I visited Woodland Park in Houston today - the city’s second oldest park (formerly called Highland Park) with perhaps its wildest history.

Houston's most complained about issue in 2025 was... 🥁🥁🥁 missed garbage pickup.
It beat out water leaks (which notched no. 1 for the last six years) as the most called about issue to the city's 311 line. Notably, recycling complaints are up 54%. houstonchronicle.com/politic…

The second largest source of microplastics comes from spills from plastics manufacturing, of which Texas leads the nation. We need to stop these spills, @GregAbbott_TX!
#Microplastics are increasingly detected in human tissues, with potential links to cognitive, cardiovascular, and inflammatory outcomes.

“Untold quantities of plastic nurdles and other pollutants are being discharged to receiving waters and lands surrounding” Dow’s Seadrift petrochemical complex. Bravo to Diane, but where’s @TCEQ? It’s not just Dow, it’s “happening up and down the coast” and even in inland waterways. Gov @GregAbbott_TX, please direct TCEQ to stop this pollution hurting our coast, wildlife, seafood and more.

Did you know that the Kemp’s ridley sea turtle is the smallest sea turtle in the world? 🐢
Known for their triangular-shaped heads and hooked beaks, you might find one of these adorable turtles crawling along a Texas beach (if you’re lucky).

Great exhibit at @TXStateAquarium on plastic pellet pollution. It concludes that state regulators need to adopt stronger standards on industry. @TCEQ

Almost half of Austin residents live in apartments, but until recently, our City composting services weren't accessible to everyone.
As one of the only renters on City Council, I helped make sure composting is available no matter where you live. (1/2)
