How many bald eagles do you see? Back in 2011 we moved to the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve 20 miles from Haines, Alaska. A late salmon run brings thousands of eagles in the fall. We put GPS backpacks on them to see where they came from. /1

Waste management will never solve the plastic pollution crisis. It’s time to stop using so much of this toxic material that poisons both people and planet. Judith Enck talks REAL solutions at #SEJ2024 . Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ)

“Every bit of carbon that we don’t burn makes us better off.” —Prof Michael E. Mann #sej2024

Words matter. There’s nothing natural about “natural” gas—mostly all methane—once it’s extracted. Journalists need to think about how their use of the term serves #fossilfuel interests. #SEJ2024

California—which likes to promote itself as a green leader—emits more sulfuryl fluoride, a #climate super-pollutant and highly toxic #pesticide , than the rest of the U.S. combined. Phil McKenna reports (with a little help from me) for Inside Climate News

Unbelievable. First morning in Philly and woke up to learn about a deadly fire in a row home, like it was 40 years ago when I lived in the area. How can there not be government programs to install smoke alarms and upgrade electrical wiring in every home???

“Our society tolerates levels of risk in California’s Central Valley that it would never tolerate in the neighborhoods that ring Central Park. That has everything to do with race and class. And it is completely unacceptable.” Liza Gross insideclimatenews.org/news/27032024/…

Jane van Dis MD 🌎 Inside Climate News Thx Liza Gross for highlighting the poorly regulated petrochemical pollution that makes fossil fuels a triple threat. As if fossil fuel damage from both pollution and the climate crisis isn’t bad enough. 🙁
