Busy day today. Here's my piece on the lawsuit filed by @OregonWild, @cascwild and @WilRiverkeeper to halt a 4,600 acre @BLMOregon timber project outside Eugene. Story: tinyurl.com/dsrc9n6x

Activists from across the South are at the White House asking the Biden Administration to end public subsidies for #woodpellet manufacturing. They say the industry, which fuels electricity plants in Europe and Asia, is not carbon neutral and hurts communities of color.

How gas utilities used tobacco tactics to avoid gas stove regulations. My latest for @NPR with editor @neelaeast and documents/research from @rebecca_John1 at CIC.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, the world celebrates our cultures. But what they don’t see is the ongoing fight to protect and revitalize our cultures, languages, and traditional lifeways.
We fight for regenerative systems that reflect our worldviews and an #IndigenousJustTransition!

BREAKING: Hundreds rally to protest Wall St forestry and the "Who Will Own the Forest Rally".
We need to protect carbon rich forests, defend Indigenous sovereignty, and advocate for real solutions to the climate crisis, not BS carbon markets.

Wall St grows profits, not forests. Come Weds 9/27 to oppose the Who Will Own the Forest? conference + tell Wall St investors our forests are > their profits. Join #ForestsOverProfits conference 9/28 to learn about real solutions + alternatives to profit-driven forestry.

Ok, so here's the deal. "Natural" gas is actually #methane and methane inevitably leaks. So there is no possibly way to "certify" that gas is "responsibly sourced"!

We lost a beautiful friend, human, and defender of this earth a few weeks ago.

These wood pellet factories create huge amounts of dust and debris that cause respiratory illnesses in local communities of color. Help stop the forest biomass industry: on.nrdc.org/3ohD5W5

🧵PWU found out this week that layoff notices were sent to a major part of @SierraClub's Human Resources Investigations Team and the entire Equity Department. These teams were undergoing review of many internal investigations of toxic behavior. 1/

We have a #LightsOut alert for tonight through Saturday! Approx. 7 to 8.1 million birds will migrate through Oregon's night skies during this time period.
Please help keep birds safe as they migrate by turning off any unnecessary outdoor lighting and drawing your blinds.
ALT A graphic of the state of Oregon that shows just a little over half of the western part of the state as red, indicating high numbers of birds (7 million) passing through on the night of Thursday, April 27. Just below the graphic are two more of the state of Oregon colored completely in red, depicting the high numbers of birds (8.1 million and 7.5 million) that'll be migrating on the night of Friday, April 28 and Saturday, April 29

BREAKING: Georgia police shot "Cop City" protestor Manuel Terán 57 times in the first state killing of a climate activist in the US. Official autopsy also shows Terán did not fire a gun which obliterates the police narrative.
Evidence Terán was executed is overwhelming.

In a time when the habitability of planet hangs in the balance, I’m disappointed that a panel of the 9th Circuit endorsed such a radical theory. I intend to ask our City Attorney to continue fighting, including asking for a rehearing en banc. Statement:

Great news! Thanks to @POTUS, @SecDebHaaland, and @BLMNational for taking a major step forward toward lasting protections for mature and old-growth #climateforests. Now it's up to the @USDA @forestservice to follow. #LetThemGrow #SavePublicForests
Thank you @SecDebHaaland @BLMNational and @Interior for taking this first important step towards a new, strong conservation rule. Please ensure our mature and old-growth #ClimateForests remain standing to fight #ClimateChange for future generations. oregonwild.org/about/press/d…

Your action is needed! The voices of the Oregon people are under threat with a new proposed bill. Take action today: tinyurl.com/4fkdnc42
TAKE ACTION for #WildlifeWednesday!
It is the Fish & Wildlife Commission’s job to represent public interest. A bill before the legislature would potentially increase land and industry representation and decrease the voice of the public at-large. ACT NOW: tinyurl.com/4fkdnc42

Hey, @potus, @flotus, @usfws, @SecDebHaaland if you care about climate, protecting or expanding the populations of nine key groups of animals, including wolves and whales, would remove huge amounts of carbon from the atmosphere: 🐺🐻🐳newscientist.com/article/236…

The gas company @nwnatural also recently admitted to paying protestors to come to a @cityofeugene hearing on electrification last fall. grist.org/accountability/a-g…
Gas utility @nwnatural has poured another $275,000 into the signature-gathering effort aimed at overturning Eugene's new natural gas ordinance, for a total of $949,000 so far. The utility remains the only funder to date. Background here: #orpol klcc.org/politics-government…
