We don’t want it. It’s unnecessary. If it helps in the medical field, good. But all I see is people using it in so many unnecessary ways, like it’s fun.

Bumblebees are very busy collecting pollen this time of year - in those little pollen baskets - to keep the queen bumblebee fed throughout the winter. #buzzpollinator #nature #wildlife #bumblebees

This painting is my little tribute to one of Rawson Pond’s residents - a great blue heron - and to all those wonderfully wild moments that make Rawson Pond so special. 16”x20” oil on canvas. #heron #greatblueheron #wildlifepainting #birdart

Seems like I’m writing to my representatives daily. Are you?! The overreach into our national parks, national monuments, memorials and more at the whim of one person is unacceptable. End the unilateral abuse of national public spaces. @whitehouse.senate.gov @shiff.senate.gov @joeneguse.bsky.social

Thomas Cole House Museum. “Yet I cannot but express my sorrow that the beauty of such landscapes are quickly passing away–the ravages of the axe are daily increasing–the most noble scenes are made desolate, and oftentimes with a wantonness and barbarism scarcely credible in a civilized nation.

Congress has a serious case of constipation. OUR national parks, forests, wildlife need an immediate movement from Congress. It’s time for a big dose of bipartisan fiber AND a lot of backbone before wildlife runs out of habitat and OUR National Parks perish waiting for Congress to get moving. #move

Get a TRO and fiercely fight to reverse rollbacks on environmental and wildlife protections! One person should have the only say on what happens to our forests, species, planet.

Mainstream media isn’t talking about it, but bulldozers and construction crews have descended upon Texas’ Big Bend National Park as the Trump administration moves forward with its border barrier project. The project will permanently damage one of our nation’s greatest natural treasures.

As a City Council Member, I was proud to be the prime sponsor of the legislation that required New York City to create a comprehensive urban forest plan, because we cannot tackle extreme heat and climate change without dramatically expanding our tree canopy. gothamist.com/news/new-nyc...

New NYC tree plan shines light on need for more shade
The benefits of trees go beyond cool shade, city officials say.

So sorry Utah. Hopefully this sends a message to so called Mr. Wonderful, and all those sneakingly in support, that a data center CANNOT be developed. Do something more philanthropic with your money.

Just redo the reflecting pool into a nature habitat. The water is attractive to wildlife but not supportive of it. Contaminated water drains into nearby water sources. Nice idea but not so nice for expensive maintenance, etc. This continent needs more thoughtful designations of natural resources.
