Climate Allies – Local – Part 1

Until now, this column has had two threads: the psychological and spiritual aspect of climate change and lifestyle changes individuals can make to decrease their carbon footprint.

Climate scientists agree that climate change is too rapid to rely only on lifestyle changes. We also need broad policy shifts and action at all levels. Our new theme is designed to help you identify local to international climate allies that can help light your way and lift you up.
