A timeline cleanser: My recent newsletter is about rise of "repair cafes" around the world, where communities come together to fix each other's beloved things. The goal: reduce consumer waste, and maybe make some buddies in the process 🔧👭

My newsletter yesterday was about the growing threat of homes collapsing into the sea in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Right before we hit publish, another house was claimed by the ocean. By the end of the night, four more had suffered a similar fate.

Hurricane Erin has shown that a storm doesn't need to make landfall to cause trouble. Yesterday, I wrote about how Erin's size has fueled strong waves and rip currents along the East Coast, hitting shore towns esp hard during their busy season.

“I don’t know how long it took—ten seconds, maybe fifteen—for the house to come apart."

During the early-morning hours of July 4, the Guadalupe River pulled senior editor Aaron Parsley and six members of his family into its waters. Read his firsthand account:

My latest: In 2022, birders in the U.S. spent an estimated $107.6 billion (!!!!) on expenses related to their pursuits, according to a recent FWS report (I had to triple check that was a "b" and not an "m" because...wow).

Ocean vessels fatally strike an estimated 20,000 whales globally each year. And warming is making the issue of “ocean roadkill” more complex.

In my first for Inside Climate News, I wrote about why slowing down may be the key to preventing vessel strikes.
