While the mud that made it to the coastal zone has largely moved out of the system, much of the sand and gravel deposited right near the river mouth during dam removal, and is still there. It built new beaches, estuary lagoons, and other shallow coastal habitats. The sea-floor was also transformed in patches right near the river mouth. The dots reference locations of photos shown above. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62958dbe24667166229bd18e/78305d7b-afde-4c3d-8747-9da4eef488ac/1_CQ8-LYobheGBXJIrhFn0FQ.jpg Community Voices - A Coastal Perspective on Dam Removal - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.theplanetmagazine.net/communityvoices/climate-change-necessitates-new-approaches-to-environmentalism monthly 0.5 2023-01-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62958dbe24667166229bd18e/11117baa-bc8a-4ad6-bef8-2638096a5c1f/1_DcFkOc5gG8oQG61RAyqHlQ.png Community Voices - Climate Change Necessitates New Approaches to Environmentalism - Make it stand out Photo provided by Terry Flores https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62958dbe24667166229bd18e/20a8f169-7e91-46ee-bc04-0414f0e12824/1_fl1P41un81CGXHS8MdLNkw.jpg Community Voices - Climate Change Necessitates New Approaches to Environmentalism - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.theplanetmagazine.net/communityvoices/let-wilderness-thrive monthly 0.5 2022-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62958dbe24667166229bd18e/c45f0c07-f9b9-4802-ba70-3409cc2db2ea/1_1VXrUfTyiWuVdQWVxbnvKA.jpg Community Voices - Let Wilderness Thrive - Make it stand out Photo by Robert Thiemann on Unsplash https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62958dbe24667166229bd18e/f2f61742-38f2-474d-b350-48f06f2cb19d/1_7NKMGl4AFtJ55P2RNDrmOg.jpg Community Voices - Let Wilderness Thrive - Make it stand out View of the John Day River upriver from the mountain lion cave.

Though this was a big step forward for environmental stewardship, it also meant there were now areas all over the country that did not meet those standards. The Quendall Terminals site was placed on the EPA's Superfund National Priorities List in 2006. After assessing potential consequences through soil and water samples, the official EPA plan as of 2020 is to clear the pollutants from the Terminals. This includes dredging contaminated soil to be disposed of off-site and using developing technologies that can burn away the petroleum products underground. “Taking a couple different approaches to that [process], some of it is to move it, some of it uses new technology, some of it is to capture it and to keep it away from Lake Washington,” Dunbar said. However, the main obstacle in the way of this project is the price tag, which is estimated to be $106 million. "There is no magic formula to do it," said Robert Cugini, the current owner of the land whose family has owned the property since 1971. "It ends up being negotiated between the lawyers of the potential responsible parties." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62958dbe24667166229bd18e/d605b8a5-0090-4df0-94e5-c30db6cfc3b2/5.jpg Spring '23 -

While mishaps of this magnitude are unusual, composting food waste requires facing the realities of rot: gross smells, various molds, and strange water in the bin that needs cleaned out every time it is emptied. However, composting prevents food from breaking down in landfills and producing methane, a potent greenhouse gas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62958dbe24667166229bd18e/a43f481a-4bcd-4aee-acfe-d9792198c1e9/1*RF7iMWe058MN7iYxRIEETw.jpg Blood, Rot and Despair: Reflecting on Living Zero Waste - Make it stand out Lists of my zero waste goals from freshman year to now surround a book of speeches by teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg.

Some food is stored in the glass jars that are key to the zero waste aesthetic, but between the inaccessibility of bulk shopping during the pandemic, the time cooking from bulk ingredients takes, and the expense of bulk and organic foods, I buy a lot of foods in plastic or cardboard packaging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62958dbe24667166229bd18e/a3947764-11e1-41dd-8557-9a729e37e77a/1*9gwFO-dE-gjUmLyX3Jzovg.jpg Blood, Rot and Despair: Reflecting on Living Zero Waste - Make it stand out I clean my menstrual cup after use.
