I am, therefore I think. Finding meaning on a simple path: Be the change you want to see in the world. Passionate about many things, but especially climate action, walkable communities, and active transportation. I also like to laugh.

Like Icarus of Greek mythology, humans remain convinced we are the masters of the natural world. It's a dangerous combination of hubris and greed that is leading us to the brink. And so far, few are tapping the brakes.

I have to be honest. My job is to communicate how to adapt to climate change specifically as it relates to protecting public health. But when I read something like this, I am totally, 100% flummoxed and discouraged. This should just not be happening. Gift link: wapo.st/3ZyomGs

Picture of three condominium buildings at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, with water lapping at their foundations. Text reads, "These Galveston condos stand at the edge of the swiftly rising Gulf of Mexico."
Text over an aerial view of Galveston Island "Galveston Island has an extensive sea wall - but much of the island remains beyond its protections."
Text over ariel view of coastline, showing where seawall ends, "That hasn't dissuaded real estate sales or proposed development on its western side."
Devastated by an extreme hurricane in 1900, Galvestonians built a 17-foot-high sea wall and pumped in millions of cubic yards of sand to lift neighborhoods. “Galveston has literally raised herself above sea level and today proudly surveys the results of her achievements,” a 1930 Galveston Daily News article noted. Today, the island is booming. Galveston’s population has grown, home sale prices have more than doubled since 2011 and developers see more potential — even beyond the island’s existing fortifications.
