The LA City Council, in an amazing hat trick, just unanimously approved yet another historic ordinance, this time requiring #decarbonization of all new buildings. Thank you Leap LA Coalition, @PaulKoretzCD5, @nithyavraman, @PaulKrekorian, @MayorOfLA & @meganonearth. Tremendous!

Great news! Gov. @GavinNewsom today signed my SB 279, which will help farmers and winegrape growers by allowing them to compost large amounts of agricultural waste onsite rather than shipping it hundreds of miles away to a composting facility.

To all the right wing billionaires who think an unimaginably devastating wildfire is the appropriate time to score political points on our City… Please shut all the way up and go help somebody. In LA we stand together.

🚨Fire update: The State is moving hundreds of fire engines, firefighters, hand crews, and bulldozers from every corner of California into the greater Los Angeles region. These engines and crews started to arrive yesterday evening and will continue to surge today. CA had also requested assistance (additional engines, fire fighters and hand crews) from other Western states and those requests are being filled. @LACoFDPIO @Cal_OES

rest in peace to donald sutherland who was famously known for portraying president snow in the hunger games. here he spoke about the importance of the series especially for young people when it came to its political themes 🤍🕊️

Did @Schwarzenegger REALLY just do a @StateFarm commercial? Like a terrible neighbor, State Farm is where? Not in CA: cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/n… #SuperBowl2024, @SFGiants

So pleased & humbled to be honored by UCLA for "Bruin Excellence in Civic Engagement" for my decade+ of #ClimateEmergency, #EJ, & #Biodiversity policy work w bold LA CM @PaulKoretzCD5. Thx to incredible Cassie Rauser @LAdarwinista for nominating me @UCLA_Alumni @UCLASustainLA

@Sammy_Roth @latimes Congrats and about time!!

Folks, big @latimes news: Today we're launching Climate California, a new section focused on climate change, the natural world, health and science. As part of this, I'm becoming The Times' first-ever climate columnist. More details here: latimes.com/environment/st…

Dear @PHXSkyHarbor, while we appreciate how thoroughly you have always owned @flyLAXairport with your #sustainability messaging, we do wonder where your food waste composting program is? @District7PHX

@LeadingReport Tell that b.s. to the people: of Lahaina who lost their homes and neighbors to a climate-exascerbated wildfire; of Vermont who are still digging out from massive flooding; of El Paso who lost electricity to extreme weather, & all of us who have to help pay for the devastation.

BREAKING: Over 1600 scientists, including two Nobel Prize winners, from around the world have signed a declaration stating that claims of a “climate emergency” threatening the Earth are a hoax.

“For those of you who are interested in statistics, this is a five-sigma event. So it's five standard deviations beyond the mean. Which means that if nothing had changed, we'd expect to see a winter like this about once every 7.5 million years.” abc.net.au/news/2023-07-2…

@AnnieMLeonard Totally with you

Who else is struggling w/ the disorientation of watching escalating climatic breakdown alongside seeing constant news & ads about the latest inane fashion fad or celeb gossip we’re supposed to be tracking? I am generally a hopeful person, but I admit, I am struggling right now.

“This is the last slap upside the head we’re going to get when it might still matter,” said @billmckibben, a longtime climate activist. “It’s obviously a pivotal moment in the Earth’s climatic history.” 3/5 nytimes.com/2023/07/10/cli…

Climate change isn't a future problem. It's a this week, today, right now problem.

Thank you @CD5LosAngeles & @cd4losangeles for moving forward the vitally important #wildlifeordinance to protect habitat connectivity in our LA hillsides.

Happy Earth Day! Here's an interview I did with Christy Ross of Planted Places, talking mainly about one of the most important solutions to the breakdown of our #climate: #regeneratesoil to sequester carbon dioxide. Click here for the interview: app.searchie.io/hub/45VgwNZVGX...

@PHXSkyHarbor - While I appreciate the educational signage, why doesn't Sky Harbor itself collect & recycle food waste? @MayorGallego @kissthegroundoc @greenlivingaz @PhxDistrict8 @c40cities

To honor P22, help encourage the LA City Council to quickly finish the wildlife corridors ordinance. Please sign into this action alert from our excellent friends @CBD_UrbanWild, #p22forever act.biologicaldiversity.org/rho_ZpgId06IO_…
