Our organization is in such good hands.
Canada, you are so lucky to have this org advocating on your behalf. For better health, and a safer future.

PS anybody need a slighly used board director for their charitable org?

Such a strange day for me! the first time in 9 years I haven't been a board member to @cape-acme.bsky.social !
Wandering around lost in a bit of a daze.
Contemplative, excited for the future, but a bit lost as well.

A ode to my bike! Allowed me to get around town with ease (and a bit of sweat)

It was so refreshing to be hyper mobile and face to face with all Belém had to offer.

(Passing all the cars stuck in traffic too!)

Some photos of the town. Some beautiful some not so beautiful.

We need to get rid of both poverty and plastics.

Dr. Joe’s COP30 diary day 10.

The final day! (For me)

Some reflections on what has happened and some hope for the next two days of negotiations.

Oh, Canada.
How embarrassing.
We won due to our substantial rollbacks of climate policies such as the consumer carbon price, the EV mandate, and threats to our oil and gas emissions cap and our greenwashing legislation.

On top of recent fastracking of two LNG plants.

Dr Joe’s COP30 diary day 8.

Fossil of the Day. The daily “award” given to the country who is seen to have done substantial harm to the climate multilateral negotiations.

Who could possibly have won it today?

So cool!
Oh, wait.

Our Organization @cape-acme.bsky.social invested some money in a new prop! Inflatable lungs!

They looked great for about 45 min the the battery died and they looked a little less great.

Sigh

Live and learn.
