Driving through central PA on my way back home for a wedding I saw a pro-CO2 billboard that read "Carbon Dioxide is essential for life."

So if anyone is wondering what's happening in the heartland...

Interesting work!

A lot of us have spent the past year rediscovering the beauty of nature. I couldn’t be more happy to see this plan, which will bring Baltimore’s green space in greater reach for even more people, move closer to reality. https://t.co/HLBE952zlf
