Dear @IPBES , I have seen this excellent little video of yours many times. Would this be available for use in education? I would love to include it in my talks to pupils if it was possible to obtain it. Thanks!

The biggest change anyone can make is to adopt a fully plant based diet. This also means they are ceasing support for unthinkable cruelty and slaughter. This should be on the front page every day.

Very important in considering priorities and helping politicians understand what needs doing. Also supports @EOWilsonFndtn proposal of setting aside half of the planet, and supports preserving biodiversity as a rational target - if pursued it would mitigate all five

It's also interesting that the first two - the largest drivers - are not so easily given a hash tag. Presumably because they are so all pervasive

@IPBES this generation which lives is a pro-industrial era & use close to more than 80% of industrial products, how can they be responsible enough to minimize their footprints as contributors to pollution. We wear jeans, use plastic products on daily, drive automobiles etc

Dear @IPBES. Why not adopting the proposal of 1. Change in land, sea and AIR use. For the driver of global change? It will be important for aerial species and processes depending on the air. doi.org/10.1111/cobi.13641
