CLIMATE WINS
So much of our media is mired in gloom and doom–and don't get us wrong, there's a lot to be wary of when it comes to our fight for a just, livable future in the face of intensifying injustices and climate change. But, there's also SO much good work being done, too, that rarely gets highlighted. Celebrating Climate Wins counterbalances the bad news and reinvigorates our community in this good and hard work.
Earlier this month, the largest dam removal in history began. Experts believe the removal process will begin to restore the Klamath River and its salmon population. Read more about the historic event here.
If you've got a climate win you're excited about, big or small, email us at sustainable.dartmouth@dartmouth.edu, and we'll include it in next week's newsletter! According to the IPCC, every action that prevents further degrees of global warming, no matter what scale, is meaningful.
OTHER EVENTS
Below, find events from other campus and local organizations related to sustainability, climate, and social justice!
