Fascinating @dwallacewells piece thinking through the climatic and political implications of the coming El Niño.
Did you know that American climate concern is higher now than it was during the Biden administration?

Our food is growing less nutritious. Many of humanity’s most important crops — including wheat, potatoes, beans — contain fewer vitamins and minerals than they did a generation ago.
The culprit behind this damaging phenomenon? Carbon dioxide pollution. wapo.st/4eT0YuU

Light pollution harms wildlife 🐦
It disrupts birds, insects, and nocturnal animals—and impacts ecosystems across the Chesapeake.
Protect the night. Protect creation.

We’ve been working in MD to electrify our congregations & homes & shift to clean energy. We need all the help we can get, especially as federal incentives have been taken away, & the EmPOWER program makes all the difference. HB 1532, the Utility RELIEF Act, may put it at risk.

🚨🚨🚨 Solar panels do so much good for our congregations and communities, and the Affordable Solar Act would make that more possible. But now, some House leaders aren’t sure anymore that there’s enough support to move this bill this session.

We need your help. Please join us in speaking out against HB 1532, the Utility RELIEF Act -- which delegates plan to vote on Tuesday! -- which would drastically cut funding for EmPOWER Maryland, a key program that helps us undertake energy upgrades in our congregations and homes.
