We’re still celebrating Valentine’s Day AND our 29th birthday, which was Feb 14. And we want you to be our Valentine. The Society of Environmental Journalists is the world’s leading group of professional reporters, writers and academics covering energy and environmental issues. Millions of people read, watch or listen to the work of our members on any given day. We believe the job of raising awareness of these issues is critically important.

Please be an ally to the journalists who tell the world's stories. Like us. Support us. Join us. Spread the word about us. [1] We’d simply love it.

With Valentine's Day this Thursday, here's a question for you. What do you love about our world? The woods, the sky, the wind, the snow? Every day, the members of the Society of Environmental Journalists report about the world, so that the things you love will always be here. This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating our 29th birthday. Will you be our Valentine? Will you be an ally to the journalists who tell the world’s stories? Like us. Support us. Join us. Spread the word about us. [4] We’d simply love it.

February 5, 2019 — I'm the grateful recipient of an SEJ Fund for Environmental Journalism travel grant. SEJ's generous support allowed me to go to India to report on air pollution. In addition to the stories it enabled me to write for the New York Times, the Guardian and Smithsonian at the time, that grant was the first step in my work on a book about air pollution — "Choked: Life and Breath in the Age of Air Pollution."
