Global warming is no fiction.

 

Respect to all the young and old climate marchers.

There are many haters of the current #youthforclimate movement on the social media.. and those haters are usually the 1st ones to complain about the heatwaves, floodings, storm winds, drought, monsoonlike rain, extreme weather, dirty beaches and all the other examples of the changing climate and the environmental degradation.

Humanity is responsible for both so humanity should work towards solutions and the young are the engine of change.

A conversation with Rep. Kathy Castor, Chair, House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis

 

Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL) chairs the newly created House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.

 

Climate change has reemerged as a top priority on Capitol Hill — and the conversation has matured from whether to take action to how.

Hundreds of young activists joined an inspiring Youth Climate Strike in Santa Rosa, to demand action on climate change.

 

This North Bay strike was organized by young climate activists Lucy London and Kelley Tillman, along with their peers at the Novato High Earth Club. They gave speeches, sang together, made posters, marched on City Hall and created a beautiful mosaic to honor mother earth.

 

Over a million students around the world skipped school this Friday to protest government inaction on climate change, with thousands of rallies in 125 countries, making it the largest youth climate action in history.

 

Their peaceful demonstration in Santa Rosa was very moving: these young people are sweet, smart, articulate, dedicated and they share an amazing creative energy and love for the earth. I want to be like them when I grow up!

 

Our Green Change team supported their youth action by providing a sound system, a large earth globe, and shooting videos and photos of their uprising. Thanks to our crew members Sarah Acker and Marilyn Price for their invaluable support of this important cause. :)

 

In coming weeks, I will create a special video story featuring Lucy, Kelley and their friends for Climate Heroes, our new series on the new leaders of the green revolution.

 

Even though this was a youth-led event, they welcomed the help of adult allies like us. It was a pleasure to join forces with these young leaders to fight for climate action together, across generations!

Green Change hosted a Clean Energy Meetup in Mill Valley on June 12, 2019.

 

This community meetup was moderated by Fabrice Florin and featured these guest speakers:

• Ryan Maecker from Marin Clean Energy (MCE) on their Deep Green 100% Renewable Electricity

• Alexandra Ramey from Rising Sun Center for Opportunity on their Green House Call Service

 

We presented three climate actions that people can take to use clean energy in their own homes:

• Use Renewable Electricity

• Get a Home Energy Checkup

• Install Solar Panels

 

After the talks, we discussed our personal experiences about using clean energy in our homes and connected experts with people who are just getting started. Solar energy developer David Kunhardt shared helpful tips about installing solar panels and answered questions from participants considering this home improvement. Other participants shared practical information about using renewable energy in their own lives and helping their communities do the same.

 

This free community event took place at the Sewerage Agency of Southern Marin (SASM) at 450 Sycamore Avenue in Mill Valley, across from the MV Middle School.

Meet the young Sunrise activists who marched 260 miles from Paradise to San Francisco, to ask our leaders for bold climate action.

 

We caught up with them at the Marin Civic Center in San Rafael, where local climate activists led by our partner Kevin Morrison greeted them with a fine vegan lunch and tributes.

 

Young activists featured in this photo set include Ema Govea, June Guthrie, Lola Guthrie, Vianni Ledesma, and many more. They came to join this two-week march from San Diego, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol and beyond.

 

In their talks and video interviews with me, they spoke about their fight for a more just and sustainable world. We told us why they promote a new Civilian Climate Corps, as the first step towards a Green New Deal.

 

I was impressed by their their passion and clear thinking, and am grateful to this “Generation on Fire” for leading the charge!

This North Bay strike was organized by young climate activists Lucy London and Kelley Tillman, along with their peers at the Novato High Earth Club. They gave speeches, sang together, made posters, marched on City Hall and created a beautiful mosaic to honor mother earth.

 

Over a million students around the world skipped school this Friday to protest government inaction on climate change, with thousands of rallies in 125 countries, making it the largest youth climate action in history.

 

Their peaceful demonstration in Santa Rosa was very moving: these young people are sweet, smart, articulate, dedicated and they share an amazing creative energy and love for the earth. I want to be like them when I grow up!

 

Our Green Change team supported their youth action by providing a sound system, a large earth globe, and shooting videos and photos of their uprising. Thanks to our crew members Sarah Acker and Marilyn Price for their invaluable support of this important cause. :)

 

In coming weeks, I will create a special video story featuring Lucy, Kelley and their friends for Climate Heroes, our new series on the new leaders of the green revolution.

 

Even though this was a youth-led event, they welcomed the help of adult allies like us. It was a pleasure to join forces with these young leaders to fight for climate action together, across generations!

Over a thousand people of all ages joined our Earth Day celebration, to enjoy informative exhibits and activities, fine art, good food, inspiring talks and music. We invited participants to help create a better world by taking actions such as: use clean energy, eat sustainably, live lightly and build healthy communities.

 

Thanks to everyone who made Earth 2050 possible, including our wonderful exhibitors, artists, musicians, speakers, volunteers and team members! Special thanks to our partners at Mill Valley Recreation and to all our sponsors, including Good Earth, Marin Water, MCE, Mill Valley Refuse and Straus Family Creamery, to name but a few. We loved your thoughtful participation and hope you found this event as fulfilling as we did. :)

 

We’re particularly grateful to all our volunteer photographers and videographers, who graciously captured the spirit of our community celebration through images like this one.
