@keithparish youtu.be/nl-AuY2FnYU?si… Sorry to message here. I don't know how to DM you but wanted you to see this. Recital plus a little afterwards. I hope you are well!

why is every 5th grader in Nashville asked to buy $25 worth of black expo markers for school supplies and will those 500 dry erase markers per class be enough

@newjasonhorn Just put a down payment on one. 6-9 month wait! Evrrybody wanting one now.

When I bought a hybrid car that can run full electric, I had Republicans who went out of their way to tell me how silly that was since gas was so cheap. Funny they've not revisited that nonsense with me.

@JackCraver We had one in far NW Austin that involved the street being shut down. Happened in May 2021.

Some crowd-sourced reporting: when was the last time there was a block party in your Austin neighborhood?

Over the last two months I've read dozens of studies about gas stoves and indoor air quality. I also installed monitors in our home and ran my own tests. Here's a thread on what I learned 🧵 #energytwitter

@SenTedCruz Wind turbines work in cold climates like Antarctica, Denmark, Iowa. The problem was ours weren't properly weatherized. Nor were our gas plants but you can't blame them bc they keep you well funded.

The Biden administration's focus is on paying off liberal special interests and not the science needed to defeat the #CoronavirusPandemic.

@TonyGonzales4TX @JohnCornyn I’m sure the horse and buggy folks felt the same way.

Thousands of American oil/gas workers are being abandoned by this administration. Their livelihoods are being destroyed and all they get in return are vague promises from Washington Democrats for "new", "green" jobs in the future as the bills pile up. foxnews.com/politics/keyst…

For those seeking more from @TheAmandaGorman, she participated in one of @ClimateReality’s leadership trainings, and then at our 24 Hours of Reality event, in LA in 2018. Hers is a powerful and eloquent voice for climate action. Check out “Earthrise”: youtu.be/xwOvBv8RLmo

@RepMcCaul I’m your constituent. Lack of leadership on climate is why I stopped voting GOP. Paris goals are voluntary and the absolute minimum. Bring your solutions to the table.

The rash decision to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement threatens U.S. competitiveness & national security while China is let off the hook. I cannot sit by while Texan & American jobs & security are at risk.

@CapMetroATX I have been keeping my eyes peeled for the new EV busses since learning of their existence. I finally spotted one in the wild at the Domain! So proud of my city for electrifying our fleet! #electricbus #cleanair #electrifyeverything

@MontseTXAFLCIO Is there usually a plan to pick up the signs afterwards? I’m collecting for my neighborhood to carry to the drop off center for recycling. Wondering if I should also collect from nearby polling sites?

1 day until ELECTION Day! 🗳✊🏽🇺🇸✊🏿 Poll dressing voting sites with Austin Central Labor Council for our Travis County endorsed candidates ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 #txlabor2020 @SiegelForTexas @Noelita4AISD @LYNNforAISD @GinaForAustin @JosePGarza @LesliePoolATX

@ALTERforATX Is there more granular info available on where in Austin these Covid-19 cases are? How many hospital beds are designated, how many occupied?

STAY HOME, STAY SAFE. The choices each of us make over the next few weeks are truly a matter of life and death. In my latest newsletter (linked below), I highlight ways we can support one another and the most vulnerable among us. Subscribe at bit.ly/2weZJTS.

@Walmart These trash bags make me happy! Thanks for using recycled plastic and in turn helping to create higher demand for our used #plastic. Now onto better recycling infrastructure to help keep things #circular.

@TheTowerTrinity @TPPF EPA puts costs of inaction at hundreds of billions of dollars per year -water shortages, damaged infrastructure, and polluted air that shortens lives. Costly for business too. What is TPPF's proposed solution? Haven't heard one yet.

Earlier this month, @TPPF hosted a Life:Powered event which discussed the costs and consequences of San Antonio's climate policy. Read about it here: thetower.news/2019/09/20/lif…

@CapMetroATX Thanks for the sweet ride (we’re first-timers) and the thoughtful USB chargers! On our way to #climatestrikeatx

@RoundRockISD @FoodRRISD I noticed compostable cups and bowls this year and I'm glad to see those changes. Let's keep moving in that direction!

@beefyjo Several of the serving items used in our @FoodRRISD cafeterias are compostable. We admire and learn from our neighboring Districts, and there are discussions happening on how we can become more environmentally friendly.

@RoundRockISD I was just told no Westwood feeder schools have recycling the cafeteria. Why is this? If AISD can, why can't we? Do we have a district wide sustainability plan? If not, let's get one.

@KHayhoe @GretaThunberg The SUV-sinning example always reminds me of James 4:17. The verse has haunted me my whole life but also encouraged me towards right action. One thing to use for self and another to apply to another, of course. Thanks for sharing the interview! I'm in the inspired camp.

I don't normally bother to call out liars on twitter but I will here, as they're trying to invent a disagreement to drive a wedge between us. @GretaThunberg is not personally shaming anyone: she is acting according to her principles. What I really said: cbc.ca/radio/thecurre…

@TPPF @ISAACforTexas Extinction rate is currently 1000x worse than natural rate. Natural disasters up in our own country. We are already too late for lives already lost. I voted R until I woke up to the reality of climate crisis and I won't vote R again until R's start taking it seriously.

"Despite the hysterical headlines, the data is clear that mild warming — which even totally eliminating fossil fuels would barely affect—doesn’t justify strangling our economy and quality of life.” @ISAACforTexas #climatechange texaspolicy.com/america-needs-…

“Do you remember the good old days when we had 12 years to save the planet?” the BBC asks. “Now it seems, there's a growing consensus that the next 18 months will be critical in dealing with the global heating crisis, among other environmental challenges." #climatechange

@Domenick_Y @Motor1com I hope they include a PV system option upgrade.
