From NIMBY to Please in My Back Yard The pandemic has driven a lot of people outdoors: reports show that park visits are up around the world and parking lots at hiking trails are packed. Time in nature reduces stress, cuts healing times, and enhances the functioning of the immune system.

Build Nothing New That Ultimately Leads to a Flame The first principle of fighting the climate crisis is simple: stop lighting coal, oil, gas, and trees on fire, as soon as possible. A second ground rule, corollary to the first: definitely don't build anything new that connects to a flame.

To Counter Climate Change, We Need to Stop Burning Things If one wanted a basic rule of thumb for dealing with the climate crisis, it would be: stop burning things. Burning stuff is destroying the stable climate on which civilization depends.

Our Best Chance to Slow Global Warming Comes in the Next Nine Years 2050 has now emerged as the consensus target for many countries to go carbon-neutral. That date won't mark the end of the climate crisis, but it's useful as a final deadline for the transition to a new economic and energy regime that respects the physical limits of the planet.

Our Stuff Weighs More Than All Living Things on the Planet 2020 was the year in which the weight of "human-made mass" -- all the stuff we've built and accumulated -- exceeded the weight of biomass on the planet. The weight of living things remains relatively static, year to year, but the weight of man-made objects is doubling every 20 years.
