  • Toward a Common Cause

    by Richard Woo on

  • Getting down and dirty for dense carbon storage

    by Keeley O'Connell on

    The Puget Sound estuary has the potential to store 8.9 million tons of CO2, the equivalent of 1.76 million cars. That’s almost as many cars as are registered in Snohomish and King Counties – the most densely populated part of Washington State.

  • No to Big Oil, Yes to Little Kids

    by Joëlle Robinson on

    Last week, state legislators in Washington announced their budgets. The House budget was great news for climate solutions and the Priorities Coalition. However, the Senate budget dropped the ball.   The House budget closed the Big Oil Tax Loophole.  Will you thank your representatives in the House for standing up for our environment, health, safety, and economy?   The House budget includes a proposal to close the Big Oil Tax Loophole – an “accidental loophole” from 1949 that wasn’t intended for oil companies.
