We are trapped in a heat dome, data centers are guzzling up our water, and now our public lands are being sold off to the highest bidders so they can have access to even more climate changing fossil fuels. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/07/01/m...

Behold! The syrup barrel to rain barrel conversion is about to commence!

28% of US greenhouse gas emissions are from the transportation sector, and not accelerating the adoption of non-fossil-fueled vehicles is furthering the climate crisis. columbusunderground.com/ohio-ranked-...

We, as a people, know what and how to stop the climate crisis, but instead continue to pillage the planet and line the pockets of millionaires, billionaires, and now trillionaires. www.dispatch.com/story/weathe...

Happy Pride, Columbus!

Rep. Munira Abdullahi (D-Columbus) celebrated the $500,000 going to the Great Southern Metro Park. “The fact that there’s a Metro Park in an area that doesn’t have a lot of green space, I’m super excited that got funded, it’s something I was very passionate about.” www.nbc4i.com/news/politic...

I'm excited to follow Alissa's journey from avid recycler to master composter! www.axios.com/local/columb...

Europe is putting solar panels in between train tracks and we can't even get passenger rail here. 🤦‍♂️

We can't do anything if people are hungry. The Mid-Ohio Food Collective, under Matt Habash's years of leadership, has faced numerous challenges head on. Their next leader has big shoes to fill and an even bigger imperative to build a food system for all people. www.dispatch.com/story/news/l...

In less than 4 years, our food waste work went from just a goal in the Climate Action Plan to being a fully operationalized program. Now, thanks to a partnership between the City and SWACO, we have a Class II Composting Facility that gives us end-to-end control of our program from scraps to compost.

SWACO and the City of Columbus are partnering to keep more food waste out of the landfill and put it to better use.  The enclosed composting system will process food scraps, reduce transportation impacts, and create finished compost for local community gardens!

Just another fun day on the job preparing for the new season of Columbus Litter League. More details soon!

Pawpaw flowers!

Litter that starts on our streets can end up in our waterways, making its way all the way from Columbus to the ocean via the Scioto River, the Ohio River, the Mississippi River, and the Gulf of Mexico.

Just on the heels of Great Southern Metro Park opening, the next @cbusmetroparks.bsky.social is set to open next month. Initially, this space will be designed for larger events with a more traditional park experience coming later this year. www.columbusnavigator.com/bank-run-met...

Signs of spring.

It is an incredible honor to support and recognize the dedicated staff of our Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks as we open our newest park to the public. I can't wait for folks to explore Great Southern Metro Park and see it grow into a Southside nature haven in the years to come.

We can still do great things amidst all the atrocities and horrors committed by the U.S. Government.

Invest, trust, respect, and believe in science.

This is no joke, our newest Columbus and Franklin County Metro Park opens on April 1st! www.dispatch.com/story/news/l...
