Lady Bird Johnson said “The environment is where we all meet; it is the one thing we all share.” Today we are more focused on the LACK of common ground with our fellow humans. As we reflect on this Earth Day, let’s remember that everyone needs clean air & clean water to thrive.

“Never have we so hurt and mistreated our common home as we have in the last two hundred years. Reducing greenhouse gases requires honesty, courage and responsibility. Those who will have to suffer the consequences will not forget this failure of conscience and responsibility.” — Pope Francis

Do you like to swim, drink water, eat healthy food? None of that happens without clean water. clean water is the true “all of the above” fuel for our future.
Clean water has no party lines — it’s essential for all Americans.💧This Inauguration Day, we’re sharing our blueprint to ensure clean water, strong infrastructure, and safe communities over the next four years. Let’s protect what connects us. ⬇️ www.americanrivers.org/cleanwater/?...

This is leadership-thank you @edgarmcgregor.bsky.social! We need a well funded NOAA Weather Service that can go as hyper local in both research & sharing information.

During his run for president, Jimmy Carter was asked how would side between economic growth & environmental quality. “I want to make it clear if there is ever a conflict, I will go for beauty, clean air, water and landscape.” That choice also leads to a strong economy. It isn’t zero sum.

Former President Jimmy Carter's work on energy efficiency and renewable energy were criticized, but it laid the groundwork for the country to address climate change now.

President Jimmy Carter was a staple of my Emory University experience. As a Philosophy/Ecology co-major & Poli-Sci minor, he guest lectured once/semester. He was so generous to Emory, the students, & our missions including agreeing to be the keynote speaker at Emory's #EarthDay1990 celebration.

“I already know that” is simply silly. We need to be learning something new every day. This list can start your 2025 New Year’s resolution goal to learn more and use that knowledge to make the world a better place/fight off narrow thinking.

“If Bluesky turns out to be a long-term home for political conversation, it will be because, as also happened on early Twitter, the new arrivals create appealing new habits and norms, not just new content,” Clay Shirky writes in a guest essay.

About 22 hours and 17 years ago, I went into labor to give birth to Coleman P. Coleman continues to grow into a brilliant, kind, passionate person working to widen my perspective, show kindness to others (along with eye rolls to me), and keep me from being/acting like/becoming… “Karen”.

Every city should do this. There are more trails than we know and cities can often easily address difficult crossing to join two green spaces separated by a highway. That’s an easy way for cities to promote public health. How can we help @cityofMobile?
