The Decline of Forests in the United States Over Time

This historical map visualization illustrates the dramatic reduction of forest cover in the United States between 1620 and 1920. The green areas represent forested regions, which significantly shrink over time due to colonization, industrial expansion, agriculture, and urban development.

1620: Before European settlement, much of the U.S. was covered in dense forests, especially in the East, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest.

1850: Deforestation accelerated due to westward expansion, timber harvesting, and land clearing for agriculture.

1920: By the early 20th century, large swaths of forests were lost, particularly in the Great Plains and Eastern regions, as industrialization and farming reshaped the landscape.

While conservation efforts and reforestation programs have since helped restore some forests, this map serves as a stark reminder of human impact on natural ecosystems and the need for sustainable environmental practices.

What do your stove, your seasonal allergies, and a Houston mayor have to do with climate change? This week's newsletter covers some of the things I’ve been thinking about lately: how we cook, how we breathe, and how leadership can happen in the most unlikely places.

✅ Good news: Gas stoves aren’t just bad for climate — they’re also a major health hazard. But making the switch is getting easier and more affordable every year.

⚠️ Not-so-good news: Allergy season is getting longer — and worse. Higher CO₂ and warmer conditions are driving more pollen and longer growing seasons; and millions more people around the world are feeling the effects.

🌟 Inspiration: We lost a climate hero last week with the passing of former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner. In one of the most climate-vulnerable cities in the U.S., he championed a climate action plan that centred justice, resilience, and community.
