Back when I worked for hospice, I once asked my supervisor what she was afraid of.
“Huntington’s disease,” she said. She’d walked alongside many people who’d suffered from this horrible, incurable, genetic illness.
Today, amazing news out of Britain.

Both the frequency and severity of extreme weather disasters are increasing around the world, as climate changes.
Which country is most at risk? The US, the same country that stopped tracking their billion-plus dollar weather and climate disasters this year.

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. 💚

A new dam on the Klabava River south of Prague to protect critical habitat hit bureaucratic delays…but a colony of beavers took things into their own paws, building a series of dams in the same locations the engineers had planned, creating a wetland that saved the Czech govt 1.2M euros.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

“Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.” is one of my favourite quotes. Often attributed to Saint Augustine, though the source is unknown.
