Meet the Green Change team. We invite you to go green and help fight climate change with us.
Our climate action network can help you reduce global warming in your own life, with the help of videos, local events, direct engagement and online tools. We inspire people to take climate action in creative ways: we make it feel good to go green, through helpful tips, positive feedback, and social connections.
Our growing team of activists, artists and environmentalists is led by multimedia innovator Fabrice Florin, with team leads Marilyn Price, Al Grumet and many friends and neighbors. We aim to support our partners in the North Bay climate action network.
Many thanks to all our contributos for your wonderful support of Green Change. We are honored to work with you and look forward to helping more people go green together.
Change is coming.

Changing Landscape
The scene around you recently changed—again. The landscape here has undergone several transitions in the past 150 years. Native Americans and settlers in the early 1800s saw solid forest, but in the late 1800s mining companies cut much of the timber.
When the Nuttallburg mine closed in 1958 nature took over again. But instead of native plants, non-natives invaded. Before this area could be opened to visitors, park workers spent hundreds of hours removing unwanted species, to be replaced with native plants such as wingstem and jewelweed.
This scene from early Nuttallburg and Kaymoor shows how mine sites in the gorge were typically free of vegetation. Mine leases often included the rights to the timber on the surface above the mine. Mine owners built sawmills and cut lumber for houses, mine structures, railroad ties, and timbers to support the mine roof.
Revealing Nuttallburg
The primary plant that invaded Nuttallburg was kudzu (Pueraria. lobata), an Asian vine. Removing it required a monumental effort.
Kudzu covered nearly everything.
When workers removed the kudzu, they discovered foundations and other remnants of Nuttallburg.
It is National Park Service policy, wherever feasible, to remove non-native plants and try to restore and maintain the landscape as it might have appeared in historic times.

While ACs can cool down the indoor temperature, they can increase outdoor temperatures by 2.4 degrees Celsius. This is a challenge at a time when the world is experiencing record-breaking temperatures.
That's why many experts believe that trees are important in urban spaces. Trees can reduce the need for ACs when they are near houses and apartments.
Trees also reduce the amount of solar radiation absorbed by asphalt and concrete. This means that the pavement stores less heat, ultimately bringing down the air temperature by as much as 1 degree Celsius. And the impact of one tree can be felt up to a few hundred meters around it.
The problem is, more than 75% of people in U.S. cities live in neighbourhoods with less than 20% tree cover.

Trying a tight crop, Leone-style. Here you can see the excellent details by sculptor Frank Gaylord. Full face.
I haven't seen many sculptures with eyes as real and as moving as this. Remember the Forgotten War.
