Hey Reddit - happy Earth Day! Four years ago while hiking in Sequoia national park we conducted our first wilderness trail trash survey. After hiking 70 miles we found 295 litter items on trail including 3 plastic bags filled with human feces. This survey opened our eyes to trash in wilderness areas. Next year (2023), I will spend five months living in the backcountry and hiking the 2650-mile Pacific Crest Trail to study trash on trails. This deep dive will be the largest trail trash survey ever done! We hope to use the litter data we collect to inform solutions to keep these resources clean.

Follow our trail trash survey @notracetrails on Instagram and Twitter and join our mailing list at [www.notracetrails.com]{http://www.notracetrails.com/]

The on-trail journey will be supported by an amazing off-trail team who are also here today:

  • Win Cowger - is a data scientist who has his Ph.D. in Environmental Science focused on trash research. He is currently a research scientist at the Moore Institute for Plastic Pollution Research.

  • Emin Israfil - is the lead developer at Rubbish, and a fellow trash and data enthusiast. He will be tech support for the journey to make sure all the litter data gets captured along the way.

  • Danielle Deltorchio - is the co-founder of Brewtrails (@Brewtrails), a Santa Cruz/Bay Area-based hiking meetup where hikers of all experience levels can come together to explore the outdoors and enjoy craft beer from local breweries. She will help the team with their social media and connection to other hikes.

I' m organizing a 14 day trek through the jungles of Vietnam, retracing my steps through the battlefields of Operation Oklahoma Hills. My gold is to bring awareness to the 100's of thousands of service personnel and their families who have been affected by Agent Orange. Here is a website detailing the journey: Operation Oklahoma Hills: Back To Sherwood Forest

You can ask me anything; about war, policing the streets of Los Angeles, Cancer, anything, no holds barred.

I’ve been a psychotherapist for over 16 years and have worked in various settings, including residential, community mental health, outpatient mental health/substance use and private practice. Over the years, I have seen a growing number of women coming into my practice struggling with alcohol use disorders - much more than just a fun “mom’s night out”. And - this seems to have only gotten worse throughout the pandemic. I now have a full-time private practice dedicated to supporting the unique needs of women - many of whom are questioning their use of alcohol to manage their stress.

And we're done — thanks to everyone who asked Qs during this AMA! If you have information to share with us on this topic, like documents, data or tips, you can contact Will securely through Signal at 510-255-0865.‬

Hi everyone, My name is Will Evans and I’m a senior reporter and producer at Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting. I’ve reported on labor and tech – like our investigation into safety problems at Tesla to our series looking at working conditions at Amazon warehouses. My work has prompted government investigations, legislation, reforms and prosecutions. Now, I’m focusing on how corporations are held accountable (or not) when it comes to climate change. My last two stories have covered:

  • How Amazon is drastically undercounting its carbon footprint and asked that its report not be shared publicly.

  • How big-name companies like Google, Netflix and LinkedIn, who claim to be climate leaders, were conspicuously absent from a climate action ad that urged the federal government to “ACT NOW” on the climate crisis.

Vietnam is the 2nd largest producer of coffee in the world with over 90% of its production being robusta coffee, cousin to arabica. Robusta coffee beans are naturally more pest resistant and have the ability to grow in a variety of climates and altitudes in contrast to arabica. Outside of Vietnam, robusta is not a popular bean choice for single-origin or specialty coffee. For decades, robusta has been sidelined as an inherently cheap & undesirable coffee, which is blatantly false. With the rise of specialty coffee production in Vietnam, we’re seeing that robusta can be both delicious & ecologically sustainable. As an importer & roaster of specialty Vietnamese robusta coffee beans, I’m here to talk about all things Vietnamese coffee & beyond in celebration of Earth Day. We’re here to uplift the beans, the people, & the culture! Ask me anything!
