Has 420 become cringe? Plus, with Earth Day fast-approaching, is there any good climate news and sasquatch is still a thing

He set up a table on Pearl Street to find climate hope and asked passersby if they had any good reasons to be optimistic about our climate.

After that, Lauren Hill talks about her recent piece, “Is 420 Cringe?” which reexamines the classic stoner holiday. Spoiler: she thinks it can still be chill.
