Our buildings are leaking more than energy; they are leaking health.

Our new research analysis of 36 cities proposes ways to reduce disease burden and create more resilient, energy-efficient buildings.

The phrase "charity begins at home" holds a powerful truth for the #climatecrisis. Meaningful change often starts with the small, deliberate actions we take in our own spaces.

Burning solid fuels, whether for necessity or leisure, increases exposure to harmful pollutants, regardless of stove or fuel type. With rising energy costs, many rely on fires to stay warm, but even 'eco' stoves can worsen IAQ.

Today (May 20) is World Bee Day, a moment to appreciate these small marvels.

I am poking around iNaturalist to see the species people are finding in my city - www.inaturalist.org/observations.... Which species are keeping your landscape alive?

Screenshot of iNaturalist page, where search has been set to "bees" and "Oakland, CA" There is an underlying map, with observations marked by orange dots, and each one can be opened to see photograph and species information.

🪵 Wood burning at home worsens air quality

A new study found that even 'eco' stoves can raise harmful ultrafine particles indoors. Open fireplaces and wood briquettes were worst for air pollution.
