Paraphrasing Dr. Kate Marvel, it
takes courage to have the resolve to do what needs to be done when there’s no guarantee of a happy ending.
Let’s talk about the changes we see happening around us.
Let’s get ready to roll up our shirt sleeves and our pants and work together as a community!
In times of rising temperatures and extreme weather, let’s find inspiration and determination, come hell and high water.
One of our favorite climate scientists, Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, offers some important insight:
"The simplest way to start making a difference on climate change is easy: just talk about it!
But when you do, it’s best to skip the scary, abstract facts about melting ice sheets or record-breaking global temperatures. Nobody wants a lecture…
Focus on what connects us. Speak from the heart. Share why climate change matters to the places and things we care about. Talk about how it’s already affecting the people you love, and don’t forget to highlight examples of real solutions."
