#petromasculinity seems like the root of a lot of our problems.

[Isaias Hernandez @queerbrownvegan]

Toxic masculinity is killing the planet. Misogyny, climate change, and fossil fuel industry are all intertwined. Find out about #petromasculinity

We must bring climate-resilient infrastructure to underserved communities AND invest in good jobs for those who have been left behind.

[Louisiana Bucket Brigade @labucketbrigade]

Watch how pollution from plants in Cancer Alley disperses across the region, affecting Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and beyond. Air and water don't stop at parish lines. What happens in St. James Parish will affect all of us deeply.

@grist Locusts are the gateway bug!

[Ben Hughey @MountainMapper]

Yáa at Wooné is a beautiful film about an ongoing environmental injustice in Alaska. The state allows a fishery that wastes 90% of biomass while threatening indigenous subsistence. RSVP for the screening on May 5th: https://t.co/mzC8oIl8T4

@seattletimes One contribution to abundance may be that Herring got 2 years without the devastating Sitka sac roe fishery. Sitkans are organizing against the fishery https://t.co/9asqdx02zN

[Abbie Dillen @AbbieDillen]

Thanks ⁦@StevenMufson⁩ for this in-depth piece on the proposed cancer and carbon bomb that Formosa would drop in St. James Parish. The rush to build petrochemical plants to create more plastic is a disaster for environmental justice & climate. https://t.co/Vne5OD9Xwc

Also, props to the Outdoor R&D Lab at @uwearthlab for their years of research into this topic, with support from @usfs_pnwrs (and even some help from @MTSGreenway !)

[Ben Hughey @MountainMapper]

Good acknowledgement that data skews "younger, more highly educated, and more affluent than the general population." If applied widely, this counting method might de-prioritize #publiclands important for indigenous subsistence & less publicized uses.

[Headwaters Economics @headecon]

New data sources can change the way we count #outdoorrecreation, allowing trail managers to better advocate for improvements and plan for growing demand. See how we're testing new methods with @Strava data and more. https://t.co/7Z0cBcQLpF

This should be final season people of @KCMO tolerate the @Chiefs name.

Kansas City, Missouri is a good city with good people.

It doesn't deserve to be held back by commodified prejudice.

@NoelFrame's HB 1258 would authorize microenterprise home kitchens, creating economic opportunity for micro-business owners and others impacted by the current pandemic. Let the people eat home cooked food! #waleg 🙌
