Dear John,
The Fall 2023 edition of Ceres Works,
our biannual supporter newsletter, is here. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it, so grab a cup of coffee and give yourself a few minutes to catch up with the Ceres community updates. There’s an inspiring recap from the Ceres Climate Ride team, Climate Week pictures, and much more. |
