Smoke from wildfires in Quebec moved across eastern portions of Canada and the U.S. this week. This @NASAEarth computer model used satellite, aircraft, and ground-based data to track the black carbon particles (soot) and hazardous air. go.nasa.gov/3J4yaiu

The rain couldn’t stop the fun at Orenda Springs! Ask your child about their favorite part of the day. #teamwork

WOW! This is the view from the The George Washington bridge running from Manhattan, New York to New Jersey. - This is all stemming from Central Canada, where wildfires are burning in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. - In total there are 211 reported wildfires burning in these two provinces, with 145 of them considered "out of control". - These fires started because of unseasonable hot and dry conditions, and have already forced 10,000 residents to evacuate their homes in Quebec. I think what this shows us is how fragile and interconnected the entire world really is environmentally. An event that takes place in another country can have major impacts and implications on our own. We are all in this thing together. Let's get along and work together to figure things out. The environment is a great place to start.
