Removing harmful and obsolete #dams helps can help communities better weather a changing climate and reduce GHG emissions. My latest for @commondreams.org #undammed #climatechange #cop30 @islandpress.bsky.social
The United States has been leading the global charge on dam removals. In just the last 25 years nearly 2,000 dams have been blasted and backhoed from our rivers and streams, writes @taralohan.bsky.social.

Despite abdication on the federal level, local climate work continues in the U.S. One of the most overlooked accomplishments worth cheering: the removal of harmful and obsolete dams.
