    Jumbo slice was 100p consumed last night. Almost as satisfying is recycling the pizza box this morning. In DC, pizza boxes *are* accepted for recycling. In fact, 94% of paper mills in the US can process pizza boxes. All pizza needs to be removed, but grease is fine.

    I've reached out to NPS, DGS, and DCPS to get an explanation for why the batting cages were removed, and what will be done to replace them as soon as possible. I'll keep the community updated as I get answers to what happened here.

    This is where the ⁦⁩ batting cages stood as of last night until either ⁦⁩ or ⁦⁩ took them down. Why are they destroying where the kids play baseball? ⁦⁩ ⁦⁩

    This legislation will ensure our climate change and historic preservation goals work hand in hand & will make it easier property owners to install solar panels, EV chargers, heat pumps, and make critical weatherization and energy/water efficiency upgrades at their homes.

    Recent studies have found buildings account for 74% of the District's GHG emissions. Reducing building energy use-and increasing the energy we procure from renewable sources-is critical to meeting the District's climate goals. This bill is another step forward in that work.

    Great news! As of this Monday, the Urban Forest Preservation Stop Work Order Authority Emergency Amendment Act is in effect. This emergency law will ensure that our heritage trees are protected while the Council considers permanent legislation.

    Developers are brazenly cutting down DC's heritage trees –with full knowledge that it is illegal– with the expectation to just absorb the fine. The Council just voted to grant 's Urban Forestry Division stop work authority to respond & save our trees in real time.

    Compostable packaging. My favorite of all subjects! Back in the day, I used to get to go to composting facilities on the reg and talk with composters about why they do or don’t want to take compostable packaging and learn about its many pros and cons! Here’s what I took away:

    Didn't know about this program, but DDOT just sent a press release. It gives District school staff $200 towards purchasing a new bike for commuting. They wanted to promote the program with high gas prices.

    Metro should seriously consider expanding D6 service to every 10 minutes and rerouting the M4 to stop nearby. From experience I can tell you this is a tough commute no matter how you slice it.

    With a proposed capacity of 1,000 students, officials hope new MacArthur High School will alleviate overcrowding at Wilson High School. It would take students from Hardy Middle and also leave 500 slots open for citywide students.

    This proposed 1,000-student new high school would take kids from Hardy MS, but also have 500 seats for a citywide lottery. City officials say this would also help take pressure off of Wilson HS, which is way beyond capacity.
