateAction and standing for #EnviromentalJustice!

Thank you, @JoeBiden for enacting today's bold Executive Order to begin tackling the #ClimateCrisis and to #Protect30x30!

I am so proud to have taken part in the highly collaborative team that put together this Presidential Plastic Action plan to show @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris how to effectively tackle #PlasticPollution by becoming a #PlasticFreePresident.

Today @Janefonda @Kebmomusic @AdrianGrenier and @coare advisor @SylviaEarle joined 550+ groups calling on @JoeBiden to be a #PlasticFreePresident and lead our country on the pathway to a plastic free future 🚨

So, the outgoing EPA chief wants a #boondoggle vacation at taxpayer expense? An even bigger slap in the face is that he's claiming this in the name of #PlasticPollution.
