Hello, Friday. Hello, last day of February.
I plan to get into my backyard this week and do some clearing out. The daffodils are poking up and early spring blooms are ready to be uncovered. Hope you get outside this weekend, too.
Welcome to episode 3 of the EcoRight Speaks, featuring Ari Matusiak, co-founder, president and CEO of Rewiring America. He is also the founder and co-chair of Power Forward Communities, a national coalition awarded $2 billion from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund to decarbonize and reinvest in American households. He was founding partner of, and is currently a senior advisor to, PVG, a fast-growing consulting firm committed to driving climate solutions that also deliver real economic value at scale.
Happy Friday! At the time of writing, I’m looking out my window at the foggy sky. There is something about low hanging fog that makes me feel peaceful. I’m leaning into the peace for now. And hope you are, too.
Today’s guest comes to us via a listener request. Journalist Mike Conley is the co-author (with Tim Maloney) of the book Earth is a Nuclear Planet.
Hey, the cupid tells me that today is a special day. Will you be our EcoRight valentine? Send a shout out (think of it as a love letter) to a lawmaker doing good things on climate change and/or to a member of your community whom you admire.
The drought is over! The EcoRight Speaks is BACK and we are hoping for the best season ever. We’ve been busy plotting out this landmark season and thank you for your patience.
Hello… Now that 2025 appears to be in full swing, a number of events are starting to pop up on the calendar. Looking to meet some other EcoRighters? Read on and hopefully one of the many opportunities we highlight will work for you and your schedule.
Hello from deep in my sourdough era, with my third trial loaf currently in its rather long rising period. What am I doing wrong? Is my house too cold? (Probably.) Am I overkneading? (Unlikely.) If you have a foolproof recipe that doesn’t require singing the dough to sleep, please send it along.

Baby, it’s cold outside… and I love it. (Definitely helps justify the number of cute winter hats I’ve collected over the years.)
I have missed traditional winter, so even though a polar vortex embracing most of the U.S. is not normal, I’m not sad about temps in the teens and single digits. I was made for this weather.
Hello and welcome back. I hope that “circle back in January” season is treating you well. We continue to gather momentum for the year ahead.
Happy New Year!
I hope folks are entering January feeling rested and ready to take on a new year of EcoRight work.
