Hawai'ians have been fighting back against plastic pollution, which is clogging our waterways and killing our #wildlife. Today, our federal lawmakers will join us in the fight with the reintroduction of the #BreakFreeFromPlastic Pollution Act. #WildlifeOverWaste

Thanks to Edward Case for joining @RepLowenthal & @SenJeffMerkley in the fight to protect our oceans from plastic waste. #WildlifeOverWaste #BeyondPlastics

We've been pushing Whole Foods to break up with single-use plastics for a while now. But like any good friend, we need to continue telling Whole Foods a truth they don't want to hear: Love may not last forever, but plastic pollution definitely will.

A Big Oil exec told me I had a "misconception" about a special tax break polluters get that other businesses don't.

So, after explaining the deduction to him, I offered to write it out of the tax code if that what he wants. Just let me know!

I've got a good feeling #RightToRepair this season. The same bill is introduced by a majority of Republicans in one state, and a majority of Democrats in another. The same bill is introduced in Oklahoma and Massachusetts. That's pretty awesome. https://t.co/e1nbS8YKHC

Preschool-aged daughter at bedtime: "Do trees fart?"
Me, right away: "No, trees don't fart"
...
Me, now, existentially pondering my career studying plant gas exchange, respiration, and metabolism: "....do trees fart? Do I study tree farts? Are VOCs and methane tree farts?"

Before Maxine Waters, before Barack Obama, and before Kamala Harris, there was Shirley Chisholm.

Chisholm was the first black woman to run for president and the first black woman to be elected to the U.S. Congress, representing the 12th congressional district of Brooklyn.

Breaking News: Sen. Kamala Harris of California is Joe Biden’s pick for vice president. A pragmatic moderate, she is the first Black woman on a major party ticket. https://t.co/Ttvh5RyxUB

[The New York Times @nytimes]

If Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are elected in November, it would fall to Gov. Gavin Newsom of California to choose a person to fill Harris's U.S. Senate seat. Who might he pick? https://t.co/Hz4ab56qT8

Beaches are being polluted across our country. We need better infrastructure and stronger support. Check our #safe4swimming campaign and help make our water a safe place for the summer.

[Environment America @EnvAm]

Our new #Safe4Swimming report shows how pollution at our beaches is putting swimmers at risk. https://t.co/L7Flyw29KV
