Many moons ago, her dad was my dad's financial planner, & a friend of mine was her baby sitter. Now, this lovely PA woman is the Time Person of the Year. I couldn't be happier for this treasure to be recognized for her many talents & the good she does! #PersonOfTheYear2023

We here at CCL-Lancaster are SO proud of the Philly CCL group who affected Amtrak to make the green decision to NOT install gas-fired boilers in the 30th Street Station. WaY tO Go!!! This was a long-term infrastructure win. 💪💚💪 citizensclimatelobby.org/blog/grassroot…

Who knew Blinken plays a left-handed guitar? 🎸

Don't get me wrong -- I adore the color and chemistry of rhodochrosite. However, PEROVSKITE may be the future of batteries and saving our planet from planet-warming gases. So the choice has to be perovskite today. Join me in voting for it! mineralcup.org/2023/campaigns…

Don't you think it is time for our lawmakers to act to fight climate change? We all can do small, helpful things, but real change comes from the top using laws.

Oooooo, boy! Get ready to vote!
