  1. State legislatures are often strongholds of public input, and should be, given their more immediate impact on local laws and policies.

Here's where Kansas is right now. #Legislatures #Kansas #PublicPolicy #HPPR hppr.org/hppr-news/2026-04-17/

  5. "From a climate perspective, you should always use something fully, in my opinion, before you recycle it,” Leach said. “Both reuse and recycling is going to reduce the impact of mining primary material … because every type of mining and extraction of natural resources has its downsides.'" Amen to that! #EVBatteries #Reuse #Recycle #HPPR

  9. “The academy needs courageous faculty who are not afraid to research, write about, or teach topics that some may shy away from because they are labeled as controversial — to ask and investigate unasked and unanswered questions...." Agreed. #AcademicFreedom is critical. I'm afraid this isn't the only state where these fears exist. Glad to see #HPPR address these multistate issues. #PublicRadio (posted edited to fix link to the story)
