You can make a difference to the hurt being caused by climate chaos and the great extinction event, in your town or your city! How? Reuse, repurpose, and recycle this information.
This is the letter for week 23 of a weekly climate strike that went on for 4 years in front of San Francisco City Hall, beginning early March 2019. For more context, see this story. For an annotated table of contents to see topics for all the strike letters, see this story.
STRIKE FOR THE PLANET
because very little of what we have to do is new.
This week’s annotated list is WHERE TO FIND EXAMPLES FOR ACTION.
We must act now, while action can still accomplish anything. Fortunately, most of the actions we have to take have already been taken somewhere else. Detailed information about each of these topics is in prior strike letters; this list is a reference to other places that are working concretely on these issues, places that can provide help, information, examples, and warnings.
In alphabetical order by subject:
Environmental justice
Investment (money)
Light pollution
Local recycling
Ocean
Recycling water
Transportation
We only have 69 weeks left to start taking action, and we know from multiple prior examples that, when it comes to the climate crisis and the current extinction event, the best timelines are ridiculously optimistic at best. We have 69 weeks to make plans, raise capital, begin work, even finish some of the easier projects –we have to start now. The groups above have started. Contact them. Follow their leads. What more do you need? Do it now!
