My first inclination was to title this “I am just one person.” Then I realized that was the last post, so I am clearly killing it as an blogger and catfluencer. This week, I had to accept that I am just one person and I can’t expect myself to do all of life responsibilities without…

I am back. I am trying this again. That entire thing of “One person can change the world;” Well I bought into it. I was pumped. And then, guess what I didn’t save the world. 2023 is going to be the hottest on record. Winter in New York never even happened (and don’t tell me…

I understand that I live in a city, and you don’t have as clean air as you would in the country. I also understand that the climate crisis is not isolated to just New York City, and the actions we take in our city are affecting the Earth (even the cleaner air in the suburbs).…

It has been a long time, and while I have not been writing, I have been doing some work on my project. Is as much work as the earth needs? Sadly no. I have hit some roadblocks called the New York City Government. The Department of Transportation won’t put up the signs because there is…

My dear friend, Winter, is trying so hard to survive. It was 70 degrees the other day and today has been a mixture of sleet and snow. It is March. March is still winter, and it should be that way. I went to college in Iowa, it snowed in April. That is what the weather…

Did you know I started a blog, I met with an aide from my local council member’s office and people are still running their cars??? The audacity. I must remind myself, even as February has fifty-degree days, that a) I can’t save the earth all by myself and b) I am still doing something to…

Ugh. This week I got a very distressing email from my local precinct that they don’t give out tickets for anti-idling because ” most recently, precincts throughout Brooklyn South have received numerous complaints from the public indicating that the public is upset with this kind of enforcement.” I get it, the fines for idling are…

We are experiencing a cold snap in New York (yes I love it, even without the snow). It has been hard for me to go on my daily walks since I see so much idling. People are warming up their cars for longer periods of time, but why? According to a Washington Post article from…
