Is your #Resolution for 2022 to cut down on #plastic consumption?
@ChristinaCilen7 describes how she went #plasticfree in 2021, and how a culture of quick consumption & disposability made it clear she can't do it alone. (via @grist)

I spoke to @NathanRott for @MorningEdition about the climate resilience funding in the #infrastructure bill. Listen here! https://t.co/bNsIp9gcww

[Laura Brush @LauraBrush1]

@ProfAlexHall and @ErrickDSimmons said it well — the funding is a significant first step to increase community resilience to the impacts of climate change, but continued action is critical.

The current federal approach to climate disasters can’t adequately address dangerous climate impacts. Our brief sets forth an action plan for the federal government to support local resilience and help communities prepare for a climate-changed future.

[C2ES @C2ES_org]

Currently, federal support for building resilience strategies in impacted communities is decentralized & disjointed. The administration, congress, & agencies have a role to play in protecting US communities from the increasing risk of climate impacts. Join on 10/5 to hear more ⬇️

C2ES is excited to be named a member of the Executive Secretariat of the Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets, convened by @IIF. Our first task: developing a program to verify the quality and integrity of traded carbon credits.

How many times have you heard/read in a media report a quote to the effect: “I’ve lived here [X] years and I’ve never seen a [heat/flooding/wildfire/drought] disaster like this?”Countless. #Climate makes disasters worse and the media should tell that story.

No building codes. No flood insurance. Outdated flood maps.  https://t.co/pOoQBlEUmV

July 2021 was officially the hottest month on Earth ever recorded (via @NOAAClimate). Hotter and drier conditions are a major driver of worsening drought conditions across the US. The climate is warming — we must prepare for its impacts. https://t.co/l3TLgxkYaK

A lot of discussion today about reconciliation/BID, but it seems like we're focused on the politics and not the reasons these packages matter. A climate 🧵 1/

Preparing for #climateimpacts before they happen will save valuable dollars down the road. Infrastructure investment should prioritize resilience for longer-term security. Read more from @BobPerch, @TaxPayers, & @SmarterSafer in @MorningConsult here. https://t.co/AzfdsX6PFw

Managed retreat is the preventative federal action America has been waiting for this wildfire season. As states and their residents brace for mass evacuations, federal support for a managed retreat can provide long-term solutions for vulnerable areas. https://t.co/TAcrxaiw1Q
