I work in the environmental field, trying to shift from field work to policy or advocacy. I've been so disheartened by how often it feels like one step forward, two steps back, even in places like Oregon where it seems like environmental policy is supported by the voters.

So my question is: what is the best thing that we, as laypeople and voters and everyday citizens, can do to combat this? Where should we target to make the greatest change? What solutions do you see, especially ones that are practical and pragmatic and achievable? Thanks for doing this.

I'm pretty sure you were sitting behind me at a Cornell hockey game in Albany, New York once. The 2010 (I believe) ECAC finals, where Scrivens set his scoreless period steak and we ended up beating St. Lawrence for the championship.

Was it your clone? Or was I just hallucinating?

What tips could you give a beginner woodworker? Specifically, I've got some old furniture I saved from being thrown away and I was hoping to refinish it, touch it up, make it look good again.
