This is the mask I wear. A bit pricy but washable and sturdy. Been wearing them for two years now when the AQI gets over 100 outdoors. Inside we have a good air filter. #CambridgeMask #N99 #PM25 #Protection #Thailand cambridgemask.com
I'm blown away by the idea blitz & connectivity at our first face-to-face @columbia @earthinstitute #climatecomm #sustcomm network meetup & workshop. Despite snow, ~100 students, staff, faculty, alums explored ways to accelerate & spread climate & CO2 progress. A few threads: 1/

Wicked problems need everyone engaged. #energyjustice
