What’s being called the nation's deadliest wildfire in a century, the #CampFire in Northern California, has officially been 100% contained. 🔥🔥🔥 In it’s wake is at least 85 people dead, 249 still missing, and over 150,000 acres burned, including nearly 19,000 buildings (mostly homes). Recovery is a long road ahead... . . 📸@kylewarnermtb #shadowofdrought #cafire #cawater #climatechangeisreal
Have you ever heard of the Great Thanksgiving Flush?! Yes, it’s true: after Thanksgiving dinner, approximately 30 million Americans will watch football and use the bathroom at halftime, resulting in about 108 million gallons of water flushed at once. That’s roughly enough water to fill an entire football stadium! #HappyThanksgiving 🦃💧

The devastation across California due to fires like #woolseyfire and #campfire are truly shocking. Hundreds of people still missing, dozens of lives lost and thousands of structures destroyed. Yet, we can’t ignore the role of climate change in this, especially in the North. 🔥💧 “If Northern California had received anywhere near the typical amount of autumn precipitation this year, explosive fire behavior and stunning tragedy in Paradise would almost certainly not have occurred.” - Daniel Swain, @ucla Climate Scientist . . — Thank you to our firefighters @calfire and individual heroes like @the_pandra for fighting these terrible fires. — #wildfire #climatechange #globalwarming #cawater
Winning Best Conservation Film at the recent @catalinafilm festival is a high honor, but the question remains if our audience will heed the message of the film. 💧🤔 Can we change our mindsets as a society to better value our relationship with water?? . . #cawater #water #savewater #conservation
With 6 wildfires burning throughout the state right now, it’s clear these dry, windy months are catching up with us. 🔥🔥🔥 The worst of the fires, the #CampFire in Northern California, has already burned 70,000 acres and has killed 5 people in just over 24 hours. It’s only 5 percent contained. . . 📸 @bayareanewsgroup #staysafe #woosleyfire #wildfire #brushyfire #firefighterslife #hillfire #rinconfire #cadrought #climatechange #caisburning
