109 years wasted when we could have acted to avoid climate collapse but instead fossil fuel companies lied and fueled the problem and our politicians repeatedly failed to do what is needed.

We still have a window to avert disaster but it gets shorter by the day. #ActOnClimate

@jasonmauck1 My assumption (no research on my part) is that mycelium fruits at the outer edge of the organism and the area in the center of the ring is where the fungi have colonized.

[Savanna Institute @Savannainst]

Staff members Scott Brainard appeared on @WPR's @wprmornings today to discuss new funding for improving the cultivation of nut, fruit and #treecrops in the Midwest to make them market viable for #climateresilience. #agroforestry

A confirmed tornado is on the ground near O'Hare airport! This tornado has been touching the ground intermittently so far and is moving east. There are additional circulations along the line south of O'Hare. Seek shelter if in the warned area!

Hear our own Liz Rupel and @Farmland's Dylan Cook on The 21st Show about the harm of dust storms - and fertilizer pollution

@BenNollWeather One week after we experienced just about that in the Chicago area. Following two months of drought here.

I wish our sewage sludge wasn't contaminated with chemicals, because it's so valuable. But mixing all the waste streams, plus the pervasive presence of #PFAS in so many products, makes its use risky and threatens our soils and waterways and aquifers. How can this be remediated?

[Non Toxic Communities @nontoxcom]

The state stresses the nutrient value in sewage sludge while dangerously downplaying its toxicity and threat to human health, the environmental group said in a report. https://t.co/uM1q92ztx4

Food pantry produce donations are OPEN until 3:00 pm tomorrow (Friday June 30)! Leave any produce you want to donate in bags/bunches in the cooler by the Food Forest toolshed (south of Payne St. at Hartrey Ave.). Signs and poster for collection day will be up!

[Tim Sonder @idgevanston]

Noticable worse in the last two hours. And I seem to be surrounded by yard crews with polluting two stroke engines.

[NWS Chicago @NWSChicago]

Low visibility due to wildfire smoke will continue today. Consider limiting prolonged outdoor activities. For observations and forecasts of air quality, visit https://t.co/N5S58sVQNn. #ILwx #INwx

This was an awesome conversation, you don’t want to miss it.

[Lake Michigan @LakeMichigan13]

Finally a move in a good direction. Now end #Line5 on my bottom to protect 21% of the earth’s surface fresh water, drinking water for 40 million humans and 250 species of fish. #GreatLakes 🌊🌊

The desire to avoid any mandated changes has now led certain organizations representing some farmers to force removal of the phrase "Nutrient reduction strategy" in state regulations designed to reduce nutrient loss. Shaking my head!

[Liz Moran Stelk @lizziestelk]

"..The primary objective of the nutrient strategy was not to clean up the water. The primary objective of the nutrient strategy was to convince EPA not to regulate nutrient pollution in the Mississippi River basin like they do in the Chesapeake Bay."

Food security tied to work makes no sense; "The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimated the debt ceiling agreement would put almost 750,000 adults ages 50 to 54 at risk of losing food assistance because they do not meet the SNAP work reporting requirements."

[Liz Moran Stelk @lizziestelk]

"Folks that are challenged already to make ends meet, putting an additional requirement on SNAP is just going to make it more difficult, bc it's not about just the work requirement. It's getting to work, you have day care needs. How else does that disrupt or affect your life?"

[NWS Chicago @NWSChicago]

Wow, look at those wave heights being measured by the Wilmette Buoy on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan! Wave heights >10' typically occur with strong storms in the spring and fall, but are incredibly rare during the summertime months. #ILwx #INwx #LakeMichigan

[Tim Sonder @idgevanston]

@Rainmaker1973 This is really cool to watch.... In this context. Also explains why a CO2 gas pipeline leak is did extremely dangerous. Carbon capture pipeline breaks can suffocate life and simultaneously stop escape or rescue via fossil fueled vehicles, which depend on oxygen, too.

[Collin Gross @CollinGrossWx]

Smoke from the Quebec wildfires will drift south towards the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, & Northeast the next several days leading to milky/hazy skies and filtered sunshine.

[Tim Sonder @idgevanston]

Limiting the definition of "the waters of the United States" is a disaster. The Court has continued to hurt this nation's environment.

[Lake Michigan @LakeMichigan13]

Another Supreme Court ruling that just stinks. 😡😡🌊🌊

Planning to be on the lakeshore today and tomorrow? Keep a jacket handy as temperatures fall into the upper 50s! Elsewhere, temperatures will gradually fall today and remain “relatively” cool tomorrow. #ILwx #INwx
