Terramedic.org is just a stealth prototype right now, but with help from other Climatebase Fellows around the world, I hope to grow it into a searchable global database of climate orgs needing donations and/or volunteers.

Postcards to turn out environmental voters for the Virginia election

200 EVP postcards headed to VA voters! Normally I'd take time to artfully arrange them, but I’m busy with the @climatebase.bsky.social Fellowship. My capstone project Terramedic.org aims to support climate orgs like @environmentalvoter.bsky.social, @cclusa.org, and @theclimatevote.bsky.social. πŸ’° πŸ’ͺ 🌍

Volunteering for the Environmental Voter Project is a great way to take climate action. Today I'm mailing postcards to activate environmental voters for NYC's mayoral primary on June 24. Next up... Virginia! @environmentalvoter.bsky.social

The problem is, "Green Card" sounds too environmentally friendly.

Channeling my angst by writing postcards. Mailing these tomorrow to help turn out voters for the April 1 election in Wisconsin. You too can become a political activist from the comfort of your couch! Check out Postcards to Swing States (while we still have a USPS!) @postcards2win.bsky.social

Global temperatures have increased by around 1.3C over the past 85 years, with most of this in the past few decades. I've put together a new visualization of daily global temperatures (inspired by Ed Hawkins climate spiral) that shows this dramatic increase: www.theclimatebrink....

80% of major U.S. power outages (1K+) from 2000–2023 were caused by extreme weather. These disruptions affect water, food & healthcare access.

@noaa.gov's helpful data shows how climate change impacts our power grid and what you can do to prepare

Had a proud father moment last week; our dentist told my 7 year old how pretty she was and asked if she wanted to be a model or actress when she grew up.

She responded that she wanted to become an engineer and invent the first flying car. 😁

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
