Happy World Environment Day. This year's theme is Climate Action.
We're past the point where awareness is enough. The world is changing. The only question is how we show up to work with it.
Do one thing today in your community or profession. Use your voice. The signals we send back matter. 🌍

Today is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression.
Children are being killed, displaced, and traumatized in conflicts zones and in your peaceful city. They deserve our full moral attention, not just today, but every day until this recognition day is no longer needed.

June is National Rivers Month. Rivers have been the thread running through my career: the Mission Reach in San Antonio and now flood resilience and salmon habitat in the Pacific Northwest.
Different rivers. Same conviction: the work we do for rivers and the work we do for people are the same work.

Happy World Otter Day!
Today is a day to celebrate the 13 species of otters worldwide and raise crucial awareness about the threats they face, such as habitat loss, pollution, and the illegal pet trade.
May you find someone to love & hold hands with while floating along the ups and downs of life.

Happy World Turtle Day!
The turtle has been my spirit animal since my mom taught me the tortoise and the hare as a philosophy. Later I found the Buddhist Parable of the Blind Turtle, which illustrates the almost incomprehensible rarity of this human life.
Slow and steady. Show up. Be grateful. 🐢

On this International Day for Biological Diversity, I’m recognizing the nearly 20 years working on ecosystem restoration.
What I know now that I didn't at the start: biodiversity isn't just a metric. It's what makes a place feel alive.
That's worth everything. 🌿

It's World Day for Cultural Diversity. I helped the World Heritage designation for the San Antonio Missions — a place where Spanish colonial, Indigenous, and living community histories are inseparably layered.
Cultural diversity doesn't complicate a story. It tells the true one. We need that truth.

Happy World Bee Day!
I spent years on ecosystem restoration projects that brought native wildflowers and grasses back to urban river corridors. After the plants came back, the bees came back.
That's what living systems do when you give them a chance. 🐝

Happy World Fair Play Day!
Soccer taught me this young and I've never unlearned it:
You can win if you play unfairly. But your teammates know. Your opponents know. And you know.
The game is only worth playing if the contest is honest. Everything else is just theft with a scoreboard. ⚽

National Public Works Week. I've spent my career connected to major public works projects — urban river restoration, flood risk reduction, ecosystem recovery — and the thing I know most clearly is this:
The infrastructure is impressive. The people behind it are extraordinary.

It's Endangered Species Day!
For most of my career, I have worked on flood risk reduction and ecosystem restoration.
Healthy floodplains mean cooler water, better habitat, and a fighting chance for fish species, like the endangered salmon, which have shaped the PNW region for thousands of years.

International Day of Plant Health. I am proud to have worked on projects that restore native plant communities to river ecosystems, including the Mission Reach in San Antonio, one of the largest urban riparian restoration projects in the US.
Healthy plants bring back birds, fish, and community.

Happy World Migratory Bird Day!
I spent years helping protect freshwater flows into San Antonio Bay, unglamorous, essential work, partly because Whooping Cranes, the tallest birds in North America, winter there.
The chain between water policy and a living species is shorter than most people think.

It's Historic Preservation Month!
While reconstructing San Pedro Creek in San Antonio, crews found something unexpected: the foundations of the city's first AME church, dating to 1867.
I was proud to be connected to the work that followed, honoring that history instead of paving over it again.

May is National Wildfire Awareness Month.
Wildfire "seasons" are longer, the fires hotter, the communities at risk broader than anyone predicted a generation ago.
Awareness matters. So does honesty about what's driving this.
Pay attention. Then do something with it. 🔥

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. The most important thing we can do is make it easier for people to tell the truth about how they're actually doing. Everyone is carrying something. Normalize the conversation. Ask. Listen. Reach out if you need help. You were never supposed to carry it alone. 💙
