“Wildness stands ready to move right in as soon as we get out of the way." @NYTimes

Prisons are harmful for the environment. What would a world look like without them? @molly_lipson for @AtmosMag

@NewYorker just released its special issue on the #bottlenecks of the #ClimateCrisis. So far featuring @readerer, @billmckibben & @ByDanielAGross. Soon, @Pagankennedy, @dwbwriter, and yours truly. #EarthDayEveryDay @sejorg #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency https://t.co/EtQw4K48Rn

We're so excited for this virtual event tomorrow hosted by @pewresearch - young Americans from a variety of religious backgrounds will discuss how their religious commitments mesh with activism, hopes, and stories on environmental issues. Register here:

“The boom has done a lot of damage. Traditions are being lost in communities.” Can cooperatives help save mezcal's ancestral roots, and agave's genetic diversity? RESP fellow @AnneliseJolley explores this in @CivilEats

This week we are reading this Q&A in @highcountrynews with the Indigenous Land Alliance of Wyoming’s Yufna Soldier Wolf. Interesting conversation on the Red Desert, co-stewardship, and co-land management.

This is an engaging story on the relationship between domesticated dogs, their human owners, and wild animals in @hakaimagazine - what responsibility do dog owners have to protect shorebirds? @ben_a_goldfarb

This week, I'll be in snowy Boise for this year's #sej2023 confrence. I'll be speaking and moderating panels for the first time in my career as a journalist. Be on the look out for posts about the conference throughout the week!

#Dirt, an often overlooked aspect of environmental protection, is falling victim to human consumption. @Ruth_HHopkins for @AtmosMag

A beautiful anthology of poems, quotations, and essays by @katieholten receives a glowing review by @kristenmillares in @WashingtonPost: "'The Language of Trees' is a call to action for those who still care."

RESP fellow @kategammon wrote about the rebirth of Lake Tulare, also known as one of the "great dramas of California." What does this resurrection mean for surrounding communities?

Radical environmentalism has begun to influence mainstream fiction. But could these fictional events become reality? @Grist @katemyoder https://t.co/IZGCJWVygD

"The media’s job, in this moment, is not to raise alarms...It is to document the ongoing mutilation of our planet, and to push citizens, politicians, and corporations to stanch the carnage." Is the age of climate optimism upon us? @KPaoletta @Harpers

A piece about the struggle to produce mezcal sustainably in communities in Mexico - an issue that is not helped by the demand from over the border. Words by RESP fellow @AnneliseJolley in @AtmosMag

#Landslide damage to roads, infrastucture and buildings costs up to $20 million a year. Without insurance, how will people pay for it? Illustrative story by RESP fellow Martha Park in @BitterSouth

By RESP's own, @kategammon, a story in @Guardian about a once-in-a-generation "mushroom boom," in CA.

"To make progress on climate you need more than policy and science — you need a commitment to human life and all the life on the planet." @columbiamag https://t.co/RVbAn177Tm

What is #wastecolonialism? In this @Grist article, @josephbwinters breaks down the promotion of recycling as a cure-all to the plastic waste crisis.
