“The constant flow of water is pushing those heavy metals towards town. We’re sitting ducks for having our groundwater withdrawn and polluted.”
A planned mining project in the Patagonia Mountains is already impacting downstream water supplies, and harming the fragile mountain ecosystem. Learn more in our latest piece in collaboration with Anthropocene Alliance, published in Earth Island Journal. www.earthisland.org/...

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

Excellent advice, today and every day.
Today is #AprilFoolsDay.
Hoaxes & satires are everywhere.
Check every story that seems too good to be true before you share as fact.
Read About pages.
See if authors exist.
Learn when a website was created, & by whom.
Find other sources to corroborate.
Then, start doing this every day in 2025! :)

There's always room for another book if you get creative with your shelving!
We're double racking books now. Urbanism/transportation books on the right, water books on the left.

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

It's time to resurrect the Tom Bihn t-shirt from 2001. There was a unspoken consolation to wearing it then that I need now.

To get out of the house and away from today's headlines, I took myself on a little ride up Gibraltar, overlooking the Santa Barbara Channel. Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands on the horizon, as a hawk lazily catches the updrafts. The world always looks better from up here.

A comforting quote on a soulless day. Keep eyes on the prize and settle in for the long haul.
Can't let MLK Day end without sharing my favorite quote, which is sadly more relevant today than ever.

Hey. Look at your fingernails. They're growing. Tectonic plates move relative to each other at about the same speed. Have a nice day.
