Banning #PFAS in MA not only protects us - it protects the communities where these toxic chemicals are made, used, and disposed of. It's a health issue AND a justice issue. Thank you @JulianCyr and @repkatehogan for sponsoring a comprehensive ban on PFAS in MA. #mapoli

Big news! TPI’s cofounder and beloved community member, Nick (@beesearcher), has graduated from Tufts! Dr. Dorian will be moving to Chicago to continue his work through a post-doc with Paul CaraDonna. We will miss him so much but are so excited for his next journey. Good luck!!

The story of Flaco & the admiration NYC has for this owl is facinating. I hope this bird inspires NYC to think critically about making the city safer for wild birds. There are lots of threats that need mitigation, inc rat poison (big one for owls), window strikes & outdoor cats
New Yorkers worried that Flaco, the owl who escaped from the Central Park Zoo, wouldn’t know how to hunt and could starve to death. But he defied everyone’s expectations. Despite a lifetime in captivity, Flaco had somehow “remained wild inside." nyti.ms/3ZEJ2JS

“State agencies are really at the forefront of conservation for wildlife,” said Scott Black, executive director of the Xerces Society. “But in these states where they can’t work on insects,... they don’t. So, you see things just languish.” @CatrinEinhorn buff.ly/3ERVgqz
Are you a scientist? Consider signing a Scientist Letter of Support for Nevada Assembly Bill 221 to define insects as wildlife. Nevada currently does not considered insects wildlife. The bill allows the state wildlife agency to conserve insects. buff.ly/41EFdpP
Xerces has worked with partners to plant more than 100 miles of hedgerows in CA. A study found hedgerows in CA would capture so much carbon, it would help the state to reach up to 12 percent of its greenhouse gas reduction goals. buff.ly/41lnaVi

Kudos to 3 #NewEngland states for having bills banning #toxic #ArtificialTurf (CT, MA, and VT). It's not just the #PFAS - it's #microplastics and #methane and #ClimateChange and acres of #plastic.
Great convo w @evandawson @mmackmedia yesterday about Birds and #Bees Protection Act, a bill that would limit neonic pesticide use in NY – preventing harm to bees, birds, people. Fantastic panel of experts! @rghatfield, Kathleen Nolan, Daniel Raichel 🎙️👉 wxxinews.org/show/connectio…
