Glad to see you talking about need to cut back on air travel. Some top climate communicators (like you, B McKibben, MZ Jacobson, etc) need to physically show up to stay most effective but most of us don’t.
Last time I flew was to give a climate law paper at PIELC 2017… plenty to do right here!

It seems to leave out Knight's cutting off donations to U of Oregon Law School for years in a fit of pique after 90s/00s U of O Law students & ELAW / PIELC speakers called out Nike's abuse of workers.
Hope he's saved (some of?) his billions for a good cause.

Yep, it's Saturday night 11 - on the left coast.
Lots of y'all are at #PIELC in Eugene. Or resting after today's #TeslaProtests. Or just relaxing.
Yet - 'tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow" - we've got the skills to bring this Good Trouble together.
Good fun. Good people. Good cause.
Good night!

Tweeps, we got this.
Serious question for my organizer friends here - and those about to be organizers.
Who else wants to build this?
We know how - even if it is simply and powerfully the skill to say "Yes, I can try".
"All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.

The one thing that worked for Poland but I don’t yet see in US is how engaged in real life people have been. I see thousands of people posting against Trump, yet there is no protest of thousands of people at the White House gates this weekend. Like everyone is waiting for someone else to organize it

Happy #PIELC & #ELAW this weekend to all there!

May The Forest* Be With You!
Hope Sam Bond's Garage still brings riotous joy & tonight's bonfire "rekindles hearts in a world grown chill".
"Pain is only temporary, and we are extremely strong"
We will win.

Congrats! Forest protection demos are great: big trees, lovely critters, fine people-what's not to like?
The season's kinda slowing down on the northern Left Coast, but we can plan for next year.
Hope your calendar has room for ELAW/PIELC at U of O Law next year: my tribe welcomes you!

I am trying to find pictures of Stu from PIELC / ELAW & forest defense in 90's, but search is just borked. Pic looks suspiciously like what I recall of him from that era.
Using his name for such hateful trolling would be a truly evil desecration.

One alarming thing I learned at #PIELC is about deforestation caused by avocado farms in my motherland of Michoacán, Mexico, leading to monarch butterfly endangerment. In addition to pesticides. 3rd picture has an action one can take. #savethemonarchs #avocados #deforestation #michoacan #aguacates

Coming out of the #PIELC conference and I’m so sure that some of the key ways to save the environment is invest/build more transit oriented development, more public transit, more density in housing, and EV charging infrastructure. #greenenergy #tod #density #masstransportation

Currently at the PIELC (Public Interest Environmental Law Conference) and learning so much! For those who don’t know, I’m working right now at a public interest firm that has a focus in environmental enforcement right now (in addition to consumer protection & progressive initiatives). #pielc
