I really did not appreciate clean water access until having a baby. Today alone we’ve done:

- 4 loads of laundry
- Refilled 2 humidifiers
- Watered plants
- Taken 2 showers
- Refilled 4 water bottles
- Refilled 2 dog bowls

And that is just ONE day in the life of a 3 person (+ one dog) household

Turns out Labor and Delivery nurses are actually just angels sent from heaven.

We also have it in Colorado ❤️

I have only been a parent for 2 official days and even more than I felt before - I cannot find it conscionable that my country still does not give new parents any paid leave.

Not yet

Fossil fuel giant wins $370 million tax break for burning gas as an ‘alternative fuel’ The IRS allowed one of the world’s largest exporters of natural gas to claim its heavily polluting tankers are low-emissions “motorboats,” the company said.

A fossil fuel CEO attended a Mar-a-Lago dinner where Trump urged Big Oil execs to donate a collective $1 billion to his campaign

In return, Trump promised that he'd cut taxes and regulations for their companies.

Trump just made good on his end of the deal...

Support Colorado’s SEED Act to rein in pesticides | OPINION By Brad Kuhn Colorado has an opportunity to take a smart, science-based step forward by passing the SEED Act, SB26-065. This legislation does not ban tools farmers rely on. It simply ensures that high...

Colorado can lead with science by passing the SEED Act, SB26-065, which limits the unnecessary use of harmful neonic-coated seeds. By supporting SB26-065, Colorado lawmakers can help protect pollinators and wildlife, while preserving flexibility for farmers.

You can say something like - “I support clearer labeling of gluten and cross-contact risks so families with celiac disease can safely choose foods."

Labeling and Preventing Cross-Contact of Gluten for Packaged Foods; Request for Information The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) received a citizen petition from Celiac Journey requesting that we act to protect consumers with celiac disease by requiring that all ingredients with glut...

My nephew has Celiac's disease and it is a daily struggle to figure out what he can eat. The FDA is considering a new rule to better label our foods - please take a minute to comment!

Trump’s Assault on the State of Our Health and the Environment As Americans take stock of the state of the union on Tuesday night, the state of the environment is gravely imperiled.

"A little more than a year in, big polluters are getting what they want from this administration. The rest of us are paying the price...." @nrdc.org

www.nrdc.org/media/trumps...

This reckless decision puts our health at risk and will let harmful emissions dirty our air and water. While the Trump administration continues to attack science, it’s our communities who will pay the price.

American families will pay the price while fossil fuel companies profit.

Colorado Can Join Leading States by Curbing Second “Silent Spring” Pesticide Pollution SB26-065 would reduce Coloradoans’ exposure to neonic pollution by adopting a model where neonic seed coatings could be used only when they’re the right solution for a verified pest problem.

"The Colorado state legislature is currently considering the SEED Act, which would put Colorado on the vanguard of states and provinces across North America in tackling the number one source of neonic pollution: harmful and wasteful neonic crop seed coatings."

Senate Vote Will Decide Fate of the Boundary Waters The U.S. Senate will vote this week on whether to allow dangerous sulfide-ore copper mining on the edges of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness—a place where my family’s roots go back mo...

U.S. Senators will soon vote on whether to open Minnesota’s Boundary Waters to dangerous mining. This plan would threaten wildlife, the local economy, and a national treasure. Urge your Senators to vote no and protect this irreplaceable wilderness.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Because it’s judgmental to claim a birth that chooses to go without pain meds is “natural”

Let’s stop calling a non-epidural aided birth “natural.”

Why not say: do you prefer a painful birth or a painless birth?

Every Road Cuts Deeper: How Forest Fragmentation Threatens Water and Wildlife As more and more of our forests face threats from industry and the Trump administration, it’s critical to protect the Roadless Area Conservation Rule.

"Our national forest system is already full of roads, and more roads are cut into these public lands every year. The Roadless Area Conservation Rule keeps the most remote and valuable intact forests from suffering a death by a thousand cuts."

www.nrdc.org/bio/gabriell...

Democrat or Republican, Americans want their National Forests kept intact Repealing the Roadless Area Conservation Rule would not be in the long-term interest of the American people.

Former Forest Service Chiefs speak out: Americans value National Forests and want to see them protected from industrial roadbuilding. Repealing the Roadless Area Conservation Rule would go directly against the interests of the American people.
