As the climate changes, species' habitats are shifting. Assisting species to migrate to these shifts may result in saving vulnerable and endangered species. #ENVS5000

Enbridge’s Line 5 is 20 years past it’s useful lifetime, has leaked over 100 times and spilled over a million gallons into the Great Lakes. MI voters must refuse to support candidates who support this environmental & economic hazard in the upcoming election. #ENVS5000
“Any candidate who supports keeping the threat of Line 5 going is not representing us, but is representing a company. It is the single biggest threat to businesses, jobs, and quality of life in our area. This is not doomsday alarmism. It is reality.”https://t.co/tPbwT6GKpb

The US establishment of the Office of Environmental Justice and Civil Rights within the EPA is a necessary first step to widely recognize climate change as an intersectional issue. #ENVS5000
The establishment of a national office dedicated to advancing environmental justice and civil rights at @EPA will help ensure our work to address the climate crisis and our greatest environmental challenges are grounded in justice and equity.
This essay parallels ineffective global response to covid-19 and climate change. I remain optimistic that in one crisis we may learn a lesson for the other. #ENVS5000

An unprecedented move by Patagonia to combat climate change. Curiosity & enthusiasm remain to learn where this money will be allocated, who is involved in the decision-making process, & if other purpose-driven companies will follow this historic example. #ENVS5000
Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.
