"Green schoolyards can significantly lower temperatures compared to asphalt surfaces, combating extreme heat... Standing in the shade of a tree, for example, can reduce the physiological strain of heat on the body by up to 70 degrees." Vote for kids health and wellness.
OPINION: "The upcoming election presents an opportunity to implement a proven and cost-effective solution to minimize heat exposure at schools," writes Guillermo Rodriguez, California state director at the Trust for Public Land. trib.al/ZVEkrqS

Increasing threats from a changing climate put our health, lives, & livelihoods at risk. 🔥🌊🤯 Wildfires and the toxic smoke in our air. A boom and bust water cycle with more frequent drought and flooding. The threat of rising seas on our communities and basic infrastructure.

“It feels like we’re on vacation,” that sentiment about a new park in San Francisco's long neglected Bayview community fuels why I love working on projects that close the #ParkEquity gap. 🙏@SamWhitingSF

As we wrap up #LatinoHeritageMonth, we're reflecting on the importance of expanding access to the outdoors for all Californians, regardless of zip code. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of our state's natural resources. #OutdoorsForAll
Excellent overview of water needs in California, and how voting yes on #Prop4 is critical for our water supplies.
Does California stand a chance of preserving our precious groundwater? @YesOnProp4CA

CDC is investigating the Tijuana River in California. I studied this area in my masters research with @LuskinCenter and learned about the ecology, communities and impacts. Great reporting bringing attention to this special place by @bokchoy_baobei at @latimes
Is sewage flowing from Mexico into the U.S. via the Tijuana River a public health menace, or just a nuisance? San Diego County officials aren't too worried, even as Imperial Beach residents say they're getting sick: latimes.com/environment/stor… via @bokchoy_baobei

This is what cutting red tape looks like! Thank you @GavinNewsom for signing SB1091 which will eliminate a significant barrier to greening schoolyards across the state. Thanks to @SenatorMenjivar for authoring the bill & @livingschoolyrd for their incredible partnership.
