At 6:45 p.m., The Union was CROWDED due to the ballroom being at full capacity. Those who were waiting outside to see Hank Green, hoping to still get in, were told to leave by security. #310schwartz

Councilwoman Fuentes told us the climate change buzz today. She said only 13% of the U.S. is reserved for biodiversity — but the Biden Administration plans to change that to 30% by 2030. To conclude, she told a bee-themed joke that made the board laugh. #j301schwartz

On The NY Times, I read that new regulations will soon be brought to Facebook after a whistleblower claimed the platform was harmful towards young people. I think this is relevant especially because the app shutdown yesterday and people want answers. #NewsEngagementDay #j301
