Green is a mission@greenisamission.bsky.social

Reminder: Forests are the natural hospitals for body and soul. You go in, no one asks you, no one gives you appointments for examinations, etc. You get what you need, and you feel better, and you are also delighted by the splendor and beauty. We need more forests worldwide.💚🌳🌲

A pastel done in my garden. On the left is a statue made from pieces of driftwood on an iron rod with a rusty metal base. On the right is a plastic dragon on the bough of a crab apple tree. It has been tied on there for decades, gradually disintegrating.

There’s no such thing as a green car. What you’re thinking of is a less bad car that we’re at risk of having more of, and driving more, because we’ve been convinced it’s a green car. Again, see the thread.

THREAD: I’m going to share this thread here to clearly state my perspective on electric vehicles, car dependency and better cities, for all those who frequently ask me about it, including media, elected leaders and many others. Here goes. Please share it frequently if you think it will help. 🧵#EVS

When given a level playing field, our farmers produce the most abundant food supply in the world. They shouldn’t be locked out of markets and thrust into chaos because the President decided to tweet.

It's been awhile since I've shared a picture. I took this one on my phone yesterday morning of Tahoma (aka Mt Rainier) with Little Tahoma on the left from Bothell, Washington. 66 miles away, as the crow flies.

How grotesque. The Republican reconciliation bill cuts nutrition programs for hungry kids in order to give tax breaks to billionaires. Good luck to my Republican colleagues in explaining the morality of that to their constituents.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Here's a cool thing I just learned today. 🤓 Thanks, Alex!

A couple years ago, I captured a pretty cool phenomenon that I didn't even know existed until I did some digging afterward. This here is an "above anvil cirrus plume." Explanation, with a comparison to a simulation below! 👇
