I just returned from a Christmas and New Year’s trip to Colombia, and I was also fortunate to have traveled there in March 2017. I have now experienced Cartagena, both the old city and the beach resort area, Santa Marta and Tayrona, doing yoga in an eco-lodge and exploring Indigenous…

I reflect on Indian Prime Minister Modi’s state visit to the White House this week, where he focused on trade and strengthening United States — India ties but side stepped the climate denial of the White House. …

4/29/17 People’s Climate March: This is what I wrote to the Washington Post’s key climate change reporter yesterday: The fundamental principle that we believe in is that minorities, women, and children who are the most vulnerable around the world deserve a place at the climate negotiating table. Trump is saying…

So here what you can do my friends who care about climate change and the US staying in the Paris Agreement: Please contact your Member of Congress (phone call, letter, email) and tell them to support H.Res 85 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-resolution/85) Here is how to find your Representative’s contact information (http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/) Please go ahead and send a message saying that YOU believe that climate change is a real threat, it is manmade, and the US must take climate action and keep global commitments.
