NRDC's Kate Poole was featured in NBC-Bay Area on how climate change is affecting struggling salmon populations in California and how the state compounds the problem by diverting the water salmon rely on. Kate warned, Climate change has really thrown a significant new challenge to all of us who work on these issues. And just like it’s threatening home for all of us, it’s also threatening home for the animal and plant life that we depend on to survive. She also noted, What ...we need to do if we want to provide enough space for our salmon and steelhead and other native species to survive is get rid of a lot of barriers that we’ve built, a lot of defunct dams we have in California. We have over 1,400 dams in California! Many of them don’t serve any useful purpose anymore and are just old and nonfunctional. https://www.nbcbayarea.com//climate-hotspot-palo-/2453054/

NRDC's Andrea Collins was featured in KCRW’s Greater LA episode of Wasted, focused on California’s food waste crisis. The episode explores how much of California grown produce is actually eaten, by following the lifecycle of a strawberry. Andrea noted, In the U.S. and in North America, more food is wasted at the household level than at any other point in the supply chain. When asked how grocery stores contribute to waste, Andrea said, There are places where grocery stores are overstocking and giving the impression of abundance that’s leading to waste, like a tall mound of apples. Apples on the bottom are getting bruised and damaged. https://www.kcrw.com//wasted-educati/food-waste-strawberry
