When you're an athlete, climate impacts can hit hard. But for many, awareness also catalyses action!

I asked two pro soccer/football players to give me their first-hand accounts in Talking Climate this week ⬇️

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead.

Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

There are only a few days left in our summer sustainability fundraiser, and we could really use your help! When you set up a monthly donation — at any amount — you're funding the future of Long COVID journalism (and getting free stickers!). the-sick-times.fundjournalism.org/donate/

If you've noted the massive failure to mention climate change in mainstream coverage about the LA fires, here is a piece that specifically discusses how climate change has exacerbated wildfires in California in the last decade. The current fires will likely go down as among the most destructive.
