If you haven't subscribed to my #climatechange newsletter, Planet Days, now's as good a time as any. This morning, I outlined what to expect from the newsletter going forward (hint: there will be more dunking on recycling). https://t.co/oEcLuzIkQS

Clean energy is driving energy security, competitiveness and efficiency across business and nations​. It’s also displacing fossil fuels.

That’s according to a new analysis by @WMBtweets @ember_energy @etc_energy @e3g #ClimateWeekNYC #FossilToClean https://t.co/1dKD9e35WO

I've made it a tradition to sweat through increasingly brutal heat at @Nationals Park every July 4... 🫠

New data from @climatecentral finds that baseball season is heating up, affecting athletes, fans, and even home runs. https://t.co/LENOXTwwgm #climatematters

Food waste is a huge driver of climate change. But too often, the responsibility of the problem falls on the shoulders of individuals.

This #EarthDay, I'm combining two of my interests: baseball ⚾ & climate change 🌎

For my climate newsletter, I ranked all 30 @MLB ballparks to determine the "greenest."

Did your team make the top 10? https://t.co/zIDRxd91RT

Thank you to all who attended my Metro bar crawl this weekend — we had approximately 100 attendees join us throughout the day!

It was so great to see so many public transit lovers in one place 🚇🍻

[Brandon Pytel @BrandonPytel]

Another successful Metro crawl in action. Next stop: Federal Triangle SW. What’s the chance @wmataGM joins us for a drink? 👀🍻

It was great to welcome local leaders from Western North Carolina to D.C. this week.

The group, supported by @floodcoalition, was here to highlight the ongoing need for recovery and resilience resources after Hurricane Helene.

There's a ton of misinformation about New York City's new #congestionpricing plan — from both sides of the aisle.

But congestion pricing works: It not only reduces traffic, it leads to cleaner air, safer streets, and better public transit. My newsletter: https://t.co/fbgebN1YlB

Great @profsandpints talk by @GeorgeMasonU Prof Zachary Schrag about the history of the @wmata Metro. He even signed my book!

[Brandon Pytel @BrandonPytel]

I'm proud to work for @floodcoalition, which is supporting communities in Western North Carolina as they recover from the impacts of Hurricane Helene.

[American Flood Coalition @floodcoalition]

Local leaders from across Western North Carolina recently joined together to launch the WNC Recovery and Resilience Partnership.

We're proud to support this regional effort focused on streamlining recovery in the wake of Hurricane Helene and building resilience for the future.
