Since New York City launched congestion pricing in January 2025, traffic has dropped and the air is cleaner. Cornell University study found fine particulate pollution (PM2.5) in Manhattan’s Congestion Relief Zone fell by about 22% in the first six months compared with projected levels without tolls.

@governorwalz.mn.gov please bring your campaign trail rhetoric back to MN. Repeal the data center tax exemptions cost our state hundreds of millions while making big tech billionaires even richer.

Usually, when NOAA releases its annual report on CO2 levels, it publishes a web page with detailed analysis. Not this time. NOAA quietly put the data on social media without even mentioning the fact that CO2 levels jumped dramatically.

The Rights of Manoomin legislation, authored by Senator Mary Kunesh (SF 1247), is advancing in the Minnesota Legislature- bringing with it a sense of hope, healing, and justice. This bill recognizes wild rice, Minnesota’s state grain, as holding the right to exist, flourish, and be protected.

Dingiso Dendrolagus mbaiso
Dingiso Dendrolagus mbaiso Endangered Location: West Papua (Indonesia) The Dingiso is a Tree Kangaroo that is listed as Endangered because of an ongoing, drastic population decline, suspected to be more than 50% over the last three generations (i.e., 30 years), due to increasing human activities (agriculture and hunting). The western-most parts of the population are currently secure because of traditional beliefs, but if those change, the species could very quickly slip towards extinction.

They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.

There’s an important implication here that might not be readily apparent at a glance. Yes, there is far more satellite data than the number of radiosondes — but the *impact* of radiosondes vs all other data observation sources isn’t necessarily proportional to its number.
I can’t believe this is even a conversation. Shutting down radiosonde sites will cost orders of magnitude more $ via poorer forecast skill. NASA’s GMAO keeps tabs here: gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/forecasts/sy...

Glaciers are nature’s water towers. They provide freshwater to ecosystems, feeding rivers, lakes, and groundwater supplies that sustain life. Melting glaciers disrupt weather patterns, making extreme weather events more severe. They also cause sea levels to rise.
That's why glaciers matter.

Forests are HOME to 80% of all land-based species. They also clean our air, filter our water, and absorb massive amounts of carbon dioxide, helping to keep our planet livable.
Protecting forests isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s about respecting life in all its forms.

Holcim Industries has proposed a plan to dig a 200ft deep mine pit in Minnesota's Mississippi Riverbed to extract sand and gravel. The proposed project could harm wetlands and destroy habitat for threatened species, which raises concerns about whether adequate mitigation plans can be made.
