Extractive industries not only destroy our Mother Earth but also bring violence against Indigenous women at an alarming rate. Indigenous women have murder rates 10 times the national average, yet cases of missing and murdered women are mostly ignored.

Did you know - It takes about 173 gallons of water to produce one pound of conventional cotton. By using recycled cotton, Patagonia saves water and reduce CO2 emissions by 80% compared to conventional cotton and limits their impact on land and water. Honored to have photographed Patagonia’s sustainability and share a page with @sparks_kyle and @_timdavis_ Know how your clothes are made! #patagonia #fairtradeisbetter #fairtrade #recycle #sustaibableclothing #bluesignapproved #ethicalclothing (at Patagonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2CchtCBRtS/?igshid=1e46ogv53818s

Did you drink coffee this morning or eat an apple today? THANK A BEE. About one in every three bites of food is made possible by bees and other pollinators! But the world’s honeybees are in steep decline – 10 million hives have disappeared in the past three years. While scientists aren’t clear on exactly what factors are behind bees’ decline, climate change is making life harder for bees from habitat loss, shifting temperatures, to disease. Thank your local beekeepers today on #nationalhoneybeeday . Thank you Nicole of Morris Honey Company in Ojai, I love your honey! And plant a pollinator-friendly garden in your backyard or in cities, porch and window planters can provide important food sources for bees. #honeybee #honey #beekeeping #ojai #bees #climatechange (at Ojai, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1UJ9j8hyJq/?igshid=55oi4jpga1d1

King Salmon (łuk chao) smokes in a cache in Gwichyaa Zhee (Fort Yukon), Alaska. Often referred to as Yukon gold, the Gwich’in spend the month of July fishing for King Salmon, with fish wheels or nets, on the Yukon River. For the Gwich’in the only adequate food is food that comes from the land—fish, caribou, moose, and berries, making up 80% of their diet. #gwichin #salmon #yukonriver #fortyukon #cache #foodsecurity (at Fort Yukon, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0qux8IhcJz/?igshid=isacj7f4zctt

“They say the secret of success is being at the right place at the right time, but since you never know when the right time is going to be, I figure the trick is to find the right place and just hang around.” -Bill Waterson I’ll be here! #glaciernationalpark #montana #glacier #travel (at East Glacier Park, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/By1beHGh_O4/?igshid=16senjwcy5fzu
