“The [MN] PFAS Blueprint is the most comprehensive & broad-sweeping action plan put forth by a state for PFAS regulatory & legislative change, as it seeks to address environmental pollution from PFAS in areas well beyond just drinking water.” Learn more: https://t.co/TcT10U8gAW

#DYK: wetlands cover ~20% of MN? Our 10.6 million acres of wetlands serve critical functions, like providing wildlife habitat, filtering out pollutants & sediment, & lessening flood threats by storing water. Learn more about our wetlands: https://t.co/26OtR1thN1 #WorldWetlandsDay

While MN’s air quality meets all federal standards, it’s not the same everywhere & not everyone gets an equal shot at breathing clean air. Environmental justice is one focus in MPCA’s biennial report on air quality, The air we breathe, available now: https://t.co/CMr40bjmwF

I asked some friends to help me explain why Election Day might be a little different this year.

The four of us don't agree on everything. But we do agree on this: The 2020 election is too important to sit out.

Go vote.

@leahrcy1 @nfreidus Just saw this now as clearly I have been inadvertently Twitter distancing during this time. Love this- we surely would have!

I really appreciate this, especially after the removal a few impressive trees upon the sale of my family’s home.

Congrats @KrisAJohnson and colleagues on this important @nature_org article!

Excited to see our @nature_org article w/@oejwing @fathom_global published in @naturesustainab! Conserving floodplains can be a cost-effective way to reduce #flood risk: https://t.co/CSBTNqrqah

Inconsistent funding is a fundamental problem affecting state wildlife agencies. The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act would address this challenge with dedicated funding to conserve for at-risk wildlife such as Georgia’s bobwhite quail. 📸: @USFWS

Today's action by @GovTimWalz to create a #climatechange subcabinet is a great way for Minnesota to develop innovative climate change solutions. We're doing our part by planting tree species in state forests that are predicted to adapt to a warmer climate. https://t.co/55WCbgI8nA

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Climate change threatens the very things that make MN a great place to live. That’s why I’m signing this Executive Order to create a Climate Change Subcabinet — bringing state government agencies together to implement bold, collaborative action on climate change. #OneMinnesota

Whether communities are battered by #wildfire or #hurricanes or acts of #violence, their long road to recovery often has the common denominators of nature and #stewardship

So true @NilaHines. This piece also generated a rather thoughtful set of comments.
