Breaking: Climate change is literally speeding up Earth's rotation

And it's changing the way we tell time. New Report Shows Climate Change Is Changing the Very Fabric of Time. Developed Nations Must Step Up to Climate Promises!      Sign Now      Arfin,   According to a shocking new study, climate change's effects have accelerated beyond floods, fires, and heatwaves — the changing climate is now altering time itself. It sounds like a science fiction novel, but it's very real, and very grim. The melting of the polar ice caps is sending water in large quantities toward the equator — and this shift in mass is literally making Earth spin faster, changing the way we tell time. The computers that most parts of our society increasingly rely on — from hospital systems to GPS to financial markets — will need to be perfectly synced up in order to avoid disaster. And if gone unchecked, what's to say these shifts in time won't get more intense, risking further complications to our societal systems? This is yet another sign that we need to be taking climate change far more seriously. As a part of the 2015 Paris Agreement, developed nations promised $100 million to poorer countries so they could shift energy infrastructure away from fossil fuels and prepared for extreme weather events. But not only have countries like the US and those in Europe failed to fulfill this financial promise — climate experts now say that far more money is needed to properly address climate change in developing countries.   We must urge the US and countries in the EU to meet and exceed their financial commitments to developing countries so that the entire globe can avoid climate disaster — sign the petition to add your name!

These two sweet dogs were found starved and abused

We must take a stand. Justice for Beans and Pompeii, the Two Sweep Pups Who Were Found Starved and Abused      Sign Now      Arfin,   In the heart of Lancaster, PA, a heartbreaking story unfolded that has shaken the community to its core. Two precious dogs, a brave little pitbull mix named Beans, and a gentle miniature poodle named Pompei, were discovered starving and living in horrifying, abusive conditions. It's time to say enough is enough. Those responsible for such heinous acts must not be allowed to harm another animal again.   Sign the petition to demand the perpetrators receive a lifetime animal ownership ban to ensure no animal is ever harmed by them again!   Beans, with his loving eyes that still held hope despite his pain, was found so thin that every bone in his little body was visible. He had been starving, thirsty, and battling illness alone. Pompeii, with a spirit so gentle yet broken, was discovered with injuries that spoke of her silent cries for help her tiny leg was fractured, and she bore marks of cruelty on her face that no words can describe. These stories are not just about two dogs; they are a chilling reminder of the darkness that exists and the silent suffering endured by too many animals in homes and puppy mills across the country. Sign the petition to call for the immediate and permanent ban on animal ownership for the people who abused and neglected these innocent animals! Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. We cannot allow this to continue. Demand action!      Sign Now

Unsolicited nudes are sexual harassment, but victims often have no justice

The UK took a stand this year, and the US should too. A Man Was Just Convicted of Sending Unwanted Nudes, Which Are Harmful, Traumatizing, and Illegal in the UK. "Cyberflashing" Should Be a Crime in the US Too.      Sign Now      Arfin,   If you have ever been a victim of receiving unwanted explicit photos, you know it is incredibly distressing.   In fact, research tells us that it can take a real toll on one's mental health. Unsolicited or coerced nudes are "associated with higher depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, and lower self-esteem." This year, the UK stood up for victims of "cyberflashing" (the act of sending unsolicited explicit photos) and made it a crime under the Online Safety Act. And at the time of this writing in March 2024, the first conviction has been handed down: a man who sent photos of his genitalia to a woman and a 15-year-old girl via WhatsApp is going to jail for 66 months. The perpetrator pleaded guilty to "two counts of sending a photograph or film of genitals to cause alarm, distress or humiliation."   In the US, there have been some attempts from individual states to combat "cyberflashing" but none have gone as far as the UK Online Safety Act. The US desperately needs a stronger federal law to protect victims of sexual harrasment like this. Please join us as we call on US lawmakers in Congress to make sending unsolicited explicit photos and videos a crime. Sign the petition to make "cyberflashing" illegal in the United States! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. A man in the UK will be jailed after sending unwanted nudes to a woman and a 15 year-old-girl.

Super tusker elephants are being shot for sport

There may be as few as 50 left. Africa's "Super Tuskers" Are Getting Shot By Trophy Hunters      Sign Now      Arfin,   Africa's "super tuskers," are elephants with tusks weighing over 100 pounds. Sadly, these amazing creatures are in grave danger. Their large tusks, a symbol of their grandeur, have made them targets, leading to their decline. Recently, another super tusker in Tanzania was reportedly shot and killed by a trophy hunter. The devastating killing, which allegedly involved a prominent American trophy hunter from Texas, highlights the growing threat to these majestic animals.   Sign the petition to demand an immediate reinstatement and enforcement of the moratorium on trophy hunting of elephants between Kenya and Tanzania, respecting the nearly 30-year agreement.   This is reportedly the third "super tusker" gunned down near the Tanzanian-Kenyan border in the last six months. These elephants are crucial for their communities, contributing to genetic diversity and the stability of elephant societies. With possibly as few as 50 left, their loss impacts not just their populations but the entire ecosystem. Sign the petition to demand the moratorium on trophy hunting of elephants between Kenya and Tanzania is reinforced to protect these magnificent animals! Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. These elephants are crucial to their communities. Demand justice!      Sign Now

This country is standing up to polluting, wasteful fast fashion brands

This gives our planet a fighting chance. Fast Fashion Companies Are Killing Our Planet. France Could Become the First Country to Pass Laws Curbing the Industry's Excess.      Sign Now      Arfin,   Fast fashion's cheap, unethical production practices not only create massive amounts of emissions — they're also overflowing landfills with rotting clothes that were maybe worn once, if at all. It's an environmental nightmare.   The industry's business model encourages overconsumption and inevitably leads to higher volumes of discarded clothing heading to landfills. But it also makes competition from smaller, sustainable brands simply impossible. The last thing we need is for fast fashion brands, that have horrific emissions rates and despicable working conditions, to have a total monopoly on the fashion industry. Luckily, France is setting an incredible precedent for how to deal with this growing issue. The country's lower house of parliament has voted to limit fast fashion's damage by banning advertising on extremely cheap textiles, and applying an environmental charge on low-cost items that will go to subsidies for more environmentally sustainable companies.   This is huge, for people and planet alike. Sign the petition supporting France's move to stand up to fast fashion, and maybe the rest of the world will follow suit! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. France is standing up to fast fashion. This is a huge win for the environment. Sign to support.      Sign Now
