With their leaves and needles, the trees act like giant filters. One ha. of beech forest can filter around 70 tons of dust out of the air every year, a ha. of spruce forest as much as 30 tons. Forests and parks as "green lungs" are important💚🌱🌿☘️🌲🌳🍀💚
This goes hard. This goes so hard. Crowd chanting “tax the rich” tonight as Rep Mike Flood tries to speak. This is in Columbus, Nebraska. It is the 10th largest city in Nebraska, 85 miles from Omaha and 75 miles from Lincoln.
Hours after @fordnation called a premature election under the guise of seeking a mandate he already has, I have been visited by a PC candidate.
Good person, good reputation, but I told him this: Ford lied, Ontarians know it, and he's made all of us more vulnerable to Trump.

New opinion piece from me on why we're failing on climate... too much compliance, not enough resistance. The AGU ought to be ashamed #AGU2024

Brazil's Amazon is being eradicated

The province committed $24 M for the Holland Marsh Phosphorus Recycling Facility in Apr 2022, but shovels have still not gone in the ground to build it. It's time for Minister @Andrea_Khanjin to get it done.

Ouch. It'll be an expensive start to 2025 for drivers on highway 407 while Ford lets tolls go way up.
Trucks will pay 3x the rates too, meaning more of them will end up jamming onto the 401.
Higher tolls and longer commutes - that's the cost of Doug.

SHOCKING: This is blatant life endangerment thru dangerous public policy I wouldn’t have thought possible until recently. In Ontario the Doug Ford Govt plans to BAN LAWSUITS against the Province WHEN people on bikes are hurt or killed after they rip out safe bike-lanes. “Stay off streets for your own safety.”
If you told a child that decades ago the worlds scientists warned that human existence was is in doubt unless we took emergency action, they wouldn’t believe we hadn’t done so. And yet here we are.
If you’ve got kids it’s worth keeping in mind that pretty much all the science is pointing to our society having collapsed before they are the age you are now.
Tearing up bike lanes won't solve the gridlock in our province. Ford knows that even as he ramps up his culture-war BS.
I'm fighting for a safe ride to school for my kids and a safe commute for all cyclists.
We can't let the Ford government get away with this.

The University of Chicago just received $100 million from an anonymous donor. Donations of that size fundamentally shift an institution’s programming and priorities, and we know that donors exert influence on campus policy. So this is—as one of my colleagues put it—basically dark money, it should be illegal to stay anonymous when exerting this much influence on an institution that’s publicly supported through tax exemptions, federal grants, non-profit status, etc.
