Meanwhile, a tanker truck is on fire on 95.

......for now.

Good news? This is new. Thank you.

These are not the carbon offsets I'm looking for

Thank you. Even if the win is small in comparison to an overall problem, it’s still important to be aware of it. I think a huge miss in environmental issues is how doomsday everything is. Makes a lot of people throw their hands up and say F it.

I get downvoted anytime I’m on a wildlife sub because I sometimes mention the numerous species that are doing great in the last 50 years. I guess it doesn’t fit the narrative? I dunno, I’d like to be aware of it and how it was accomplished. Shrug.

Man, I’m so happy about this news. Coming from years of forest fire smoke in the NW, with lung issues, this is what I’m here for.

It was a septic truck

It was a monster mash

Some species might be doing great but 70% of total animal populations have fallen in 50 years

And it did catch on in a flash

Thanks for the irony. And the obvious.

People died, so it was also sort of a graveyard bash.

I really do think it's underrated how much of the pollution killing rivers and poisoning our air (other than CO2 and GHG) is generally on an improving trend.

I was going for the “waste to energy” pun - making the carbon offset more valid. But this is funnier.
