And just like that, our #DelmarvaDisco data collection is complete. Almost 10 years of science in these small, mysterious, and beautiful wetlands is done.

I’m not able to get out and be a part of the activist action anymore. That means that I’ve pivoted away from issues like marriage equality/social justice/maternal mortality/etc and towards the Poly Crisis. Educating myself so that I can share knowledge and enact change at home first.

I am trying to take public transportation more instead of driving. I am trying to eliminate my spending at Walmart and Amazon entirely. I am trying to use less plastic. I am trying to eat less meat and never get fast food. These tiny acts of resistance add up. I recommend you all try to do the same.

After years of trying, I think I finally talked my husband into backyard chickens.
Turns out all he needed was to watch a 15-minute video about AMOC collapse.

The climate crisis has to be addressed at the national and international level, but consumer choice plays a role. One thing we can do is switch from almonds (R in photo) to pecans (L). Both are similar in nutrition, but it is water use and geography that makes a difference. 1/4

This plan is not perfect, but it is a step in the right direction!
Denmark is returning 15% of its farmland back to nature
The country plans to plant a billion trees as it transitions some farmland back to forests and peatlands.

I’ve mentioned this before, but if you’re short on cash but have an urge to shop, go to your library digital apps and browse the books, audiobooks, movies, shoes, magazines. It works really well to give you the same feeling without spending the cash. (Plus you’re supporting public libraries.) 💙📚
