It’s been thrilling to see so many forests open this year. Yosemite Gateway is going to be one of our most beautiful!
Today we opened our latest forest — Better Place Forests Yosemite Gateway! Located just outside of Yosemite National Park, we’re thrilled to conserve this famous section of California forestland. https://t.co/TSAOUU9XmR

Great chatting with @MikeGelb!
1/ 🔥 New @ConsumerVC 🎙I spoke with @sandygibson CEO of @bpf_community Better Place Forests is America's first conservation memorial forests. Instead of graves and tombstones, families choose a private, protected family tree to return their ashes to the earth together.

One thing I still just don't get. Where's the sense of urgency around making millions of tests available (both viral and antibody) every day in the U.S.? Maybe it's there and I don't see it, but the future of the pandemic AND our economy depend on it.

The fact that hundreds of millions of people have been spared the agony of losing a child - or of dying themselves as children - is surely the single greatest humanitarian achievement of our species. https://t.co/5mKb0mEC01

If you're feeling grim about the world, here's my effort to put the bad news (which is real) in context: Overall 2019 was probably the best year in human history. Here's why: https://t.co/DpIfNKKHV0

Thanks for the great interview @jolingkent!
The wildfires ravaging the Amazon rainforest have grabbed the world’s attention, but deforestation is also a concern in the U.S. Better Place Forests makes conservation efforts of its own, creating a final resting place within the forests. @JoLingKent has the story. #InDepthTODAY

Asked 7 yo how many Star Wars characters he could name. He named 59. Measured by space occupied in his brain, Star Wars is his Greek myths.

I know people are going to unfollow me if I keep talking about death but this article is FASCINATING - @betterplaceusa is buying up land to allow you to bury loved ones’ ashes under a California Redwood. Would TOTALLY do this vs. a stuffy mausoleum:
fastcompany.com
This startup raised $12 million to redesign the cemetery—as part of a redwood forest. Prices for a single tree can soar to $36,000.

Thanks @NellieBowles for the beautiful writeup this week! I'm thrilled you loved our walk through the woods:
nytimes.com
A California start-up wants to “redesign the entire end-of-life experience.” The answer to “eternity management”? Forests.
