Come work with me @MnPCA! This was my first job at the agency, so I can highly recommend! Work on cutting-edge air and climate policy, environmental justice, and community engagement with a fun, energetic, and passionate team. (Job ID 56699) careers.mn.gov/psp/mnjob/MNC…
Proud to be one of the 3,080 owners. We need to support women's sports at all levels!
Which team has 3,080 owners, $1 million in crowdfunding, has sold 3,000 season tickets & has made $650,000 in revenue before their first kick tomorrow?
No, it's not an NWSL club... it's @MNAuroraFC.
@JeffKassouf details how they built their club.

It's finally @MNAuroraFC Day! Couldn't wait for the sold-out home opener tonight to sport my Aurora colors! (Also, I know I need to put up a few office decorations...)
The most important and most Minnesotan thing you will do today is use your voice to vote on new snow plow names. Get to it, Minnesota!
The wait is over❗ Out of nearly 11,000 name submissions, we narrowed it down to 50 finalists – VOTE NOW for your favorite snowplow names! ➡️ ow.ly/F1qL50Hy3ju
Wondering what to talk to your family about this holiday season? How about climate change?! Here's a great conversation guide to help you have a meaningful conversation. I hosted a convo with my womxn's broomball team and found it inspiring and energizing! engage.dnr.state.mn.us/mn-cl…
Am I THE MOST excited person to ever participate in the @MetCouncilNews & @MnDOT travel behavior inventory?! Have seen the data used for years & always wanted to see the collection in action! Sign up to help if you got one of these too! It’s important for transportation planning!

Start a climate conversation! #ClimateChange is happening right now in Minnesota. Host a conversation with your friends, neighbors, or others you know. Share your ideas with us, and they will be used to make a plan for action. Learn more: bit.ly/38Sp3PX #ourMNclimate
1/2 Favorite thing about working a shift at the #EcoExperience? Connecting with Minnesotans about climate action, air quality, and electrification!
2/2 Not favorite thing about working the Fair? The sexist comments! This year included mansplaining my job to me, implying I have my job b/c affirmative action, & telling sexist jokes about women belonging in the kitchen! Next year maybe we can do #EcoExperience misogyny bingo!
Wrapping up my #EcoExperience day at the Fair with my traditional bike ride home on ‘Ol Blue. Work off a fried pickle or two.
Love this new #EcoExperience display on taking action for climate change, encouraging Minnesotans to give @MnPCA their ideas! If you like it too, you can have it visit your local library. And if you want to share your climate action ideas, visit mn.gov/climate
My own garage is all electric and so is this one! Check out the electric ideas at the Eco Experience.
So proud of the @MnPCA team who worked tirelessly to make #CleanCarsMN a reality for Minnesota. The rule is officially adopted! A great day in Minnesota for climate, public health, consumer choice, and EVs.
EV road tripping reflection: Stopping to charge definitely slows down the pace of travel a bit. I recommend packing patience, a sense of adventure, and a curiosity about the little discoveries along the way.
Tillman (dog), Billy Jean (Bolt), and I are kicking off our EV road trip! Dog seatbelt and EV charging trip planner app are keys to safety and no range anxiety! Here we go!
Rachel Wagner of Through Design in Duluth was one of our excellent Our MN Climate Forum Series panelists this month. She reflected further on expanding green jobs in MN on her blog. Check it out! throughdesign.net/blog/build…
Did you miss last week's Our Minnesota Climate Forum on expanding green jobs in MN? If so, you can catch the recording on our website (while you're there, take our survey on climate engagement): climate.state.mn.us/get-invo…
Building confidence in Billy Jean’s range. First time I drove to Chicago I stopped 3 times (😬), last time I stopped twice, this time just once! Although, sadly, Tomah is the least dog walking-friendly stop. Will be a whole new ball game come winter, though!
