Our 30th annual environmental conference is coming to the KC area on 5/2! Registration is currently open for attendees and sponsors! If you have a topic you'd like to speak on, we are still finalizing our agenda and may have room for you! midwestawma.org/conference

Great pictures this year! I gotta say my favorite might be Union Covered Bridge 👀 If you look closely at the wall on the left side of the bridge there is a little bit of MO wildlife to be found! 🐍

I’m looking forward to moderating the Waste Roundtable again this year!

This is a good reminder. I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about climate resiliency, and most of that is infrastructure and community/region level stuff. Acclimatizing by spending time outdoors is something individuals can do.

@AirWasteYP @PaulAlgu12 And an extra special #shoutout to our speakers from all these great organizations: @ECTINC @FLDEPNews @insideFPL @ICF @LSU @MARCKCMetro @MosaicCompany @DLS_REEthink @rippleglass @TampaElectric @TrinityConsults @UF @WasteManagement Thank you!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in #AWMAVACE2021! This year's conference featured the largest YP technical track in A&WMA history and a return to a full slate of YPAC programming. We can't wait to see you next year (in-person!) in San Francisco 🌁 - @PaulAlgu12

@AirWasteYP This was a really fun way to end the conference!

Are you winding down #AwmaVACE2021 with us? The YP Mixology Happy Hour is here!

Any kind of Zelda updates got me all: 🤩

Great way to spend my lunch! Thanks for joining us at #AwmaVACE2021, @EPA Deputy Administrator McCabe!

It was my pleasure to chair the Stack Testing panel - I hope attendees enjoy it as much as I did!

Oh hey, #AWMAVACE2021 is next week! Time to blow the dust off my Twitter account!

Announcing our May meeting! Speakers from @SCSengineers will be joining us to talk about recreational cannabis - an emerging industry with complex environmental challenges. Join us Thurs, May 27 at 11 am for this interesting and timely topic! Register at:midwestawma.org/events/awma-on…

I’m not sure how much my Daisy Scout got out of it, but I sure am feeling inspired after listening to @MichelleObama tonight! Thanks Mrs. Obama and @girlscouts! #iambecoming

@NWSKansasCity This must be that “new normal” I keep hearing about!

This is kind of a big deal. Every 10 years the climate normals are released for the previous 30 years (1991-2020). Overall the local area has seen a bit of an increase in temperature, and slightly dryer than in the previous 30 year stretch (1981-2010). ncei.noaa.gov/news/noaa-deli…

For everyone asking HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN? sweet, sweet @MoseBuchele is finally back online (we are so grateful, the rest of us are not experts about the grid) and has this explainer. Which is way better than any official has done this week kut.org/energy-environ…

Daughter of a lineman here 🙋‍♀️ Our utility workers work hard in some of the most brutal weather, on holidays, weekends, and in the middle of the night. Give them a hearty thank you if you can!

Subzero weekend temps got Kansas City at French Toast Condition Red. I got one of 5 remaining egg cartons!
