Vacation of a lifetime, here I come… About a year ago, one of my dear friends put a bold idea on the table: let’s go to the Galapagos Islands in November 2025. My response: a squeal. We depart for this bucket list trip next week. Fear not—there will be a short WER before I go. And as is tradition, this newsletter will take the week of Thanksgiving off to free up your inboxes for Black Friday deals. I promise a full report upon my return.
Hattie Hobart loves to hike… On the “our team” tab on the Nature is Nonpartisan website, each employee is identified by photo, job title, and political ideology, with the latter crossed out and their favorite outdoor activity penciled in.

Happy Friday, readers. We are officially into November, which marks not only the true beginning of the end of the year, but it’s 12 days until I depart for the Galapagos Islands. Have any recommendations? From species to watch out for to something I should pack, my inbox is open!

If I saw a black cat cross my path today, I’d probably try to lure it home and adopt it. I have kittens on the brain, probably because I promised Fang (14 years old) that she could live our her dotage as an only cat. But I have friends who have accidentially found kittens and I can’t believe that in all my decades of being a cat lover, this has never happened to me.
If you’re worried about the EV market in the U.S., this episode is a breath of fresh air!
This weekend, I’m carving out time with friends and maybe a pumpkin or two, but let me tell you, I’m the worst at carving pumpkins. When they were children, my sons quickly eclipsed me in creativity when it comes to pumpkins. I suppose my talents are focused elsewhere.

In October 2015, the team decided to take the daily writings I was posting whenever one of the 17(ish) GOP candidates running to be the Republican nominee for president mentioned climate change and make it a weekly digest.
Climate Week En Review was born.
ICYMI… last week was Florida Climate Week. We are honored that for the 3rd year in a row, we were able to participate in a virtual way. This year, we organized a panel featuring some of the top climate change messengers in the state.
Every day this week, I woke up thinking it was Friday. And every day but today, I was wrong. A long weekend is much-needed, as is the night out of dodge I’m taking in West Virginia with some besties. Before you tune out, tune in to our news of the week.
