There are 3 Rs before recycle - REFUSE, reduce, reuse. 💪
Environment Minister Catherine McKenna says a federal strategy on consumer plastics is coming in June, but she stopped short of committing to the types of bans other jurisdictions have introduced. cbc.ca/1.5084301 @lukedenne

Excellent thread of threads explaining the what/why/how of current climate change impacts.
Climate change is real. The warming we’ve observed is entirely human-caused.* Its impacts are serious, including making heat waves, wildfires, hurricanes, droughts and floods more severe and more dangerous.** But there are solutions and we can fix it.*** 💪🌱

This is very cool! 😎
Last May, I put out the first version of a river flow tool, which traced the path of a raindrop downstream. At the time, the biggest limitation was that it was constrained to the US. Happy to share that we've now got a global version of the tool working:

In person classes begin September 8, why is the vaccine mandate for October? @cbuniversity
Current harm to local residents (human and other animal!!) This is not Nova Scotia’s future. @CBRMGov @nsgov @cleanenergycan
The Donkin Mine has been closed for more than a year, but residents who live near the shuttered mine site say they are still living with noise that is bad enough it is causing them to lose sleep. atlantic.ctvnews.ca/resident…

How to be a successful graduate student? Choose a great advisor(s) like @OdriscollNelson
I have an opening for a student wanting to do a MSc in environmental science at Acadia in Sept. 2021. Topic is flexible but preferably related to mercury photochemistry or flux measurements. Must love both lab and field work. 😁@IrvingCentre @acadiaresearch @OdriscollNelson
This is an excellent discussion question. #PuttingTeacherHatOn

Why is the general public using disposable masks?
Too many disposable masks and gloves are ending up as litter! As we all work to protect each other from #COVID19 we also need to protect #OurNature. Used masks and gloves belong in garbage bins, not the environment.
