My new book on Amazon. I wrote it because my life long friend went on a 3 day road trip and never came back. To try to figure out what happened I use two tools that you can discover: resting heart rate and heart rate variability. These warn us of hidden harms in our environment.

We can learn which way we are looking by noticing the shapes of trees, their roots, and branches - and we can do this on very small journeys close to home. Tristan Gooley wants us to have fun through the art of natural navigation. @NaturalNav

We are not the only living beings that need to move around.
Just look at this greenway and the fence which no wildlife can get through. The planners decided that an environmental impact was not needed. Really it would make you despair.

Thank you for letting us know 💚
Want to help save the whales? Skip eating 🦀🦞- until real impacts are made to keep whales from getting entangled in nets and swallowing them. #whales #wildlife

Thank you for your wetland work 👏
Retweet if you think every day should be #WorldWetlandsDay. Without these ecosystems we would have more drought, less clean water, stronger coastal storm impacts, and biodiversity would be far far less interesting and beautiful.

Nice
A post to mark the passing of legendary #Yellowknife nurse Martha Codner. She held the name and medical history of half of the territory in her head, and the community in her ❤️. When people come to the #ER they are vulnerable; Martha wrapped them in humour, skill and care. RIP
