"Try as best as you can not to be fear-driven. I think we are so driven by fear that we're never going to be enough, that we aren't going to contribute enough….(Y)ou actually are enough just as you are, right? Take this day, do what you can. Impact the people around you.…Become partners in your career with unlikely people, people who don't think like you, people who aren't doing the same career as you. You'll get a lot more joy out of, I think, your career because of the cross-pollination."

"We, the people we can definitely keep the pressure on, not only on our lawmakers, our governors, our mayors, our senators, our Congress people. We have to keep reminding them that we care about these issues…There's a real key also to the future reimagining, asking companies to reimagine themselves as energy companies, not oil companies or gas companies, but energy companies. So all of these pressure points are incredibly important. We all have favorite stores, favorite brands that we shop on. If you love Walmart writing to the customer services and to the president of Walmart saying, 'Hey, get those solar panels on all of our Walmart stores. We want to do our part. They care. They care about consumer response. It's important to say that you care. You want them to care." Dominique Browning on Electric Ladies Podcast This Women's History Month 2026, it's critical that all our elected officials at all levels know that we care about climate change, clean air, clean water and protecting the environment. That pressure is what makes them pass legislation that addresses these issues. How? Listen to Dominique Browning, Founder and head of Mom's Clean Air Force, who is also a Vice President at the Environmental Defense Fund, in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: ● How to pressure your Mayor, Senators, Congresspeople, state legislators, governors, the head of the EPA, the president, and even your School Board members to pass legislation to address the climate crisis and protect our clean air, clean water and environment. ● How states and cities are leveraging Inflation Reduction Act and infrastructure Act funding and incentives, still, for a range of clean energy and climate solutions, such as electric school buses and solar panels. ● How important it is to show gratitude when elected officials do the right thing. ● Plus, career advice, such as: "Just say yes, say yes to everybody who wanted you to do a project or consult on something or talk about something, meet, brainstorm, et cetera. And slowly but surely, I started building up a network of people who were interested in the same things I was interested in…Another piece of advice I got …(was) 'you got to go with the love.'…Over time, I began to see that what she was talking about was think about what you love, what you're passionate about, and what you can do… And that's very motivating, especially when things are difficult."

The Friday Newsletter | Daily Gardener Community Botanical History On This Day 1806 William Wordsworth received a life-changing invitation from Lady Margaret Willes Beaumont to design and build a winter garden at her estate in an old gravel quarry. This unique request would lead to what Wordsworth later called "the longest letter I ever wrote in my life" - a detailed garden design that merged poetry with horticulture. 1887 Georgia O'Keeffe was born - an artist who would revolutionize how we see flowers through her bold, modernist vision. Over her remarkable career, O'Keeffe created more than 900 works of art, but it's her dramatic, large-scale flower paintings that have become her most recognizable legacy.

WHEN ‘HOUSE' IS NOT A HOME—Dominique Browning jokes that after the interview for this episode, she might end up having PTSD. After more than 30 years writing and editing at some of the top magazines in the world, Browning has blocked a lot of it out. And after listening today, you'll understand why.At Esquire, where she worked early in her career, Browning says she cried nearly every day. There were men yelling and people quitting. Apartment keys being dropped off with mistresses. A flash, even, of a loaded gun in a desk drawer. At House & Garden, where she ended her magazine career in 2007 after 13 years as the editor-in-chief, the chaos was less Mad Men and more Devil Wears Prada. It was glitzy Manhattan lunches mixed with fierce competition and co-workers who complained that her wardrobe wasn't “designer” enough. The day she took the job, she says she felt like she had walked into Grimm's Fairy Tales. (Her friends had warned her that it was going to be a snake pit.) When the magazine unexpectedly folded on a Monday, she and her staff were told they had until Friday to clear out their offices. “Without warning,” she says, “our world collapsed.” —This episode is made possible by our friends at Mountain Gazette, Commercial Type, and Freeport Press.

If everyone – everyone! – knows that mercury does horrible things to children, why would anyone weaken the regulations that protect them from exposure? Dominique Browning, co-founder of Moms Clean Air Force, has an answer, and she expounds it eloquently at the Environmental Defense Fund. Music from Stephanie Jenkins and Ben Cosgrove.
It's never too late. Just ask Joey Grey, the Oscar-, Tony- and Golden Globe-winning actor, who discovered a new career in his 70s. Or the magazine editor who lost her job to the economy but gained a new life. Or the physician who is partnering with her patients to teach them how to prevent or even reverse diseases.
We speak with writer, editor, and environmentalist Dominique Browning ’77, a former editor of House & Garden magazine and a founder of Moms Clean Air Force, a program of the Environmental Defense Fund. “The one thing I advise everybody to do is find blue sky. Never stay in a place where you are being told explicitly you have a limit to your future."
This great episode of the Green Divas Radio Show features Dominique Browning, co-founder of Moms Clean Air Force as well as some great segments: Greenpeace GDs on Obama's Climate Legacy; Green Divas Foodie-Phile segment with Ashlee Piper about new vegan food technology; and a wonderful Inspired Green Divas with poet Kerri Nicole McCaffrey on being transgendered and the healing force of nature and poetry.
How does design relate to pollution? This week on After the Jump, Grace Bonney is talking about air pollution with Dominique Browning. Dominique has had a long and storied career in the publishing, editing, and design worlds, working at publications like Newsweek and House & Garden. Since then, Dominique has headed up Moms Clean Air Force, an organization that fights for the health of children by targeting indoor and outdoor air pollution. Did you know that certain chemicals used in furnishing can disrupt the human endocrine system or cause cancer? Find out how designers can learn from the new food movement and demand transparency! Tune in to hear Dominique talk about Moms Clean Air Force, and how the group gives women an outlet to flex their political power. Will sustainable household products ever become affordable for all? Find out all of this and more on this week’s edition of After the Jump! Thanks to our sponsor BluePrint Cleanse. “Indoor air pollution relates back to my work in the design world because there are all these things in our plastics, couches, fabrics, etc. These things cause cancer, or are endocrine disruptors.” [4:45] “Nobody in Washington wants to make mother angry… But we don’t exercise this power enough.” [19:40] — Dominique Browning on After the Jump
