@schwarz Thanks for remembering/reading. It's only going to get worse in this watershed with the rezone (20k more people flushing) and climate change. Why are we adding more people and buildings to an already strained and vulnerable neighborhood?

@dwallacewells Thanks for reading. I write more about this in my upcoming book “Over the Seawall” https://t.co/p1rB8QEIAA

Huge 9th Circ win for tribes, enviros fighting Rosemont Copper Mine: It is NOT ok to dump waste on 1000s of acres of public land that lack valuable minerals. My story from MoJo explains plaintiffs’ clever argument and how case could affect future mines. https://t.co/IyLf1Bmui3

@nijhuism Sorry, Michelle! Hope you feel better soon.

Huge win for S. AZ & protection of our waters & wildlife & spectacular scenic vistas & tourism economy today! A fed'l appeals court threw out Rosemont Copper mining plan on public lands, saying it was an illegal give-away to the Canadian mining company.https://t.co/0LX1FhGdN9

@greenbergphoto1 @nyc311 @NYPDnews What was the reason? Teslas are exempt?

Where does your recycling actually go? We used trackers to follow plastic bags and snack wrappers 2,000 miles across Europe. https://t.co/FIXDf42SLT via @bbgvisualdata Just b/c it can be recycled doesn't mean it is. Important story from @BloombergGreen

"Plastic IS climate change" - great reporting and storytelling by @rebecca_altman https://t.co/6A5doKjWms

[Elizabeth Royte @ElizabethRoyte]

We have to talk about plastic. It dominated the last century and will dominate this one as a leading cause of climate change—not because anyone wants more of the stuff, but because the logic of manufacturing demands that it be made, writes @rebecca_altman. https://t.co/MIDj0p1Y4r

@greenbergphoto1 @nytimes I had that same problem doing that stupid Bee. It's a word!

[Kelsey H Jensen, PhD @SoilCarbonSci]

Everyone needs to read this article in its entirety. There are so many important lessons to learn from these women and their stories. We need changes in all research institutions, including @stri_panama, to address widespread sexual harassment in #STEM
