TAKE ACTION [[link removed]]On September 20, three days before the United Nations’ Climate Summit
[[link removed]] in New York City, young people and adults will strike to demand transformative
action to address the climate crisis. The US Youth Climate Strike has put forth
the following demands:

A Green New Deal:

• Transform our economy to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2030 and phase out
all fossil fuel extraction through a just and equitable transition, creating
millions of good jobs

• End all leasing and permitting for fossil fuel extraction, processing and
infrastructure projects immediately

Respect of Indigenous Land and Sovereignty:

• Honor the treaties protecting Indigenous lands, waters and sovereignty by the
immediate halt of all construction, leasing and permitting for resource
extraction, processing and infrastructure projects affecting or on Indigenous
lands

• Recognize the Rights of Nature [[link removed]] into law to protect our sacred ecosystems and align human law with natural law
to ban resource extraction in defense of our environment and people

Environmental Justice:

• A transition that invests in prosperity for communities on the frontlines of
poverty and pollution

• Welcome those displaced by the cumulative effects of the climate crisis,
economic inequality, violence and lack of opportunity

Protection and Restoration of Biodiversity:

• Protect and restore 50 percent of the world’s lands and oceans including a
halt to all deforestation by 2030

Implementation of Sustainable Agriculture:

• Invest in farmers and regenerative agriculture and an end to subsidies for
industrial agriculture

If you’ll be in New York City during Climate Week, join us at the NY Botanical
Garden at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, September 24 for: “ The Power of Plants and the Secrets of the Soil: Ecosystem Restoration to
Reverse Climate Change [[link removed]] .” Event description:

Wouldn't it be amazing if there were a new technology that could pull carbon
dioxide out of the atmosphere to reverse climate change? It's exists! But, it
isn't new—it's ancient. It's a power only plants have and a secret only the soil
knows: How to use photosynthesis to draw carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and
store it underground. Restoring the world's forests, wetlands and coastal
ecosystems can help bring the carbon cycle back into balance. We can also enlist
crop and pasture lands in this effort through regenerative, organic and
agro-ecological methods that sequester carbon while growing healthy food.

Join us [[link removed]] at the NY Botanical Gardens on September 24 for a conversation with experts
from Regeneration International to learn about the global movement for ecosystem
restoration.
