We had a great meeting with ultra-runner and environmentalist Matt Flaherty in Indiana during our road trip. Matt is one of our #monarchambassadors for the project! #RunningForMonarchs

“We have to understand the emergency of the situation. Our leadership has failed us. Young people must hold older generations accountable for the mess they have created. We need to get angry, and transform that anger into action.” - Greta Thunberg

I'm super excited about this crew of ultrarunners, film makers, and conservationists making an epic 4,300km journey across North America in parallel w/ the incredible Monarch butterfly migration. I've got a 100k leg in Indiana! Want to join? Details here: raceroster.com/events/2019/22…

Our incoming City Relations Committee for IU Student Government is ready to work hard to ensure students have protected bike lanes on and around campus. #BikeSafety

This perception poses a significant hurdle to #ClimateAction as people who think others don't accept global warming are less likely to talk about it and take action themselves. See this Yale Program on Climate Change Communication chart:

The #JustClimateFuture platform outlines the goals of a new national climate agenda that fuses economic, racial & environmental justice into a single advocacy framework. ajustclimate.org

To get safer streets, "simply dropping speed limits isn’t the answer; street design itself—not enforcement or signage—is the most powerful governor of driver behavior." citylab.com/transportation…

Hey #Bloomington #Indiana folks, drop Safe Lanes a line to say we want this in #Btown. safelanes.org/cities "The more people who request your city the more momentum we'll have to bring safer cycling infrastructure to those who need it most so tell your friends!"

"As the concentration of people rises, #GHGemissions decline precipitously: for every doubling of density, emissions per household drop by almost half from transportation and by more than a third from home energy use." Sightline Institute sightline.org/2019/08/12/wha…

I've been working on various #energyefficiency policy issues all summer at NRDC 🌎🏡, which fits quite well w/ the #energyjustice work our research team at @IUONeillSchool is pursuing. Here's a blog I wrote on global #buildingdecarbonization efforts. nrdc.org/experts/merria…

"Our poorest citizens are subsidizing the wealthiest when it comes to transportation." "Free parking... everyone pays for it, but you must have enough money to own a car in order to qualify for it." medium.com/@parkingnerd/w…

Awesome SalomonTV episode w/ Courtney Dauwalter, recent #UTMB champ! I still remember interviewing her for the Quick & Dirty column I used to write, way back when she was just getting started with this ultra thing. 😄 tv.salomon.com/story/the-ultr…

On "paint & pray” bike policy: paint lanes & pray no one gets hurt. *Maybe* sufficient if we had all of the below. We have none. cc: City of Bloomington, IN IU Bloomington We need #safestreets for vulnerable users, pedestrians very much included. #VisionZero theintercept.com/2019/09/22/new…

Great short film from Billy Yang tracking Anton Krupicka's return to the #Leadville100 15 yrs after his first win. Terrific storytelling/cinematography; fun to relive the day through Tony's perspective. One of my fav races I've had the pleasure of running! youtube.com/watch?v=FnBzaq…

8 weeks ago I headed out of Leadville, CO (elevation 10,151'), pre-dawn, with a few hundred other folks hoping to run 50 miles into the mountains and another 50 back. 1st time, good day, 2nd place. Chatted about it w/ @gunksrunner on the #PainCave podcast: gunksrunner.com/paincave/2021/…
