“When we learn that our bodies contribute to carbon sequestration–as opposed to expenditure–it flips the switch for a lot of people."

Just FYI, the same group that is financing the “He Gets Us” Jesus ads is also helping finance the lawsuit seeking to ban abortion medication nationwide
Can’t wait to have you on the team!
It's getting around, so I might as well make An Announcement: I'll be making a foray into radio when I join @MainePublic later this month as a reporter!

Gov. Janet Mills and Democratic legislative leaders on Tuesday previewed a slate of bills expanding and protecting abortion access in Maine, including one that would allow the procedure late in a pregnancy if recommended by a doctor. bit.ly/3GLe4aZ
In the face of a warming planet, coastal communities in Maine must keep trying to adapt, or risk losing the softshell clam fishery forever.
