In November, Coloradans approved an initiative to reintroduce gray wolves by 2023. The gray wolf was hunted to extinction in Colorado, and this is the first time a state has voted to bring back a threatened species. Last year saw other bright spots for animals: Kenya announced that its elephant population had doubled in the past 30 years, and the U.S. fossil-fuel industry’s permits for seismic blasting off the Atlantic coast expired, sparing marine species life-threatening noise pollution. —Sophie Murguia
Biodegradable Gear Is Finally Here
In 2018, PrimaLoft announced that it had created the world’s first biodegradable insulation. The synthetic fill, called Bio, has a sugar-like coating that encourages microbes to start breaking it down once it hits a landfill or an ocean, but not before. The only by-products? Water, carbon dioxide, methane, and humus (decayed organic matter). Starting last fall, customers were able to buy jackets incorporating the fill in products from Jack Wolfskin, Maloja, Norrøna, and Reusch. —Ariella Gintzler

Everything Our Editors Loved in April

In April,
Outside editors caught up on Oscar-nominated documentaries, found comfort in the soothing voice of an NPR host, and prepped for our summer getaways by reading about sunnier places and watching surprisingly heartwarming Vrbo ads. Here’s everything we loved this month.
What We Read
This month, I read
Madness, Rack, and Honey, a collection of lectures by poet Mary Ruefle, which I bought after reading her incredible essay “Dear Friends” in the
Sewanee Review. For 15 years, starting in 1994, Ruefle gave intermittent lectures, loosely about poetry, to groups of graduate students, which were later collected here. Each has its own subject—secrets, for instance, or fear—but they’re all really about how to

Everything Our Editors Loved in February

As we shivered our way through February and awaited warmer weather,
Outside editors spent time with dystopian fiction, award-winning films, and moody Fiona Apple songs. Here are the books, music, and movies we enjoyed most last month—plus one virtual film festival we can’t wait to see in March.
What We Read
Last month I read
The Memory Police, a novel by Japanese author Yoko Ogawa that was published in 1994 but translated into English last year. My roommate got this book from the library and loved it so much that she passed it to my other roommate, who in turn passed it to me. It’s well overdue by now, but it’s worth the fine. The story centers on a writer living on a small island where things keep disappearing. A loosely drawn fascist

Everything Our Editors Loved in December

Outside:
while some of us spent our holidays with prize-winning novels and essay collections, others turned to screen adaptations of beloved books. Here’s everything that kept us entertained in the final days of 2020.
What We Read
I just read
Girl, Woman, Other, by Bernardine Evaristo, and I can’t recommend it enough. The novel won the Booker Prize in 2019, making Evaristo the first Black woman to have received the honor. Her writing is engaging and singular: there’s little punctuation, and she often breaks up her sentences like poems. The novel focuses on 12 characters, primarily Black British women, some of whom are clearly connected to others and some seemingly peripheral. Evaristo crafts a narrative that spans generations, with each chapter following the life of a different character. Despite the unique structure and style, it’s approachable and compelling—I finished all 450-plus pages in five days. —Abbie Barronian, associate editor
