I've just discovered that swapping out beef for poultry and pork can lower our land use and our agricultural-carbon by a full 25%. Of course going veggie reduces both by more than 50% (WRI Report https://t.co/5gVl2SXUdJ). #sustainable #gogreen

Here’s where I remind us that 34 Senate seats are up in the midterms, and 20 of those are Republican seats. Get busy taking them!

[Democratic Coalition @TheDemCoalition]

The Senate is debating two major voting rights bills and not ONE Republican is going to vote for them.

If you think Democrats need to pass these bills without GOP votes then reply with #VotingRightsForThePeople

@Battino4Senate Although cryptocurrency's percentage of global electricity use is only about 0.2-0.6%, that's more than any single product should use. This article by the International Energy Agency may be useful. https://t.co/LcClUv0myh
