Jessica Hodge+FollowBirds Are Literally Crunching From PlasticWild, but also heartbreaking: scientists found birds on Lord Howe Island making actual crunching sounds—because their bodies are packed with plastic trash. One bird had 778 pieces inside! That’s up to 20% of their body weight, including bottle caps and even soy sauce fish bottles. You can feel the plastic from the outside. If this is happening on a remote island, imagine what’s going on everywhere else. Plastic pollution is way more intense than we thought. #PlasticPollution #WildlifeCrisis #EcoAlert #SaveOurPlanet #Science110Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowAntarctica’s ‘Blue Ice’ Glacier in TroubleDid you see this? Scientists are sounding the alarm about Antarctica’s Union Glacier—apparently, it’s melting way faster than expected, and we might be hitting a point of no return. Rising temps and pollution are making the ice absorb more heat, speeding up the meltdown. If global temps go up just a bit more, huge parts of the ice sheet could be gone for good. This isn’t just about penguins—melting glaciers mean rising seas and less freshwater for millions. Wild, right? #ClimateCrisis #GlacierMelt #Antarctica #SaveOurPlanet #ScienceMatters #Science10Share
