Nature School Alumni Interview - Environmental Learning - The Planet Magazine

Did you go to a Nature school? I want to interview you! Hello! I'm working on a story for The Planet Magazine this quarter about the effects of environmental-based learning on childhood development and access to the outdoors as an adult. I'm looking for students who went to a nature-based preschool, elementary school or middle/high school and would be interested in doing a quick interview with me. Please reach out to my school email at [email redacted] or message via Reddit. Thank you!

Tourism Experts & Travellers on Micro-Cation Trend for BBC Travel

#JournoRequest Slow travel may have a new contender. Micro-cations — short trips lasting two to four days — are gaining traction as time-stretched travellers attempt to tick off more places, make better use of paid leaves, and book last minute trips. Flying to a different country for just three days over a long weekend isn’t unheard of anymore, and there’s reason to believe this trend will continue, and even grow, over the course of the year. For my upcoming story for BBC Travel, I’m reporting and writing a feature around this shift. I’ll be digging into where the trend started and why, how it’s manifesting (where people are going, and on what terms), its consequences for the places we visit and for the environment, and how tour operators are responding to this changing demand. I’m currently in the douse-myself-in-all-sorts-of-information-on-the-topic stage, and I’m open to hearing from psychologists, tourism experts, tour operators, and, of course, travellers themselves who have something to share based on their experiences. Sound like you? Drop a comment or a DM, or reach out at [email redacted]. Thank you! 🌻 (Image just to please the algorithm gods)

Case Studies of Grassroots Impactful Initiatives & Individuals

Hello folks! 🌸 As a media and communications professional, I have had the privilege of covering many positive and inspiring stories over the last few years. More than ever, I feel the need to keep bringing forward voices and work that often go unnoticed, but carry deep purpose and impact. I am looking to feature stories that reflect compassion, hope, and meaningful change. These could come from anywhere across community efforts, heritage, environment, education, social work, culture, innovation or any initiative that is truly making a difference on the ground. If you know of individuals or initiatives doing impactful work, especially those that deserve more visibility, I would genuinely love to hear about them. P.S This is not a call for PR, products, services, or business promotion. The intention is only to share authentic stories of purpose driven work and real impact. Please feel free to reach out, or connect me with someone whose story should be told. Thank you! #socialwork #impactstories #communitywork #dogooders #positivestories #volunteers #NGOs #media #csr

Remediation Experts for CERCLA-Superfund Podcast Interviews

In this 37th episode, I discuss What is "CERCLA?" The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), enacted in 1980 and commonly known as Superfund, authorizes the EPA to clean up sites contaminated with hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants. It enforces a "polluter pays" principle, holding responsible parties liable for cleanup costs, and establishes a trust fund for abandoned site remediation. "CERCLA" provides The US EPA the power to enforce clean up of past contamination by either forcing The Responsible Party(s) to remediate it or for more immediate needed action, utilizing SuperFunds (past collected taxes) to address the immediate need or if a site needs to be addressed due to the threat to the environment and human health and has not identified A Responsible Party(s) to be remediated by The US EPA. Whenever possible, if at Any Time A Responsible Party(s) is identified, if SuperFunds were utilized, The US EPA enforces CERCLA to attempt to recover any SuperFunds that were utilized.

Travel-Environment-Tech Story Leads in Costa Rica & Panama - Guardian

Seeking Costa Rica and Panama stories As many of you know, I’m currently in Colombia but I’m now plotting a land/sea adventure up to Panama and Costa Rica, where I plan to travel to in April. I’m scouting out a variety of stories: These can be about travel (for example, in Mexico last year I explored the country's first long-distance hiking trail for the Sunday Times and the concerns of overtourism in Bacalar for the Evening Standard); environmental (for the Guardian Global Development desk I explored one man's tree-planting mission in the Western Highlands of the country); or tech/innovation (last year I worked on a story for the Guardian on the innovations being used to help find some of Mexico's missing people) and/or business related. Any leads/contacts etc would be great. I am interested in stories rather than hearing that an NGO/company exists - what's the story? #journorequest Picture: of me in Jardin in Colombia’s coffee region at the weekend (before I made a poor life decision and hiked downhill, duly followed by a storm, making it a treacherous, slippery mudbath of a walk).

Elevator Maintenance Experts on UNC Outages - The Daily Tar Heel

Questions about elevator outages at a large university campus (UNC-Chapel Hill) Hi everyone — I’m a student journalist with The Daily Tar Heel working on a story about frequent elevator outages across the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus. I’m hoping to get some industry context from people familiar with elevator maintenance and operations. For context: between Aug. 1 and Dec. 31, 2025, UNC reported 374 elevator outages across 368 elevators maintained by the university. (An “outage” here refers to elevators being taken out of service for repair; durations vary.) According to UNC Media Relations: >"ModprosElevatoris responsible forrepair efforts which can sometimes be delayed due to hard-to-find parts for some of the older buildings and equipment on our historic 230+ year old campus." Beyond that, public information is fairly limited. I’d appreciate any insight on the following: Is anyone familiar with Modpros Elevator and how they typically operate on large campuses or institutional facilities? What are the most common causes of elevator malfunctions or outages in commercial or university buildings (e.g., door systems, controls, aging equipment, environmental factors)? From an industry standpoint, does a figure like 374 outages over five months across \~370 elevators fall within a normal range, or would it generally be considered higher than expected? What factors most often contribute to repair delays today? Are parts availability, supply-chain issues, or technician shortages still common challenges, especially for older equipment? I’m on a tight deadline and still learning the technical side of elevator systems, so any perspective or general guidance would be incredibly helpful. Thanks in advance!

Remediation Experts for Podcast Interview on RCRA & Waste Management

In this 36th episode, I discuss What is "RCRA?" The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), enacted in 1976, is the primary U.S. federal law governing the disposal of solid and hazardous waste, aiming to protect human health and the environment. It establishes a "cradle-to-grave" system for managing hazardous waste from generation to final disposal, while also promoting resource conservation and regulating non-hazardous waste. "RCRA" provide The US EPA the power to regulate Waste Generators and the management of the waste generated through the creation, to transportation, to treatment, to storage and through final disposal or recycling. RCRA's purpose is for the proper management of both hazardous and non-hazardous waste, in an effort to have a lower environmental impact and effect on human health.

Microplastics Health Impact Expert for Salt Coverage-The Guardian

I'm looking for an expert that could comment on this Guardian article about the overestimation of microplastics in the human body, as part of a piece I'm writing about - of all things - salt! Since there have been studies finding MPs in salt, I'm looking for an expert to help me tease apart the findings about studies on MPs, so I can give rational, scientifically-accurate expert comment on this issue in an interview. I wrote a previous feature on airborne MPs, and in fact from that reporting, when MPs lodge in the lungs, it's more serious than that which we ingest in food (including salt). I also note that this recent Guardian piece looks to be the worst example of environmental journalism I've seen in a while... titling it a "bombshell" finding, when it was DOW CHEMICAL who said that, not mentioning that Germany, where the main critic works, is Europe's biggest plastics manufacturer, and also not mentioning that the same writer (the Environment editor, apparently) wrote a couple weeks before, with no caveats and not quoting anyone else, "The human body is widely contaminated by microplastics. They have also been found inblood,semen,breast milk,placentasandbone marrow." And so this piece almost seems like his own overcompensation since there's now a bunch of critics on a VERY NEW field that's still working out its techniques. It seems like a hit piece on science by the plastics industry, underwritten by the Guardian editor who does not understand how science works. I did a highly referenced article for NIEHS a couple years back and inhalation is far more likely to result in MPs (not sure Nano) to get embedded in the lungs, and then distributed to the other parts of the body vs if ingested. https://lnkd.in/gsk33Y9i Please share, if possible! If you are an experts who can comment, let me know. Thanks in advance! https://lnkd.in/gTnehrPC

Tool Recommendations for Mapping Amicus Brief Funding Disclosures

Tools for mapping Amicus Brief funding networks? I’m working on a piece about dark money in a recent environmental MDL (Multidistrict Litigation). There are over 60 amicus briefs filed, and I’m trying to map out who funded whom without reading 2,000 pages of PDFs. I’ve been dumping the dockets into Google Pinpoint, but it struggles with the scanned PDFs. A colleague on the data desk suggested AskLexi to query the docket metadata directly. I used the natural language query to just list all parties who filed in support of Defendant and it gave me the full list, which I then cross-referenced with OpenSecrets. It’s working okay for the surface-level mapping, but does anyone have a tool that specifically tracks funding disclosures inside the briefs? Or am I stuck manually Ctrl+F-ing through these? Also, if you use DocumentCloud, is their OCR better than Adobe's?

DFIR Lead-IAM Expert-Security Architect on Discord Credential Risk-Security Boulevard

I’m writing an article for security boulevard, and I need expert insights. Details: I need a Digital Forensics & Incident Response Lead, an IAM expert, and a Security Architect for insights about whether Discord-based credential and token theft can impact enterprise environments, and how organizations can effectively mitigate that risk. Many tech companies use community apps like Discord and Slack for customer engagement and support. A recent report showed that the VVS Stealer can steal Discord credentials and tokens. Since these platforms are used in enterprise contexts, this article explores whether such attacks can impact enterprise environments—and how companies can mitigate the risk. Deadline is Thursday Jan 22. Tell a friend to tell a friend. Thanks!🙃

UK Leaseholders Facing EV Charger Barriers for The Times

Times story about leaseholders' difficulties installing chargers Hi everyone, hope all's well. I'm a journalist at the Times, covering clean energy and the environment, and I'm working on a story about how it's way harder to install a charger in the UK than in other European countries. In Norway, if you live in a leasehold building and want to install a charger, your freeholder has to give you permission to do so. In the UK, however, freeholders and landlords can refuse tenants' requests for chargers without giving a reason, and aren't even obliged to reply to requests. This is a pretty big hurdle for the adoption of EVs in the UK. I was just wondering if there are any leaseholders on here who have struggled to install chargers, and if so whether you'd be up for chatting with me about your experience. All the best!

Immigrant & Expat Families with Kita Enrollment Experience

Press request: Kitas looking for immigrant and expat families Hello everyone! I hope it’s okay that I’m writing to the group here, but I could really use your help with some research. I am a journalist and I am currently researching the topic of a shortage of families in daycares (Kitas). In brief, here is what it is about: Apparently, there are too many vacant spots in daycares, so much so that some Kitas are now specifically trying to reach out to international families to fill these places. In doing so, they might offer a diverse environment, advertise in different languages, or have specialists who are proficient in several languages. If any of you have had such an experience, I would love to hear more about it. This shift is particularly interesting to us because there was a long-standing shortage of daycare spots, and the pendulum is now swinging back again. Perhaps you have experienced something yourselves? Or do you know someone whom this concerns? If so, please reach out and I can tell you more about the project. I would be delighted to have your input. Thank you in advance! Best regards, Aysun (PS: I myself have a migration background, and I can conduct interviews in German, English, or Turkish, should anyone want to contact me)

Hey everyone, I’m a local journalist working on a story about the proposed demolition of parts of the former GE factory site at 107 Park Street North, and I’d really like to hear from community members. The site has a long history in Peterborough and there are ongoing discussions about heritage preservation, environmental safety, and public health. Some residents have raised concerns about possible contamination or air quality impacts, while others see the demolition as a necessary step toward redeveloping a large, unused industrial property. If you live nearby, worked at GE, or just have thoughts about what should happen with the site, I’d love to include your perspective. You can comment here or message me privately if you prefer. I’m hoping to gather input by Friday end of day, so any thoughts before then would be really helpful. Thanks for taking the time to share.
