Floating Free (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m learning how to kayak, a process which has so far involved buying a used one, figuring out how to get in and out of it, and paddling around, inexpertly. Plus a few YouTube videos and some tips from my husband. I intentionally fell out of it on some warm days over the summer, practicing “self-rescue”— a dressed-up word for the extremely awkward procedure of hauling oneself up on to the back of the kayak, using the extended paddle as a lever, and then spinning around, belly-down, until your le
The Time to 1.5 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Earlier this month, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) released a report titled Limiting Overshoot: Navigating exceedance of 1.5°C and pathways towards return. I knew immediately I was going to write about it here, but I’m finding it really difficult to do so. Honestly, I’m wiping away tears as I try to type this paragraph.

They recently made good on that promise, announcing a proposal to rescind the policy in its entirety. The public has only a few weeks to submit a comment. The deadline is midnight on Monday, September 21; comments can be submitted through the federal government comment portal.I
Making Good Choices (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I looked at my phone on Wednesday night and saw the terrifying videos from the disaster in the Himalayas, what I felt was not shock, but a sickening sense of: yes, we knew this was coming. I remembered sitting in a lecture ten years ago, as a Scripps Fellow in environmental journalism at CU Boulder, learning about the rapid deterioration of the cryosphere in the Himalayas — the glaciers, snow, and frozen soil, or permafrost — and the increasing likelihood of catastrophes exactly like the on
