Western water is precious and limited. The thirstiest crop, alfalfa, has no real place in the West. It’s great to see the Editorial board of @sltrib calling for an end to water guzzling alfalfa in Utah.

87% of Utah water goes to farming - largely alfalfa, much of which is exported. In the drought impacted West, growing livestock feed, draining water reserves for cows, isn’t viable

We need to protect western watersheds for wildlife, for people, for life in the West.

It should *not* be possible for a rando crypto bro to lose $32B. We need a net worth cap. An individual should in no way ever be allowed to amass $1B in personal worth. After $1B, any remaining amount gained needs to go back into community and planetary well-being. Period. How can we live with all these rando idiots hoarding our planet’s wealth when they don’t even know how to manage or distribute it?

Here's a version of the #Coyote petition story in which WWP explains why listing the #MexicanWolf's doppelgänger can help the listed species.

“Multiple scientific studies have shown that killing #wolves does nothing to reduce livestock losses, ... over 40 years of wolf killing programs, that killing wolves doesn’t increase hunter success either. Colorado’s natural ecosystems provide ample opportunity for wolves, deer and elk, and agriculture to coexist and thrive; the idea of slaughtering wolves is rooted in fear, not science, and should have no role in a voter-approved, science-based recovery effort.”

JUST IN -- According to its draft #wolf management plan released today, #Colorado plans to capture 30 - 50 gray #wolves from Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, or Wyoming over the next 3-5 years + release them into the state’s Western Slope forests.

Ähem: Hallo, Fediversum! Hello, Fediverse! Wir sind jetzt auch hier. We're now here, as well!

Sure, let a guy who can’t even master posting a clever tweet put a chip in your head.

We're going to need some fold with more followers to boost this. We're new to Mastodon, but this is a key development in #MexicanWolves advocacy:

Boy bye!

"This most recent setback for Manchin's dirty energy giveaway is a monumental victory for the environmental movement, whose strong opposition once again stopped this scheme in its tracks," said Ariel Moger, government and political affairs director at Friends of the Earth.
