Visiting the Indigenous Village at #COP15. Indigenous communities are some of the most impacted & harmed from deforestation, and they are some of the most vocal biodiversity activists.

Tragedy unfolding on Keystone Pipeline near the Nebraska/Kansas border. What TC Energy will not admit is that they cannot “clean” this up. They will scrape the vegetation and topsoil, treat it, and haul to a landfill. Riparian (stream) damage for decade+.

Grateful to live in LA, where the danger of gas stoves is not up for debate! With a motion from our office, gas hookups are no longer allowed in new buildings. The next step is helping people in older homes and buildings — in particular low-income families — replace theirs.

Following the major downpour, LADWP estimates that cumulative stormwater capture has swelled to about 10.6B gallons —enough water to serve 139,000 households for a year or equivalent to filling 16,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. ow.ly/KgX350MonNQ
