This continued inaction, spurred on by the complete void of American leadership, is beyond frustrating. Saving “the thorniest issues” for next year’s summit is wasting time we don’t have. We need leaders at all levels who prioritize #ClimateActionNow wral.com/un-climate-talks-li…

Great presentation on the opportunities presented by bold #ClimateAction policies like the #GreenNewDeal and the differences in #2020Election candidate plans – at Chapel Hill, NC

In the first 100 days of the FDR administration government moved quickly and passed 12 major bills to begin action on the New Deal. We transformed our country in a 5-7 period of years. A #GreenNewDeal can be done - but we need the political will to demand it.

These environmentally driven students have not been idle! Their campaign to get parents to shut off their engines in the school pick-up lines is sending the message loud and clear. Way to go, Green Team.
