Confused by recycling? Wondering why the symbol doesn't seem to make sense anymore? I spent half a year researching what happened. I found that corporations sold Americans on the chasing arrows — while stripping the logo of its meaning. grist.org/culture/recycl…

The English language was once full of stories with “blossoms,” “rivers,” and “moss.” But these words are disappearing from our vocabularies — and along with them, our connection to the natural world they describe. @katemyoder reports via @grist: buff.ly/7CyOPJy

Exciting coverage of @ACC_National in Grist today. My one environmental critique for conservatives? We should be MORE bullish. Our solutions work, and they don’t sacrifice human flourishing at the altar of climate action.

incredibly disappointed this story didn’t cover the valid, longstanding criticisms of the breakthrough institute or guys like tremblath and nordhaus in greater depth. huge missed opportunity and detrimental to the good-faith activists and researchers the group routinely attacks

A year ago, climate scientist @PatrickTBrown31 criticized his own wildfire study in Nature, causing an uproar. I kept wondering why he did it. I spent the summer talking to Patrick and those who know him, reviewing private emails, to get the inside scoop grist.org/science/patric…

Spoke w/Shelby Ketchum, IRA specialist at Seattle City Light (left in photo). He told me there’s an EV charger *on top of a telephone pole* in downtown Seattle (15th st in Capitol Hill) and it drops down for users. Need to find this. @climate @bloomberglive #BGGreenFestival
