Ignoring climate science won’t stop the storms, heatwaves, or health crises.
We need evidence-based action—now.

Across the nation, most people love the National Park Service. The story is a little different in D.C. A place to gather, play, walk your dog — all are absent from D.C. parks.

40 diners takes the space of 3 parked cars and I’m supposed to believe removing this is better for the local economy?

The new @ward8woods tracker is a great visualization of the scale of illegal dumping + trash harming communities in Ward 8

This would be unacceptable in other neighborhoods. Residents deserve better and they deserve access to clean, safe parks.

Cities w/high bicycling rates tend to be safer for #bicyclists, #pedestrians, AND #drivers

✅Bike lanes provide ⬆️ road visibility
✅Bike + pedestrian infrastructure creates a built environment that mitigates deadly speeds

Have you ever felt underwhelmed by #plantbased options at restaurants?

A lot of it has to do with menu design ➡️reinventing menus to celebrate #sustainable options cultivates a strong consumer base that will continuously buy plant-based foods

Plant rich menus = plant rich diets

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

New study: Cities that encourage cycling are safer for everyone -- including those who never bike:

"Higher-bicycling cities are significantly associated with better overall road safety outcomes."

American carbon emissions are down to 1991 levels!

This is largely due to an 8% emission reduction from the power sector (⬆️ #solar, ⬇️ #coal)

Meanwhile, car + air travel continue to work against our #climate goals, w/a 1.6% emissions increase last year

The entire Georgia Avenue NW corridor is in desperate need of a road diet! Implementation of the Georgia Ave. Bus Priority Project will help, but @DDOTDC will need to implement additional tools here to truly make it safer! https://t.co/U8DpCUY9Me

Chronic #kidney disease due to type 2 #diabetes (CKD-T2D) has emerged as a growing global public health concern, especially among adults under 60 years old, with a higher disease burden in males than females. 

Incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of #CKD-T2D from 1990 to 2019:

DC, it's time to scrape your plate!

As of February 1, all @DCDPW Food Waste Drop-Off sites now accept meat and seafood scraps, dairy products, and bones.🍎🥦🧀🦐🍞

[Ward 8 Bike Alliance @W8BikeAlliance]

When you look at this map and compare it to moveDC's map of areas with the greatest transportation needs, you have to question whether @DDOTDC is meeting its equity goals. Despite some trails, through FY 2026 there are 0 plans to install a protected bike lane in ward 8 EOTR.

Food is Medicine.

How will the White House’s new partnerships with Instacart, Rockefeller Foundation, and Feeding America build a #healthyAmerica?
