Powder To The People The Cold Hard Truth About Winter

How often do people complain about the cold? Turns out, we’ll be complaining a lot more once it’s gone.

In times like these we can sit in fear, or we can step into action.

So many of the people, businesses, and organizations we highlight choose to act.

We hope to bring you more clarity into how the world is becoming more sustainable even in these uncertain times.

Sea turtle nesting records are a bright spot: Florida logged a record year for leatherback nests.

The pattern holdsβ€”protect habitat, reduce threats, keep showing up.

What’s one coastal (or river) place you’d defend if you had to?

Black-footed ferrets went from β€œextinct in the wild” to β€œendangered.”

That is what persistence looks like in real animals, real places.

What’s your favorite β€œwe didn’t give up” comeback story?

Ohio’s bald eagles: a comeback you can count.

Hundreds of nests documentedβ€”proof that protection + policy can reverse collapse.

Conservation works when we stick with it.

Environmental justice with a clipboard: Boulder residents are pushing for independent air monitoring as coal ash cleanup moves forward.

When health is on the line, transparency is non-negotiable.

It's important for communities to be able to adapt to our rapidly changing environment. The entire country needs better infrastructure to make that happen, including decarbonizing our energy grids and our economies at scale.

This is a great example of how conservation impacts people every day. Being able to walk through nature like that and take a moment of peace and enjoy the natural world is a right that everyone should have access to.

Preserving farmland is climate action (and food security).

Washington County, MD protected more working landβ€”keeping soils intact, reducing sprawl pressure, supporting local food. Sustainability you can point to on a map.

Small grants. Big momentum. Six groups in Michigan’s Muskegon River watershed just got funding for restoration, stabilization, hazardous waste disposal, and wetland work.
The conservation engine is local and steady.

A dam comes down; a creek comes back. Michigan is removing a deteriorating damβ€”reconnecting miles of cold-water habitat for trout and native species.

Restoration can be that simple: remove the barrier, restore the flow. #Rivers #Restoration #Michigan
