Celebrating Women on International Women’s Day (And Every Day!)
March 8, 2019
We celebrate the work of women every day in the Earth Day office and when we are out in the field working with communities and collaborating with others to make the planet healthier and more sustainable. That being said, we happily celebrate International Women’s Day. Below are some great articles and posts online on women in science, working on climate change solutions, and environmental protections.

Twitter shoutouts are nice, but they can be exclusionary, esp to those who keep a lower profile on here. Instead of a tweet, what are you doing to make the culture better in your lab/office for all women? How do you amplify the real life voices of women? #InternationalWomensDay

Women have been shown to be more sensitive to others’ suffering, whereas, warriors celebrated for killing their opponents are almost always men. We need to see more women in leadership roles and more closely involved in education about compassion. #InternationalWomensDay
