Amidst numerous movements and tragedies, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. How do we stay accountable to our communities, question if "diversity" is enough, and avoid panic?

This week, celebrated journalist and author Jeff Chang addresses these concerns. He offers a message of hope: we can navigate these challenges and be alright, provided we work together.

Despite scientific consensus on human-caused climate change, political rhetoric, such as President-elect Trump's "hoax" claim, emboldens denial. This fuels public anxiety over potential fossil fuel expansion and the reversal of climate progress, a significant shift from past bipartisan support.

Join us for an informative look at how climate change became so divisive. Climate scientist Michael Mann and cartoonist Tom Toles offer a satirical perspective, while science journalist Cristine Russell discusses the politicization of science. Psychologist Renee Lertzman explores the psychology of denial, aiming to foster common ground and solutions.

Environmental and economic problems like low wages and unemployment are often blamed on a hard-to-regulate U.S. economy. However, this system is intentionally rigged for the wealthy. Laws and policies overwhelmingly favor them, allowing control of vast resources and lavish living, while most Americans struggle paycheck to paycheck.

Despite ample resources, our economic system is designed for the wealthy, who manipulate it via political influence. It could easily be regulated to ensure decent jobs, healthcare, and homes for all. Yet, we largely complain without taking action.

Dozens of Tasmanian shy albatrosses have received artificial nests to combat declining breeding success, a consequence of warming air temperatures. Scientists placed aerated concrete and mudbrick

Dozens of Tasmanian shy albatrosses have received artificial nests to combat declining breeding success, a consequence of warming air temperatures. Scientists placed aerated concrete and mudbrick nests on Bass Strait’s Albatross Island, where birds struggle to find enough natural nesting material. These artificial nests provide a stable environment, boosting breeding success by 20% compared to natural nests.

For more details on this conservation effort, read the National Geographic article: Shy Albatross Make Artificial Nests Their Own—Giving Scientists Hope for Their Species, and watch the video: Artificial Nests Helping the Shy Albatross Battle Climate Change.

Oceans cover 71% of Earth, sustaining over a billion people. Yet, overfishing is rapidly depleting this vital resource, threatening life and protein for a hungry planet.

Oceans cover 71% of Earth, sustaining over a billion people. Yet, overfishing is rapidly depleting this vital resource, threatening life and protein for a hungry planet.

Fortunately, oceans are remarkably resilient. Ten countries manage most wild seafood, and Oceana has achieved critical policy victories in many, safeguarding over a million square miles.

We can reverse this decline by ending overfishing, controlling bycatch, and protecting ocean nurseries. Join Oceana today to help ensure bountiful oceans for generations to come.

Brooks County, Texas, has become a deadly landscape where thousands of immigrants have died on ranches. These deaths primarily occur as migrants attempt to circumvent the US Border Patrol's inland checkpoint, hiking through rugged and unforgiving ranch lands.

Ranchers in the area are divided in their response: some arm themselves against the influx of migrants, while others establish water stations in an effort to save lives.

However, as temperatures continue to rise and the humanitarian crisis deepens, the number of deaths has tragically reached an all-time high.
