Very impressive frontal band just about to move ashore in SF Bay Area. Quite a lot of convective activity is present, with numerous lightning strikes, briefly torrential downpours, and possibly a burst of very strong (50 to locally 70 mph) wind gusts. Not a typical NorCal frontal passage! #CAwx

For a story, I'm looking for someone who uses a Mill, Lomi, or some other type of countertop food waste processor. Got one? Willing to be interviewed? #compost #foodwaste #methane

“It’s not a mistake that a movement like that happens in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem and doesn’t happen in the Front Range of Colorado or the Greater Salt Lake Area,” said Matthew Kauffman, leader of the Wyoming Migration Initiative. “It happens here because it still can.”

100 years ago today, the nation's first official wilderness area was born, in New Mexico's Gila National Forest. Here's my latest story for @highcountrynews, a summary of years of reporting about the history & future of designated wilderness. Would love it if you gave it a read!

Last week artist Lauren Strohacker projected images of borderlands wildlife harmed by border policies on the wall in Nogales, Ariz. The images capture the beauty and cruelty present in the borderlands. website: laurenstrohacker.org Twitter: @StrohackerArt

@KQEDForum I'm from Chicago and am often mocked for pronouncing it "RUUU-se-velt" and not "ROW-se-velt" -- great show and congrats on the book @SKaskowitz !

BUT one thing that I can get behind is @KALW 's Earth Day annual nature takeover. No sustainability news. No weak-sauce commitments. Just the sound of what we're hurting by pursuing business as usual. Enjoy. 🌿 Here's the lineup: kalw.org/earth-day-2023…

Growing up, I learned to distain the folks who my parents called "Christmas and Easters" because they'd only show up at church on those two days. That's kinda how I feel about Earth Day celebrations (and the torrent of ultimately dumb product/sustainability news surrounding it).
