And I'm out. I appreciated the discourse that Twitter once provided, but it's getting weird in here, and at the highest level of the company✌️

Western NC is still fighting hard to recover from Hellene. They need more funding from Congress & the NCGA, who shouldn't look away - and visitors. Video from @buncombeGov Commissioner Drew Ball in Asheville about how much budgets were hurt by the loss of tourism. #ncpol

With uncertainty in WNC, Raleigh and especially DC, our hard-hit county has to manage our finances carefully & thoughtfully in the wake of Helene. We advocate for and await state & federal assistance. A hard lesson on storm impacts to county revenues. instagram.com/reel/DFEgsVvtN…

Good news! There's great opportunity in the Southeast for clean energy, economic development, and job growth. But there's bad news too—power companies trying to lean in on fossil gas instead of the clean energy solutions that are right in front of them. nrdc.org/bio/jackson-mo…

The company behind Mountain Valley Pipeline cut its planned extension into NC in half. But any pipeline is still dangerous for communities. North Carolinians don't need this expensive, polluting fracked gas pipeline. #StopMVP cardinalnews.org/2024/01/02/mou…

"After 32 years of routine, large-scale exposures to lead in water without our knowledge or consent, we need a regulation that finally prioritizes public health over ease of water utility compliance with non-health-based requirements." @EPAMichaelRegan captimes.com/opinion/guest-…

9 million U.S. homes & businesses get their water through lead pipes. There's no safe level of lead exposure. It's National Lead Poisoning Prevention week & we’re urging @EPA to #GetTheLeadOut. Protect communities by proposing the strongest possible Lead+Copper Rule Improvements.

Building the Mountain Valley Pipeline Southgate extension would put North Carolinians at risk for water contamination, explosions, and more—all for dirty gas that's unreliable. North Carolina's General Assembly must protect communities and #StopMVP! action.nrdc.org/letter/2149-af…

It's time to #GettheLeadOut! October is Lead Prevention month and this fall the @EPA will release an updated Lead and Copper Rule. Join @NRDC and partners on October 4th for a rally to celebrate! It's a new day in America and we're ready to GET THE LEAD OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL!🥤

UAW members and auto workers across the country deserve fair pay, benefits, and a high-quality job. Along with the cars many of us drive, they are building electric vehicles and a sustainable future. nbcnews.com/business/busin…

We've been saying this for over a decade and a new @WRIClimate report confirms - harvesting wood products (including paper and biomass for energy) has overlooked carbon costs. Soaring demand and flawed climate accounting are causing a catastrophic explosion of emissions.
Justin Catanoso@jcatanoso

My latest for @MongabayOrg concerns a new study in @Nature on the global impact of logging for timber/biofuel on emissions. Most media have ignored; they shouldn't. news.mongabay.com/2023/07/timber… @billmckibben @ElizKolbert @chriscmooney @dwallacewells @WRIClimate @guardianeco @YaleE360
