Through the years I have been amazed how many people have come up to me to thank me for something I said to them that impacted their lives. The scary part is how often I didn’t even remember saying anything to them. "The tongue has the power of life and death"...Proverbs 18:21 NIV #pastor #words 🙏

We are dealing with smokey skies here in Southern Ontario. Where the forest fires are happening it is very harrowing. #canadaonfire #forestfire #climatechange #petrostate www.republicworld.com/viral/canadi...

830 wildfires burning across Canada right now. And you know what’s going to make it worse in the future? More oil pipelines. This is why our voice and our vote matters.

It’s the message almost nobody wants to hear (and no politician wants to deliver): cars are killing us in so many ways

Scan your local news today. How many stories are about something climate change is making worse...without saying so? I counted 8 of those in my feed today, vs just 1 that named climate change directly. Why does this matter? Research shows that making this connection changes how people see it.

I’m deleting several posts from today and taking some time off of Bluesky. People would rather argue semantics than stop the stuff that’s destroying the planet. I think we have a couple years left (except for the billionaires in their bunkers). Spend some time in nature and with your loved ones.

I've been so fortunate to avoid all the most common running injuries these past few years. Though sometimes all it takes is a split second lapse of concentration & I'll come crashing down. #ultrarunning #trailrunning #DNF #EarlRowe #injury #nature #running theoldfellowgoesrunning.com/2026/07/09/a...

Chemical forestry has exposed communities, workers, watersheds, wildlife & public forests to 70 years of cumulative chemical risk, while helping create dense, dry conifer plantations that are known to burn hotter and faster in a warming climate. #StopTheSpray🌲🔥 stopthespraycanada.ca?fbclid=IwY2x...

An honour to be a part of the planning committee for the Monarch Race & Festival in #Peterborough, ON. The 10km course wind along the beautiful TransCanada Trail. Our fundraiser is Nación Verde Mx, helping fund tree-planting projects in the monarch butterfly sanctuary raceroster.com/events/2026/...

Was going through photos I took while running a race a few weeks back. This Eastern White Cedar was too beautiful to not take a photo. I don't run the races to have the fastest finishing time. Trail race courses are often very beautiful, so I'll take it all in. I get my money's worth that way. 🏃‍♂️🌳🦋

I have a theory that men love leaf blowers because it’s like wielding a giant phallus that blows everything. Kind of ironic considering it’s an easy way out of doing actual work. Or maybe it’s people who secretly dislike all neighbors? This theory brought to you by someone who loathes leaf blowers.

Sharing faith and the running of tough endurance events go hand in hand. 🙌😊

NEW STUDY: Who is the Highway Lobby? “The highway lobby has been shaping transportation policy conversations for decades in its interests.” And they spend MILLIONS buying car dependency to make sure all of us have to spend BILLIONS. #UrbanTruth Via the Union of Concerned Scientists @ucs.org.

💯Sad but so true.

idk if Canada is like the US in this way, but the sheer size of vehicles (and may it makes drivers blind to people in front of them) is such an epidemic for fatalities. Stay safe.

A fungus photo a day: Strobilurus, guess how big they are and then scroll down ⬇️ to see if you were right. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

The number of cars out there is kind of like trying to peg how many insects are on earth. We can't be exact, but there's data. A data analysis by Hedges & Company in May 2026 pegged the # at about 1.699 billion vehicles in the world, projected at 1.738 billion in 2027. bookshop.org/lists/the-wa...

the older I get, the more I realize that somebody making time for you is one of the biggest signs they care.

They taught us the economy must always go up. Nobody taught us the planet can't. Infinite growth on a finite planet is a physical impossibility. The bill is just coming due now.

Stamp issues that are postally used from Guernsey are really hard to find. So kind of a friend who thought of me when she received it and passed this on to me. I'll keep it as I received it "on piece" for my collection. #StampShareSaturday #Philately #StampCollecting #Guernsey #postallyused

For the first time on record, solar generated more electricity than coal across the entire U.S. - despite active federal policy pushing the other direction. Read more at the link below!

This is the model—volunteers tending native pollinator beds on public ground for #PollinatorWeek. Native plants support far more native bees and butterflies than turf or ornamentals (Tallamy 2020, Nature's Best Hope). Habitat scales past the property line. #NativePlants -C

It's hard to grasp the scale if you've never stood under the canopy. ‎ ‎🌳 The Amazon absorbs 2 billion tons of CO2 per year. ‎🌳The Congo Basin is the world's 2nd largest lung, storing 30 billion tons of carbon. ‎ ‎We are surgically removing our planet's life support. #ClimateAction #AmazonRainforest

Happy #NationalPollinatorweek. What a great turnout with this passionate group of gardeners as part of this Monarch Ultra special event. They cleaned up all the Nicholls Oval pollinator gardens, added some new native plant species & even found a wren’s nest in the middle of the garden! #pollinator

It is always an honour to be a board member of the Monarch Ultra. In 2019 it started as a 4,300km running relay from Canada to Mexico following the migratory path of the monarch butterfly. Each year we're creating more awareness events. This one is on the 1st day of #NationalPollinatorWeek. 🦋🐝🌼

Thank you @parachute.ca for your continued advocacy and ongoing work in making our roads and streets safer for all road users. 🙏

It’s absolutely insane that we let car manufacturers include features that impair reaction time more than four times as much as driving at the legal BAC limit. What are we doing here, folks???

Carl, your article made me well up. I am sorry that your work is so dangerous. There’s a lot of important information that you’ve shared. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

A lot of emotion went in to compiling this. A very difficult article to write. My latest article. #CrossingGuard #RoadSafety #Vulnerable #Hillsdale #PleaseDriveSafe 🚸 theoldfellowgoesrunning.com/2026/06/13/m...

A super El Niño wiped out millions of people in 1877. Are we better prepared now? www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

My backyard has rewilded itself to the point that I need to carefully walk the grass over the septic system to check for wildlife before I trim any grass. Yesterday I spotted this painted turtle. #rewilding #turtlle

Happy Friday. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

AI stands for everything the left is supposed to be against. Sure, it takes a little more effort to make posts without AI. But those posts wouldn't directly support the tech oligarchy, data centers, environmental destruction, and the loss of income for millions. Please don't use it. #caturday

🌍 The arrogance of humanity in our pursuit of development often blinds us to the consequences of our actions. We must recognize that our planet is fragile and requires our respect and care. #Sustainability #EarthCare

"Local Runner Finally Recovers From Injury Just In Time To Reinjure Himself"

Being a crossing guard on ON Prov. Hwy 93 is not for the faint of heart. Ever since crossing guard #PeterClark was killed by a hit & run driver In Ottawa a couple months ago I've been struggling deciding whether I will return in the fall. I'll be 68 then. Haven't yet decided, but the kids mean a lot

This is the first time I have heard of Mount to Coast trail running shoes. Launched in 2024, they made the top of the list. #trailrunning #DestinationTrail👟 www.destinationtrailrun.com/blog/best-tr...

Bicycling and running are two of my passions. Interesting that #WorldBicycleDay and #GlobalRunningDay fall both on June 3rd each year. I follow a quite a few runners & cyclists here on Bluesky. So many health & environmental benefits, as well with walking. #WorldWalkingDay is Oct. 4 this year. 🚴🚶🏃

The ocean especially the phytoplankton biomass is one of the lungs of the Earth that allows us to exist The other is the world forests like the Amazon and Congo Basin We are killing both these lungs and both lungs are dying They call this progress growth and development

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs are savings.

Nothing lifts the spirit in the emotional spiral of post-sermon fatigue like a warm, honest, specific comment from a church member about how the sermon was helpful to them. Those are a gift from God by His grace. Thank you Lord for each one. #church #sermon #preaching🙏

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Absolutely! 💯🎯

1/2 Speaking a certain level of intensity, if consistent, will drain an audience of energy & focus. Give them a break, a chance to breathe, a chance to recalibrate. Intensity turned up a notch or two & left there can become too much to take. It's not worth it—better that they hear what you’re saying
