In last week's edition of @grist's Looking Forward newsletter, I covered an intriguing proposal to give nature political representation through a "planetary parliament." https://t.co/fKpbLlfeu5

New research proposes a more expansive way to look at companies’ contribution to global net-zero: by tracking their "spheres of influence." My latest for @grist. https://t.co/BvAzzvZcDI

In a major reversal, the US says it will support plastic production limits at the global plastics treaty. Industry groups responded by saying the White House has "turned its back on Americans whose livelihoods depend on our industry." My latest for @grist. https://t.co/h2AHoU9kG6

For the first time in nearly 40 years, the EPA used its emergency authority to immediately ban a toxic pesticide. Farmworker advocates say suspending DCPA — sold as Dacthal — will spare workers' children "lifelong harm." My latest for @grist. https://t.co/EIhh7hoxtm

Carbon credits are supposed to "uplift" communities, but researchers say there's little evidence this is happening on a large scale. Many of the credits' supposed beneficiaries call them "a new form of colonialism." My latest for @grist. https://t.co/Rrg0C3AQgs

I've seen a lot of coverage about Kamala Harris' track record on climate. But what about plastics? Experts say she has "the know-how and credentials to challenge plastic pollution as president." My latest for @grist. https://t.co/bu23nJgNlL

Goodbye, "soy boys." Hello, swole vegans. These plant-based strength athletes are living proof that you don't need to eat animals to be strong. My latest for @grist. https://t.co/IiZm27X4ur

Next month, more than 30 cafes and eateries in Petaluma, California, will begin serving beverages in reusable cups by default as part of a first-of-its-kind pilot program meant to reduce pollution from single-use plastic. My latest for @grist. https://t.co/waU41y5ps4

The petrochemical industry says it's "fully committed" to the global plastics treaty, but what does that mean? Here's a deep dive into what trade groups think the agreement should include. My latest for @grist. https://t.co/RBcb4ddqrN

Neither candidate actually answered the climate change question during Thursday's presidential debate. But at least one of them didn't go on an incoherent rant about "H2O." I wrote it up for @grist. https://t.co/xkz8U6e6dk

Excellent story from @lisalsong on chemical recycling, and why it won't solve the plastics crisis. https://t.co/ycpeti2el8

RT @MelissaValliant: I spoke to @josephbwinters @grist about the latest report card detailing companies' progress on curbing plastic use.…

A series of lawsuits say it's deceptive to call bottled water "natural" — if it's contaminated with microplastics. My latest for @grist. https://t.co/VvlsZoBwo5

Occidental Petroleum's climate strategy involves selling "net-zero oil." Critics say that's an oxymoron. My latest for @grist, on a new analysis from @CarbonMrktWatch. https://t.co/aATq32CCE7

Oil execs knew natural gas was bad for the climate, but promoted it anyway. That's just one of many revelations from new documents released this week as part of a congressional investigation into Big Oil's climate deception. For @grist, w/ @katemyoder. https://t.co/PPyptdmwVT
