Cucumbers! They're delicious, nutritious, and...covered in plastic? If you've ever wondered what's going on with all the plastic packaging around our fruits & veggies, this blog is for you.

How about “both and”? Forests, wetlands,etc capture carbon and also provide lots of adaptation benefits. We need all of it. So plant, conserve, and stop burning FFs.

Okay, I have to do a thread on this pretty amazing article because it is just seriously chockers with eye-opening stats about 'direct air capture' - ie, sucking up air and trying to remove carbon dioxide from it

For me, it’s the gutting reminder that it took 150+ years to get from the Reformation to the Enlightenment. I’m not sure what counts as the start of whatever historians will call this period, but my god that’s a long way to go.

A beautiful example of how we can fundamentally shift from zero-sum, extractive systems to regenerative relationships that create common value.

I've argued we need to have this convo out loud. Here it is. Does it help?
Does it inspire necessary empathy or just validate existing views? Does it give credence to perspectives based on objectively false premises? Or reveal ethical nuance we can't ignore? Give me your hot takes.
I’ve been in a clown war with my best friend for 20+ years and I’m losing. So this year I took portraits of all the clowns and turned them into Christmas ornaments which I will individually wrap and give as gifts to each member of her family. There are 5 clowns in the collection and right now I have 4 of them (the one she has is the ugliest but still). And this ornament tactic, while brilliant, does not actually get these clowns physically out of my house and into her possession - so I’m still working on it and open to ideas. Also: climate change is real and caused by the burning of fossil fuels. And it’s not an all or nothing thing - every bit matters. Every bit helps. So don’t give up.
First post feels like walking into a party full of strangers and not knowing what kind of party it is. Do I lead with “and what do you do for work?” or show you my boys’ baby pics while lamenting “they are both taller than me now.” Or ask “how you enjoying the end of civilization?” Weird clown pic?
