Green Rocks has a chat

A space to share mining stories and wrestle with climate action.

On Friday I sent out the first Green Rocks chat. On the Substack App, I started a thread on the protection of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters, which puts up a significant barrier to the Twin Metals nickel-copper mine. There was a lot of discussion over on Twitter about it, and the chat offers a way for all 1,400 of us to share resources and discuss topics like this.

But I may have forgotten to let you all know. So here’s the formal notice: Green Rocks has a chat now. To join, just download the phone app. Substack also has a tutorial below.

I’m interested in your views on how to use it. I can start threads on specific, major stories, or we can begin threads on regions of individual metals/materials. Any subscriber can contribute; just keep it civil. Chats are sent via the app, not email, so you may want to turn on push notifications to avoid missing a conversation as it happens.

Here’s what it looks like:

3. That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
