The Petworth location of the DC Tool library (cool project where you can borrow construction tools/gardening tools/cooking tools/etc) says someone stole $11,000 worth of their tools :( They've got a fundraiser here if you're inclined to help!

What happens when you turn your boring row house roof into something beneficial that adds beauty, saves money & helps the environment? Petworth resident Annette Olson installed a "green roof" at her house 10 years ago & has enjoyed the benefits ever since.

We cannot ignore or be indifferent to the climate crisis. As Scientist & Professor @MichaelEMann points out, climate inaction is at our own peril. #DontLookUp

Climate-minded historians are writing papers often with natural scientists who are accustomed to co-authorship. Group approaches are necessary because the studies require interpolating from both historical documents and scientific measurements.

Confirmation from @JoeBiden's policy director that Biden remains committed to ending U.S. fossil fuel subsidies. It is part of the climate plan he has already released:
.@JoeBiden continues to be committed to ending U.S. fossil fuel subsidies & then rallying the rest of the world to do the same—as was outlined in his climate plan last year. Here at home, he'll use those dollars to instead invest in a clean energy future and create union jobs.

13 years ago, I emailed Dr. Fauci out of the blue to ask if I might interview him for my undergrad thesis. He invited me to his office, where he answered all my questions. When I sent him the thesis, HE READ THE WHOLE THING (see his overly effusive review below). Who does that?!

US—EPA estimates that Americans generate 25% more waste from Thanksgiving to the New Year compared to the rest of the year—that's an extra 1 million tons per week
But most of it is recyclable, right?
Not really.
