I really liked this political cartoon Gretta Thunberg posted on social media. It's a good reminder that we have to be the ones to lead on climate action. Governmental conferences like the upcoming COP 26 this November can be an opportunity for new climate agreements and legislation, but none of it matters if it's only greenwashing with no real steps taken towards reducing carbon emissions. Now it's time for politicians and individuals to take real action. There have already been too many fake conferences and panels on environmental protection.
Yesterday was MLK day, an important national holiday. We celebrate MLK day to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr and his action against racism in our society and access to equal opportunity. Environmental justice is a link between both race and environmental problems, do we think this next administration will be better at making progress in both areas?
To end the slide show part of the meeting we give ideas about what environmental action students can take on campus.
Thank you to Alyssa for slide 2. Thanks for reading!
