If Trump's "big, beautiful" reconciliation bill goes through, 13.7 million people will lose their health insurance & even more will become underinsured.

Make no mistake, thousands of low-income & working class Americans will die unnecessarily if it passes. We must not allow it.

Never underestimate the transformative power of new experiences.

Forests are more than just wood and are important for the water balance. The groundwater beneath a forest is clean, oxygen-rich and excellent for producing drinking water. That is why forests are particularly often also water protection areas. 💚☘️🌿🌱🌳🌲🍀💚

One of the most impressive trees I’ve ever hugged! Budapest, Hungary. #trees #travel

Urban trees have got it tough. Here's a row of 8 tulip trees (tulip poplar in eastern North America) planted on the same day on a low-use path. 3 are doing well, 3 are dead or gone, 1 is just barely hanging on, and 1 was snapped in half, but recovering well. From West to East, here's the first 4...

Pro tip. Most times the oldest trees in a city are in cemeteries because those were the 1st places to be preserved. #trees

An old tree is like a work of art. Its nuances amaze you. If you also know something about arboriculture, the experience is even better.

Good example of how Bristol, VT is planting new trees where ash trees will be removed because of EAB. We don’t want to preemptively remove them and we don’t want to wait to plant. #trees

Nature is always an inspiring companion.

What if you're not broken You're just tired? Tired of being strong, tired of holding everything together Tired of pretending you're ok.

Some doors don't have hinges They have pages

What if the discomfort you feel is just you outgrowing the old you

You're not failing You're just in the middle Change and growth Looks like a mess before it makes sense

In case you need these today, something a little different on the #mentalhealth front.

Whatever happens –

Stay alive, learn, study, think, read, build, invent, create, speak, write, dream, design.
Stay alive, stay alive inside you, stay alive also outside, fill yourself with colors of the world, fill yourself with peace, fill yourself with hope.
Stay alive with joy.

This is the scary stuff. We can’t impede science because of personal beliefs.

Nice! Just got back from a week there with a highlight of racing Old Pueblo!

Árboles para Ciudades | Ciudades Verdes ¿Qué especies podemos plantar como árboles urbanos? Acá te ofrecemos información de cientos de árboles que puedes plantar en ciudades.

Desde hace unos años, hemos estado sistematizando miles de datos para desarrollar una herramienta pública que permita escoger "el árbol correcto para el lugar correcto".

Un pequeño aporte, pero significativo para las comunidades que quieran disfrutar de los beneficios de nos entregan los árboles 🙂

Because agencies like FEMA won’t pay for relocation except in extreme circumstances.

I see local communities investing in climate resilience regardless of what is happening at Fed level. They can’t wait for consensus or assistance, they are being impacted now. Maybe insurance companies will elect to operate in these places? We have to support our local communities.

I love it when cities go to extra efforts to save and protect trees. This is from downtown Budapest. #tree
