@stephaniesleeps So incredibly sorry, Stephanie. My heart is with all three of you. ♥️

Starting out above summer max levels probably isn't a great sign for the #YaharaWatershed after so much flooding last summer. More rain on the way next week. https://t.co/WJaoeT8F95

New GLBRC publication shows the amount of carbon that stays in agricultural fields & out of the air depends on the quantity & quality of plant litter that falls into the soil - and the quality of the soil itself: https://t.co/exVdQHmVex

From contaminated wells to lead services lines, we’ve got to do more to improve Wisconsin’s water infrastructure. I’m declaring 2019 as the Year of Clean Drinking Water. #WISOTS

Positive, real stories and "radical listening" (👏) can help guide us into a Good Anthropocene. Important and inspiring talk.

[ElenaBennett @ElenaBennett]

So, my TEDxCERN talk is online, and it got a dizzying and somewhat terrifying 20,000 views in the first day. Listen to find out more about how I think we can envision, and achieve, a Good Anthropocene.

This incredibly well done animation puts the temperature change we’ve observed over our lives in the context of the last 20,000 years and the next 5000 years to show just how unprecedented and massive an experiment we’re conducting with the only home we have.

The good news is innovative farmer groups such as @YaharaPride are forging solutions. We need to support them.

Happy #WorldWaterDay! Celebrate clean water by thanking a wetland today. The water that ends up in your tap or favorite lake or river is cleaned by wetlands that remove pollutants and sediments. https://t.co/YabJ2g5MN1
