Struck by the tragedy of the Flint water crises, at 10 years old Gitanjali Raoshe invented a new, patented test for detecting lead in drinking water. Now 15, she's one of America's top young scientists. Thanks Gitanjali - we need you. https://t.co/tLVlBFE9x7
Don't you hate it when technology fails you?
Our event with @FullEcology was sadly lost to the technology gremlins, but they have graciously agreed to come back and speak with us again about their new book! Find full details here: https://t.co/qlqZODsLYn
A big success in ocean restoration: 75 million native seeds planted over 20 years in Virginia ocean waters, has led to 9,000 acres of eelgrass growing in once-barren bays. Marine biodiversity is way up, and lots more carbon is being stored.
Deforestation is a big problem - a leading cause of lost biodiversity, as well as carbon storage. Yet at the same time, in the past 20 years good people around the globe have planted more than 49 million acres of trees - covering an area about the size of France.

Top ten hottest years on the planet: 2016, 2020, 2019, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2014, 2010, 2013 and 2005. Let's pull together - as humans are naturally wired to do - and help heal this good Earth.
New research: Climate warming could level off just ten or twenty years after we stop our net greenhouse emissions. Check out "Full Ecology: Repairing Our Relationship with the Natural World," to get started.
Farmers in Washington grow over 2 million acres of wheat. The course straw left over after harvest, which often goes to waste, is now being turned into paper. Using 90% less water than paper from trees. And leaving trees - a key to carbon storage - in the ground.
Greater Seattle's "Trailhead Direct" mass transit line is running again, carrying urban dwellers to some of the most beautiful trails in the Northwest. Right now a "Transit to Trails Act" has been introduced in Congress, which could help make this brilliant idea work elsewhere.
In "Full Ecology," we talk often about the things that are working - between us, and all around us. Not to lull us into complacency. But instead, to connect us to what brilliant resilience really looks like.
Conservation science is using dogs to find everything from invasive plants and insects, to endangered animals. Be it bobcats or rare tree snakes, invasive Scotch boom or invading lanternflies, dogs' noses are far more accurate than the best scientific equipment.
After installing everything from planters to beehives, flower walls to rooftop gardens, the densely populated west end of London is seeing astonishing gains in biodiversity. Big city rewildiing at its best.
