This year I’m by replacing my flights between SF and LA with train rides. Going by Amtrak is half the price, hassle, and emissions of a flight.
Bonus: I get time to read and work with a view.

Last summer, my housemates and I were evacuated twice because of Napa fires for weeks at a time.
This is what living in California is going to look like every year for the rest of our lives, unless we start taking climate action today! 😔

Dozens of new fire starts today in California with winds gusting above 70mph and humidity down to summertime levels.
It's mid-January, the peak of what should be California's rainy season.
We are in a climate emergency. twitter.com/pjdohertygis/s…

Let me know if you need a better way to leave feedback directly on your website and I'll get you an invite 🍓🍰

This is the event that got me thinking that maybe I could be a founder. It's been three years, but I still remember 's and 's talks about Shippo and Poppy — thanks for inspiring me & thanks YC for bringing together these role models :)

The public benefit corporation structure makes it possible for a business to have a mission, instead of focusing only on profits. For Wren, the PBC model helps us quickly scale our impact while committing to an unwavering mission and values. Here's how: (1/8)

”The difference is about the same as a decade of fossil fuel emissions from the UK, Germany, France and Canada put together.”
Tropical forests are rapidly losing their ability to absorb carbon.
The fact that this isn’t on every front page is terrifying.

Terrible things happen every day, but when someone like Kobe — who seemed so untouchable, so omnipresent and larger than life — is taken away it really drives home how absolutely nothing is guaranteed and our time here is pretty precious

I have never said anything like this, nor will I ever say it. It’s never too late to do as much as we can, every fraction of a degree matters. There are of course no magical “dates” for “saving the world”.
I am only quoting the SR1,5 IPCC report on remaining CO2 budgets.

The difference between indulgences and carbon offsets is the latter actually fund climate solutions.
There are hundreds of solutions that already exist and purchasing offsets is one of the ways individuals can help with deploying and scaling these solutions.
Quote Tweet
Buying carbon offsets like planting trees always struck me as eerily similar to buying indulgences. You do a bad thing, then try to settle the score with a questionable purchase, so you can keep doing the bad thing. A tree planted today is not offsetting your flight tomorrow.

"As the results of climate inaction become more apparent, there appears to be some movement on the regulatory front and concurrent activity from early-stage technology investors to make carbon offsets more of a reality."

We're doing a Q&A with some of the farmers making the community tree planting project (projectwren.com/projects/commu) happen. What do you want to know about agroforestry, tree planting, or day-to-day life as a smallholder farmer?

Today I received a message from someone who has no “girls” on his team but would like my “female perspective.”
Y’all, my “female perspective” is not going to be useful for a YC app. I have far more to offer beyond my gender.

if she isn’t going to overhaul her life to be low carbon right away, fine. change can be difficult and will take time.
but to go out of her way to slam someone who is actually doing the work to preserve the planet?
that’s a different kind of evil 😕

Hey did this cross the red line? Unlikely, because it’s a marriage made in hell between Trump and Twitter. Social media has utterly weaponized hate and given an unrepentant racist a platform to aim at us all. nytimes.com/2019/07/10/opi
