Excerpt from this story from Grist:

Detroiter Ian Solomon began building a deep relationship with the outdoors while attending college in Arizona for broadcast journalism. He’d never been in a place with such access to mountains and nature before, and he quickly fell in love.

But during his forays into the wilderness, he often felt like he was entering predominantly white spaces. He soon began to see the outdoors as a privilege to which other Black and Brown people should have access. His efforts led him to launch Amplify Outside, one of several initiatives emerging from Detroit to help eliminate obstacles to people of color accessing nature.

According to a study by the Outdoor Foundation, 72 percent of outdoor participants in 2020 were white. Black and Hispanic Americans are both underrepresented in outdoor recreation activities, and just 38 percent of Black Americans ages six and over participated in 2020, down from 40 percent in 2019.

There are important reasons for this, according to Solomon. “A lot of our history as being Black Americans in the outdoors is kind of negative – you think about slavery and lynching,” he says. “There’s a lot of access barriers for Black people outdoors, but sometimes it’s just as simple as we don’t know where to go and we didn’t know this was an option.”

The disconnect with nature for Black and Brown people goes beyond access. Scholar Carolyn Finney, author of “Black Faces, White Spaces,” notes that Black Americans’ relationship with the outdoors and the environment has historically been dictated for them.

So he decided to make his vision a reality. He started by launching Amplify Detroit with social media accounts on Instagram, TikTok and Twitter in 2021. He soon gained a following by bringing the beauty of the outdoors to screens to display possibilities for Black and Brown people they might not have imagined for themselves.

The posts feature Black and Brown folks enjoying camping, paddling, fishing, and more, along with facts about parks in Michigan, distance from Detroit and how to get there, and information about the natural lands within the city.

Amplify Outside’s tagline is “Black Recreation is Black Liberation.”

Not a Christo by any stretch of the imagination, but a wrapped footbridge nonetheless. Leichhardt.

Reservoir

Stumbling on long forgotten areas, the remnants of humans feels like a memory.

Spray painted trees and shattered glass on the ground. 

The old brick buildings crumble as moss and quick murals take over.

As the fire crackle and pops, I find peace

The piles of firewood reminds me that others were here and decided to be kind to a stranger

Old superstitions still remain as I comb through the woods. 

Yet as tradition remains the dark foreboding trees are carved with hearts and dates.

The morning dew allows me to look at everything around me with kinder eyes.

That sometimes humans mean well.

Chicago Fights Back: New Tools to Combat the City's Changing Climate

Chicago fights back against climate change with new sensor technology, helping neighborhoods adapt to a changing urban environment. #climatechange #sustainability #Chicago

Photo by heather bozman on Pexels.com Chicago is no stranger to the impacts of climate change, with extreme weather, flooding, and heat waves becoming increasingly common in the city. To combat these effects, a team of 17 organizations, led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, has deployed a set of scientific instruments on the rooftop of Bernard J. Brommel Hall at…

Das ist also das neue Jahr...

Grau und träge treiben die Wolken über die Stadt. Noch liegt sie friedlich da. Ein verspäteter Feuerwerkskörper setzt einen brutalen Kontrapunkt in die Stille. Der Gestank von verbranntem Schießpulver fügt sich ein in die urbane Geruchswelt aus Abgasen, Fäkalien und Brackwasser... Ein paar Lichter gehen in den Fenstern an, kämpfen gegen das graue, tote Licht. Eine Katze auf dem Weg zu ihrem Schlafplatz. Ich jetzt auch...
