March… comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb, am I right? As we march toward spring, a time of renewal, renew your commitment to the EcoRight community. Write an LTE or op-ed. Share the EcoRight Speaks with a friend (the first episode of the new season is linked below). Invite Bob to speak at one of your events (virtually or in person). There are so many ways to show up!
Welcome to SEASON EIGHT of the EcoRight Speaks. Kicking things off for us is
Nathan Crabbe, editor of The Invading Sea, a website featuring news, commentary and educational content about climate change and other environmental issues affecting Florida.
Hello, readers! I hope this weekly newsletter finds you well! We had a great week with a fantastic webinar, some key messengers in print, and overall a positive vibe! Read on!
Happy Three-Day Weekend Eve! I know I always say this (except in January) but time is flying! Monday is Presidents Day (shout out to George and Abe) and March is just a few weeks away. My daffodils are popping up despite the chilly temps, eager to show off their blooms.
Hello and TGIF! By the way, remember that 497-day January we just had? Turns out it was the hottest January on record. Also, hot? This weekend’s Super Bowl. Speaking of, what are your favorite football snacks? I’m entertaining and need fresh ideas!
My week took a turn for the unexpected with a positive covid test on Sunday after not feeling well for a few days (but having four negative tests before I woke up with a high fever and 2 lines on the test strip). Both brain and body are moving slowly still but I’m here, keeping an eye on all things EcoRight. And keeping an eye on that evil groundhog!

A little rough. Either over or undercooked. Do not recommend. But the good news is that it’s almost over. As we move into the year, we move deeper into the work.
Rain? Snow? Freezing temps? Welcome to winter and I love it. Snow, actual snow, blanketed the DC area earlier this week and again this morning, which made my Maine heart happy.
We are back and looking forward to a great year ahead. More podcast episodes (season eight drop date TBD but you won’t have to wait too long) and more on-the-road events with our executive director, Bob Inglis. What might Congress do on carbon tariffs? How will the election influence climate discourse? Will 2024 be even warmer than 2023, the hottest year on record? Buckle up for an interesting year ahead.
Highlights of 2023 If you know us, you know we love a look-back, so here is a glimpse of our collective highlights on the year. Some of them were self-driven accomplishments. Some occurred...

And just like that, December is practically over. My birthday is Sunday and the rest of the year will zoom by probably before the cake is gone. Programming note: this is the last *regular* Week En...
