Read this and feel the spring of hope. People can save people and planet. Grow more, use less chemicals, heal the soil. Hope springs from the ground with every seedling and shoot. Humbled by these folks and their courage to rebuild. www.theguardian.com/environment/... 🌱💚

The US government’s first scientific agency focused on ocean science, and its discoveries were vital in our emergence as an economic superpower. The Trump administration is trying to destroy NOAA, its successor. Learn the history here 🧪🦑🌎🐠 www.southernfriedscience.com/noaa-carries...

Feeling excited - just applied to my local county extension for the Master Gardener training course for 2026. Never too early to learn more. Looking forward to learning new skills and playing it forward. 🌱💚

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/c... I never knew that the common garden fertilizers like Milorganite and Ecoscraps were in fact laden with toxic forever chemicals. This is at a much bigger scale but good to know to avoid these dangerous products. 🌱

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... for the longest time I thought keeping honeybees was a hedge against declining numbers of bees. Wild bees need our help, which can come from planting more: more native flowers and plants to support more bees, period. 🌱💚

I rarely post politics here but today I’m dismayed and frightened to see liars and potential Russian assets confirmed by the GOP against the wellbeing and security of Americans. RFK Jr is a crank. Tulsi Gabbard whitewashed Assad’s genocide against his own people. Kash Patel?!This is not America.

www.cnn.com/science/ligh... Light pollution is getting worse, but there is a movement to make our skies dark again. I love this. Save energy, save wildlife. Let the night be the night again. Nothing better than gazing up into a sky filled with bright stars.

"All over the world, fertile land is gradually becoming dry, barren and unable to support plants, animals, or people... ...This is no joke. So why isn’t it the top story on the news every night? Because soil isn’t sexy... ...Soil underpins all life on earth." Maeve Campbell @forbes.com #regenag

Just received this. My pile of books on the go is mounting. If you care about nature, ecowebs or just want to see more life in your garden, start with any of these. Inspiring, joyful and practical. We can heal the world. 🌱

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/o... New year same as old year: Doubling down on renewables, native plants, reforestation efforts in Charlotte and rain harvesting with rain barrels. Every little helps. Denying climate change is a fool’s game.

Thankfully, the @sabincenter.bsky.social at @columbiaclimate.bsky.social is tracking all the ways the Trump Administration is rolling back US climate efforts. These actions affect the whole world.

A new report found that federally owned or managed reservoirs could hold enough floating solar to produce enough clean electricity to power about 100 million homes each year:

Diving into this gem. Have been increasingly fascinated - and alarmed - by declining insect and birds in our everyday life and there’s an easy solution. More natives = more bees, butterflies, birds and joy. Gardeners can save the world. Literally. 🌱
