We broke 80 degrees for the first time ever for February today. Seems like a good day to start a book about the climate.

Amazing story of a young woman and a tree. Julia Butterfly spent more than 700 days in Luna to save it from the logging industry. She peacefully fought big business and violent loggers at times. Over her time in Luna, she had visits from celebrities building publicity to the tree. Some of her colleagues in protest lost their lives, while Julia stayed in the tree as long as it took, until it was guaranteed it would not be cut.
#NewYearNewBooks #WomenInScience I still think first of Rachel Carson , marine biologist, who‘s classic work was often the average persons first look at the facts about environmental degradation related to chemicals, & other human activities.
4⭐️ Overall, I really enjoyed the concept of the book and I wouldn‘t have picked it up if hadn‘t been a #bookclub pick. The final chapter felt a little too much and basically skimmed it. Definitely thought provoking. #2024 #bookclub #bookstagram #nonfiction #memoir #science #environmentalism

Sally's Sweet Corn
“Get your roasted corn here!
Can't be beat this time of year!
Eat it fast!
Eat it slow!
Crunch in circles!
Nibble rows.
Wipe the butter off your chin.
Ear to ear, you're sure to grin.
Quick, before it disappears!
Step right up the sweet corn's here!“
