Think Planet Money meets Freakanomics meets environmental issues with map- and data-based visualizations. Our goal is to help people sift through the noise and gain a better understanding of issues related to climate change, environmentalism, and public lands. We’ll be working on visualizations and data dives, doing what we can to help people make evidence-based decisions about what’s important to them.
