I just want the many ecosystems of the Earth to thrive. Why is that so much to ask, homo sapiens? Why?

Thank God for Sunset at the San Francisco Bay. They have saved me night after night after night.

This snowy egret should join a football team. Chased this cormorant about 30 yards down the mudflats - whether trying to match its catches or chasing it away, I couldn't tell. The Albany Bulb is packed with various shorebirds, it's fun to watch how they interect between species.

Snowy egret in the mudflats of Albany. CA. Hanging out by mudflats is such a joy this time of year.

I'm psyched to be presenting about Clean Water for Birds this Sunday at the Berkeley Bird Festival. Stormwater-R-Us! So many great speakers and events!

What happened to working on a nationwide general strike? Super sad this seems to have fallen off the Indivisible agenda, and now smaller groups are doing it locally on their own. We need a nationwide #generalstrike. Protests are obviously not ernough, even for pulling people together. We're ready.

I've been telling folks I have 14 people ion my team at Wholly H2O. But then, I just counted with all the new interns and it's actually 29 people I'm managing. No wonder I am exhausted right now. Doin' it all for the East Bay watersheds.

How beautifully sweet to have the first email of the day be a request from someone's recent widow to have our stickers on the water dispensers and as a gift for those coming to the Memorial. Now that is a testament to how much David Nesmith loved his water source.

ISO #Rainwater tanks in #Oakland. Did you get Bushman tanks in 2013 from the City of Oakland that you're not using? Donate or sell them inexpensively to our Urban Promise Academy in #Fruitvale rainwater harvesting project. We've had two other people do just that.
