I just wrote another blog post for the Alliance for Climate Education on my experiences with high school and college climate activism. Check it out!

I just found this UNEP report called “Keeping Track of Our Changing Environment.” It focuses on different environmental areas–climate change, water, forests, biodiversity, etc..–and documents the changes over the past century. The report is filled with detailed data, and it is definitely worth a read.
I wanted to share this quote with you from Francesco Petrarch’s Invectives.
“For it is one thing to know, and another to love; one thing to understand, and another to will.”
Each human being on this planet is connected to nature. Whether we understand this or are just learning, there is an inextricable link between our fate and that of Mother Nature. The environmental movement is not just about reducing carbon emissions and installing LED light-bulbs. On a more fundamental level, the movement is about redefining how humanity interacts with nature. We are trying to find new ways to continue economic prosperity while ensuring ecological and social justice. This shift involves every single person. While we may understand the need, it is something entirely different “to will,” to act, to change. So let’s think about what we know and how we can apply it. Let’s figure out ways to help our planet and ensure well-being for all. Let’s work together to turn knowledge into action.
I wrote another op-ed this week for The Harvard Crimson on the importance and actualization of a green economy. Here’s the link:

Thank you!
I just wrote this op-ed for Next Gen Journal on the need for environmental education in America. Only with education can action be sustained.
