In the words of Jane Goodall: “Don’t lose hope… if you lose hope, you become apathetic and do nothing.”
We’re part of the natural world, and even in dark times, there’s still something worth fighting for.
Choose action over apathy. Hope over fear.

You can redact files, but you can’t redact nature.
The Trump administration has exempted oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from the Endangered Species Act. This could push the rare Rice’s whale, a species with only about 50 individuals left, closer to extinction.

Research shows women often express greater support environmental solutions at higher rates. Yet they remain underrepresented where many environmental decisions are made.
When half the world’s perspectives are missing, our ability to solve complex challenges is weakened.

“Clean, beautiful coal.”
If it were truly cheap, reliable, and secure, it wouldn’t need federal mandates, emergency powers, and taxpayer bailouts to survive.
Next up, typewriters at the Pentagon to battle cybersecurity?
Coal belongs in a museum.
Not in our air.
Trump's executive order directing the Dept of Defense to purchase electricity from aging, toxic, inefficient coal-fired power plants and gift millions of taxpayer dollars to five coal plants is a waste of money and ignores basic economics.
