I've desperately wanted to write for a conservation journal for years. Started listening to @Ologies, heard about this @conservify project, summoned my courage and pitched it this summer. Thank you @alieward for telling me to text my crush. They said yes!!
#Glaciers in the #NorthernRockies are #dying fast. But with help from a few seismic sensors, 16 speakers, and a pair of dedicated artists, one of them isn’t going quietly. earthisland.org/journal/index.…

.@TheJusticeDept is opening an environmental justice investigation. Black residents in Lowndes County, AL, live with unsafe sewage conditions, resulting in a resurgence of hookworm. The county lied about it; now the government has stepped in. ejus.tc/3C92lP5
This part always gets me. Coal. Cattle. Oil. And fish, apparently. “Most locations have been trawled so many times, there is little left worth catching, says Sala. ‘Without government subsidies, no one would be making a penny.’” time.com/5947430/bottom…
me, explaining my productivity schedule to my editors
A Big Oil exec told me I had a "misconception" about a special tax break polluters get that other businesses don't. So, after explaining the deduction to him, I offered to write it out of the tax code if that what he wants. Just let me know!

“Big Oil companies will have to answer for what they did. We hope that our case will shine a light on the causes of climate change and how Big Oil concealed that information just to make an extra buck.” Federal ruling favors Maui County khon2.com/local-news/fed…
From my brilliant thesis advisor! “She didn’t know that I was sad about other movements I couldn’t control, fearful that in spite of my care, in spite of my rituals of cleaning, the environment that my cherished ones lived and moved in could bring them harm.”

One in five won't make it out alive ... b/c of air pollution from burning fossil fuels. New @Harvard study chronicles ravages of this silent killer. Climate change isn't just about fuzzy polar bears, it's about your mom. And your grandpa. Your kids. You. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Tribal leaders say that restoring a national monument should be only the beginning of Biden’s commitment to protect more public lands and that tribal nations should be leading the charge. #BearsEars hcne.ws/3o8EurY
Biden set to restore Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante to pre-Trump size — (Lets not call it “Pre- Trump size - Let’s say to the original sizes of the 2016 and 1996 proclamations). Yes‼️ nationalgeographic.com/environment/20…
Some Truly Excellent Birds of 2020 vol. 1: January to July
A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior. Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce. I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land. I am honored and ready to serve.
A slew of logging bills are currently making their way through Congress under the guise of improving fire safety or conserving public lands. In reality, they would worsen wildfires as well as climate change. @johnmuirproject earthisland.org/journal/index.…
Wherein Rebecca Solnit lights a match and torches the "hopelessly naïve version of centrism, of the idea that if we’re nicer to the other side there will be no other side, just one big happy family." Send this piece to every political reporter you know. lithub.com/rebecca-solnit…
I analyzed 30 news articles about Trump and Biden's climate policy exchange at the last debate. All 30 discussed how Biden's climate policy could harm the oil industry. Only five discussed how Trump's climate policy (nothing) could harm all of us. heated.world/p/climate-news…
