We can’t prevent natural disasters. But if we prepare now, we can control how they impact our lives. By capturing rainwater, managing runoff, making room for our rivers, and restoring ecological function throughout our watersheds, we can get on the path to a sustainable future.

Announcing Healthy Streets LA, a ballot measure mandating that @LACity implement its own Mobility Plan when repaving streets. Despite @LACityCouncil passing the plan in 2015, only 3% has been implemented (in 7 years!) It's time for a paradigm shift. healthystreetsla.com (1/8)

It's past time for FEMA to account for climate change in their mapping and policies. Communities deserve accurate and transparent risk information. #FloodFEMA #FixFlooding

Almost none of our debate acknowledges how inevitably disruptive the climate emergency (and the need to respond to it) has become to human systems we still think of as "too big to change."

It's 2020 & its time to change the way we think about disposables! AB No. 619 is the new CA statewide law that allows food vendors to serve customers in reusable containers & lets the public bring reusable containers to restaurants for take-out. ♻️🍱

“The U.S. learned nearly a century ago that "levees only" is a failed path.” The safest way forward, for people and the environment, is to give rivers room. @sciam bit.ly/2ZrKl04

What was different about 2019 was the response to climate change. More people started clamoring for a Green New Deal, Democratic presidential candidates began talking fluently about the crisis & young climate activists took to the streets to demand action! bit.ly/2SBZdbz
