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. We've added this "climate wins" section to our weekly newsletter to counterbalance the bad news and reinvigorate our community in this good and hard work by celebrating wins.
Los Angeles will build world's largest wildlife bridge across 10-lane highway. The project, slated to be completed in 2025, will stretch 210 feet over 10 lanes of highway and pavement, providing room for mountain lions and other animals hemmed in by urban sprawl to roam.
75,000 people flooded the streets in NYC yesterday to demand climate action and the end to fossil fuels. Below, twenty Dartmouth students traveled south to join the march!
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.
