People from a penguin's perspective.
My teammate led a summer Maker Camp, one project the youth built is this "Door Prank." The sign on the door reads "Candy Shoppe," because of course there needs to be a reason to open a door standing for no reason in a grove of redwoods.

A climate scientist stopped by during the race, pointed at the sculpture of a glacial face on the vehicle, and said, "I've just got back from there, it looks exactly like that."
He politely didn't comment on Tennessee Tuxedo's attire.

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love.
Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!
We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

I understand her completely. Our team starts building art several months ahead of the race on Memorial day weekend. It's eerie how quickly the world catches up and sometimes surpasses our absurdist climate messaging.

I hadn't considered my privilege to live exactly where I want to be; I've never needed to fly.
"Choosing not to fly can be difficult when you live on a small island, but in the 15 years since we made the decision, we have never regretted it and never found it to be inconvenient."
Elaine: living on an island flight-free
Elaine Burton shares her experience of what it's like to live on a small island if you've chosen to be flight free for life.
