Fall bounty I roasted this beautiful pumpkin to use in a West African stew. The pumpkin came from Jones Community Gardens, a miracle of community effort that helps 70 food-insecure seniors every week. I put in a modest hour volunteer work a week, and am blessed in many ways!

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

#Earthsea is so brilliant. Each book in the series deepens consciousness, painfully and beautifully.

There is an attempt to obscure the #ClimateCrisis. Read why #neofascism now is worse than that movement in the 20th C. #Environment and #Climate are the container issues.

Early cherry blossoms

We can all find ways to help re-wild the world, appropriate to where we live, the local ecosystems of which we are a part, but which do not exist for us.

The City of Sun Prairie has become the first municipality in Wisconsin to achieve 100% renewable energy. Their next goal: carbon neutrality by 2050. Recently I introduced a bill with State Representative Supreme Moore Omokunde to commit the entire state to carbon neutrality by 2050.
