December 2025 Newsletter

The theme of this newsletter is “Sustainability.” I summarize the good, the bad, and the ugly of the recent COP30 (UN Climate Summit) hosted by Brazil in Belém, “the gateway to the Amazon.” The main issues centered on decreasing carbon emissions and halting deforestation. 

“Sustainable Landscaping” is my mid-December talk at the Turtle Bay Nursery. A climate crisis solution remains carbon sequestration, which plants excel at, especially native plants. Come visit the GPNPN online store for the right plant, in the right place, and for the right purpose:)
