Heard @billmckibben.bsky.social speak last week. While China installed 277 GW of solar in 2024 - enough for 40 million homes. The US? Couldn't sabotage its energy future better if it tried. Decentralized and abundant renewables mean less extraction, fewer resource wars and energy without empire!☀️

Saw this beautiful Chinese mantis yesterday in NJ. Although not native they prey on many of the insect pests that residents hate in their gardens! 🦟🦗🪲 #Mantis #ChineseMantis #Insects

So much for Gaza awakening critical thought. So many continuing to lap up Western by celebrating a US-backed puppet allied with Netanyahu. A perfect example of how dissent is neutralized. #NobelPrize #Gaza #NoamChomsky

They loved Greta's moral clarity when it was a good look for them. That same clarity would be a good look today! But their commitment to human rights has a very specific & profitable border. Their silence as she faced arrest and reports of abuse reveal everything

Progress doesn’t come from asking permission within broken systems. It comes from defying the systems that protect harm and punish change! #ConservationRevolution #EnvironmentalJustice #GeorgeBernardShaw

Herman Daly said it before most were ready: the economy lives inside nature. Soil, water, weather, biodiversity—these aren’t “externalities.” They’re foundations. The real crisis isn’t ignorance, but the pretense we can ignore this. #Conservation #Nature #ConservationRevolution #NatureRisk

Spotted this beautiful Eastern Ratsnake calmly soaking up the sun at Greenbrook Nature Sanctuary in NJ. Harmless, non-venomous, and great for rodent control! 🐍 #NJNature #NJWildlife #Snakes

Spotted a pair of ospreys on the Hudson River in NY/NJ yesterday—fitting for Earth Day. These long-distance migrants return from South America each spring to nest along the East Coast. Their recovery after the DDT ban is one of the best-known conservation wins 🪶 #Birds #Birding #BirdingNY #BirdingNJ

A Red Kite gliding with its impressive wingspan across the skies of County Down, Ireland. While these native birds are still on a delicate path to recovery, targeted conservation initiatives in Ireland are crucial to bolstering their populations and ensuring their survival 🪶 #Birds #RedKite #Ireland

Long-eared owl in New York - these winter visitors seek dense pine stands for daytime roosting from Nov-March. Their camouflage is incredible, blending perfectly with bark patterns. Kept my distance, quick photo, moved on. Let them rest! #birds

Ruddy duck diving on the Hudson River today. These specialized divers migrate to NY waters for winter months, plunging beneath the Hudson's surface in search of mussels, aquatic insects, and tiny crustaceans. #WildlifeNY #HudsonRiver #BirdingNYC #BirdingNJ

A Red-tailed Hawk swooping above me in Central Park. It's encouraging to see these wonderful birds becoming an increasingly common sight. #Birding #BirdWatching
