Channeling my election angst into turning out the vote for @YadiraCaraveo in CD 8, one of the most competitive US House races in the country. When we fight (& GOTV), we win!
Congrats to the amazing Oak Thorne & @ThorneNature Experience for 70 impactful years connecting kids to nature and growing the next generation of earth stewards! And thanks to Keith Desrosiers for 15 transformational years as Executive Director!
Be sure to say hey if you're at ClimateCon Boulder today, where speakers including Eco-Cycle's Executive Director Zan Jones discussed how Zero Waste policies are an important tool in addressing climate change & creating more circular food and organic waste systems.
The CO State Senate has approved House amendments to SB24-150 to end state funding for harmful plastics-to-fuel projects, discouraging them from coming to our state! The final step is for Gov. Polis to sign the bill into law. Thank you to the bill sponsors & coalition of helpers!
In my view, the key CPAC story isn’t that right-wing influencer Jack Posebiec said, “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely.”
The story is how many Republican lawmakers are absolutely silent about it.
May I suggest the media ask every Congressional member who speaks at CPAC, and every Republican presidential candidate for that matter, the following three questions:
1) Do you reject Jack Posebiec’s comments?
2) Do you support democracy?
3) Do you respect the separation of church and state?
And don't stop asking until you get answers.
I believe journalists have a duty to uncover just how deep the threat to American democracy runs.
It’s the answers that should frighten us. Never the questions.

Zero Waste isn’t just about conserving & reusing the Earth’s finite resources—it impacts air & water quality, energy use, wildlife habitat, economic growth, social justice & climate change! This #GivingTuesday, help us move CO closer to Zero Waste at https://t.co/mtWbtD2zDl!

On the 2nd day of #ColoradoRecyclesWeek, Eco-Cycle and @copirg just dropped our 7th annual State of Recycling and Composting in Colorado Report that examines the progress made by the state & Colorado communities in recycling, composting, reducing, reusing: https://t.co/IjCj97sHXI
CO Recycles Week kicks off today, boosting statewide efforts for expanded recycling & Zero Waste programs that reduce carbon emissions, create green jobs & enhance the planet's health! We still have a lot of work to do—but systemic change is coming!
Just wrapped the release of @copirg@ecocycle 7th annual state of #Recycling & #Composting report. While our recycle rate remains stubbornly low (16%) recent state/local action should vault us to be a leader in #Zerowaste in the next 5 years. https://t.co/ODrGJnoZNI

So glad to participate in the #AREDay conference in #Boulder to talk #ClimateChange solutions, including the important role that waste reduction, reuse, recycling & composting play in reducing GHG emissions. #EcoCycle#ZeroWaste
