In these changing times it has become so important to remain politically active, stay informed, hold our politicians and corporations accountable, and keep on top of our representatives to make sure they are representing our best interests. Please, support the actions and issues that matter to YOU.
I will do my best to keep up with what is happening in our government and post the latest petitions and calls to action. Please, check in daily.
Make climate activism (yes, activism) one of your resolutions as we head into 2024. And start now by taking time before 11:59 p.m. tonight—just before the taco drops—to let Pima County know your thoughts, ideas, and concerns about our region and the city's future as we face down a hotter, drier future.Earlier this year, the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality received $1 million as part of the EPA's four-year Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG). The goal of the grant is to develop strategies on how to reduce GHG and other toxic emissions, all of which are harmful to the climate, the environment, and people. Children especially.
The county, in turn, is looking to the public for help with this all-important task, just as the City of Tucson has been doing since it declared a climate emergency in 2020.
