You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local. Transport emissions are very small for most food products.

“We need to pay for the nature we use.” Succinct message. Genius delivery. Just what the doctor ordered.
What if the way we think about economic success is all wrong? nyti.ms/3TRirYd

A third of the way through the 'decisive decade' and we're a long way from where we need to be. Our current narrative isn't going to see us through this - it's time for a new (true) story of empowerment and possibility. My article in @ProSyn: project-syndicate.org/magazi…

In fall of 2024 GEDI will be back at its original location and again collecting data, potentially through 2030, starting a new epoch of ecosystem structure observations. Congratulations to the entire GEDI team for an amazing first chapter and looking forward to the next! 🚀🌟

And… that's a wrap on 2022! Another year of mapping, coding, and studying #soils, #phenology, #biodiversity, #seeddispersal, #restoration, #resilience & more is over. Thanks for your interest in our #ecology lab. Looking forward to sharing more cool #science with you in 2023!

Decarbonising the world economy within the Paris climate range will require <5% of GDP in investment. Solving world food crisis will cost a few % of global GDP. At the same time we put 6-7 % of global GDP in fossil fuel subsidies. Unacceptable. Shows we can afford a bright future
