Happy birthday to Her Deepness, Sylvia A. Earle! She helped inspire me to get back to advocacy based on science & love for what we want to protect. And reminded me that no matter how hard things get, if you surround yourself with a team of amazing women, you can change the world!


Let’s get this done Gavin Newsom Governor Gavin Newsom! Getting rid of plastic bags at check out is a common sense solution to help reduce plastic production and pollution. #EndPlasticPollution

Climate change is the biggest threat our ocean faces. ⚠️ We see its alarming effects on ocean ecosystems & coastal communities daily. Let's change course + move AWAY from harmful offshore oil + gas to responsible, rapid + just ocean-based solutions. 🌎 oceanconservancy.org/climate/clean-…



Exciting news: I filmed an episode of #EnergySwitch on PBS and it’s going live TOMORROW! We talked about how plastics are driving the climate crisis and broke down myths about chemical recycling. Stay tuned for more details - you won’t want to miss it! Switch Energy Alliance Ocean Conservancy


Grateful for the opportunity to be featured on PBS’ #EnergySwitch, out today! Come to learn about ocean plastic pollution, stay for a heated (pun intended) discussion about chemical recycling and the need for real solutions. Switch Energy Alliance Ocean Conservancy

Last week I spoke with Plastics News about how plastic foam producers are using misleading claims about recyclability when we know how harmful plastic foam is to the ocean and environment. We need to ban this problematic plastic. plasticsnews.com/news/eps-indus…





CA leadership in tackling #plasticpollution is more important now than ever - can’t think of a better way to celebrate that leadership than adopting regulations to implement SB 54, the strongest plastics law in the world!

California’s draft regulations fall short of SB 54’s promise. Weak implementation risks undermining real progress on plastic pollution. We must do better—for our ocean and our communities.
