Climate Week En Review: Skating into the holiday season
Are you in the holiday spirit yet?
I’m making a list (of cookies to bake) and checking it twice (for ingredients I need) plus I put up the tree and wrapped an empty (open) box for my cat Fang to hang out in under the tree (her favorite spot). The weather is appropriately cold. So turn up the holiday music, put on the ugly sweater, and let’s revel.
The EcoRight Speaks revisits Rewiring America…
As we head toward the finish line for season 11, we are again sharing a previous recording with a TIME100 climate influencer, this time, our February 2025 conversation with Ari Matusiak. Like last...
An EcoRight Speaks reboot: Our 2024 conversation with Benji Backer
In late October, TIME Magazine released its list of the 100 most influential climate actors across five different categories: leaders, innovators, titans, defenders, and catalysts. And we are proud that four of those honored have been past guests on the show.
Climate Week En Review: Back from paradise
I’m back from the Galapagos… but I’m having a hard time being happy about it. Re-entry into the “real world” has me reeling, literally. The first few nights home, I felt like I was still on the sea, swaying with the waves. Cars. People. Technology. PHONES. I didn’t realize how much stimulation there is in our daily lives until I was without it for a week. This adventure really touched me in so many ways that I’m still processing and will continue to process.
Climate Week En Review: Happy Early Thanksgiving
We will keep this short as we know chaotic airport lines, pumpkin pies, and turkey prep await you. And I’m swimming with sea turtles! (Not really, but maybe seeing some while snorkeling…)
Climate Week En Review: Almost On Island Time
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.
The EcoRight Speaks hears from Hattie Hobart how nature is, indeed, bipartisan
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. I think this is a clever way to make their point: nature knows no political party.
Climate Week En Review: Star Light, Star Bright
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!
The EcoRight Speaks sparks a conversation about fusion
Perhaps you’ve heard mention of fusion in the news laterly but didn’t really understand what it is, what potential it offers, and how far off it is from being widespread adoption. If that describes you then you will want to tune into this week’s episode featuring Andrew Holland, the founding CEO of the Fusion Industry Association. Andrew is a long-time expert on clean energy, especially as it pertains to climate change and national security and he’s here to break down all your (i.e. my) questions about fusion energy.
Climate Week En Review: Boo!
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.
The EcoRight Speaks explores the state of the EV market…
If you’re worried about the EV market in the U.S., this episode is a breath of fresh air!
