It will be decades before you'll need them again, and most glasses shouldn't be used if they're more than three years old.

What happens to our trash? Why are our oceans filling with plastic? Do we really waste 40 percent of our food 65 percent of our energy? Waste is truly our biggest problem, and solving our inherent trashiness can fix our economy, our energy costs, our traffic jams, and help slow climate change—all while making us healthier, happier and more prosperous.

At least $102 million dollars. That’s just an initial estimate of the hit Panhandle ranchers took after an outbreak of wildfires in late February — including the Smokehouse Creek Fire, the largest in state history. Over three days this week, a panel of state lawmakers heard first-hand accounts from affected ranchers and investigators exploring the fire’s origins.

In 1878 a total solar eclipse crossed through the American West and captured the world's attention. A musical in development sings the stories of three scientists who looked to the sky with something personal to prove.

The Smokehouse Creek fire began on Feb. 26 due to a downed electricity pole. The blaze consumed over a million acres, making it the largest wildfire in Texas history. On Thursday, a representative from Xcel Energy's Southwestern Public Service Company testified before a Texas House committee charged with investigating the Panhandle wildfires.

What's changed about how our food is being produced since the world shut down?

On Monday the moon will block out the sun and put parts of Texas into darkness. The day of the total solar eclipse is almost here. And we are being gripped by Eclipse mania. If you haven’t made your plans, it’s not too late to find a front-row seat to the greatest show not on earth.

The discussion of the climate crisis can be too abstract. Data warns us of an overheated future, but it's hard to communicate the seriousness and the urgency to take action. But look around now and you will see the changes to our seasons and from the accumulating damage from worsening weather disasters—and the people who are being forced to pick up the pieces if they can. Stories from the front line of the climate crisis from small town America

Instead, they divided cities, displaced people from their homes and chained us to our cars. Nowhere is this more visible than in Texas, up and down I-35. Where is the off ramp from the highway trap?

The self-styled 'Sparkling City by the Sea' could be the first to dive into ocean desalination — but many local residents are opposed.
