Last year I wrote an OpEd for The Boston Globe titled "Climate Education Should Be Taught in Schools". Education is a powerful mitigation tool and also an excellent way for voters to make more informed choices when they are able. #climatechange

Before choosing bottled water over tap water, remember it takes more than 10X the water that a bottle of water holds to make the plastic bottle and transport the water. And that’s before considering the fuel and GHGs, the 1000 year bottle life, and the RIDICULOUS amount of $ we’re paying for water.

Something tells me that I think of you a lot more than you think of me. That's okay. I cannot help that, nor will I ponder on it. I am content in the thought that you are on my mind and in my heart. Honestly, why should I worry about anything?

Amazon might deliver 'convenience', but it can’t replicate the magic of stepping into a quiet bookstore on a rainy day, where the scent of old pages mingles with fresh coffee and every shelf holds the promise of a new adventure waiting to be discovered.

But the simple reality is this: fossil fuels are not compulsory.
Shell is not compulsory. Exxon's CEO is not compulsory. Oil is not compulsory. Alex Epstein is not compulsory. Energy is important: fossil fuels are an obscenely shitty, unreliable, dirty and outdated way of getting energy.

We had heard about the challenges posed by motherhood within academia, but what about the previous stage? @ecfreewoman.bsky.social & I wrote our story for @science.org on how the academic system makes it almost impossible for women to even plan for a family ❤️🩹: www.science.org/content/arti...
As women in academia, having children can feel impossible. Talking about it makes us feel less alone
The struggle is “balancing their careers not just with motherhood, but with what comes before: relationships and planning for a family,” these postdocs write

This part of morning I love. I fill up the kettle, to make my tea. I open up the house. A lone star looks back at me. A butterfly flies past. Everyone's still asleep. It's so quiet on a Sunday morning.

Did you know that the food system has a staggering impact on the environment? In many ways, it's bigger than fossil fuels.
- Our food system uses ~37% of the world's land
- It is responsible for ~70% of our freshwater use
- And it emits 22-34% of our greenhouse gases
