Glad to see Department of Energy @SecGranholm out there naming climate change as the threat that it is, & recognizing the US’s inordinate responsibility to act. @DOE is doing so much (billions $ in clean E, appliance stds) and more yet to do (reject LNG, “advanced fossil”). LFG!
This #WomensHistoryMonth I'm pleased to add another book to my Gender & Environment bookshop by a wonderful friend @DoctorGladys! On shelves next week!! An inspiring memoir, for fans of
@JaneGoodallInst, wildlife & women's stories. https://t.co/pDbzdg44B2
Its Women's History Month! Love seeing the women artists, women soccer players and women activists showcased in my little world this week, and can feel the ripples near and far.
On the heels of #BannedBooksWeek, I was reminded the power of writing to make huge long-lasting change. Rachel Carson's words still lead us 60 years later.
Six decades since Carson’s publication, threats to the “delicate balance of nature” have grown larger and more urgent, and so has the kind of backlash faced by Carson and her supporters. https://t.co/PsI0LpJq4F
Far too often when it comes to chemical safety, women are given the undue and impossible burden of preventing toxic chemical exposure for their families.
“Carson’s work and life teach three important lessons: the value and benefits of celebrating nature, the galvanizing power of prose, and that systemic change takes time.” https://t.co/PsI0LpJq4F
'Equity is not charity alone.' Thank you Assistant Secretary Loyce Pace @HHS_ASGA for your recognition of the importance of local & regional manufacturing, partnerships, and the need to #PushForEquity in building our health systems. #UNGA
COVID taught us that we cannot depend on the kindness of others to deliver the right to health for people. We have to build capacity in order to ensure justice, equity & human rights in response to global health threats.#VaccinEquity#UNGA#Afrigen @PeoplesVaccine @Public_Citizen
