Dear John, Like you, I'm quarantined on the 50th anniversary of Earth Month. I occupy a roughly 10-square-block universe around my house. Yet I’ve discovered new activities that give me the power to act locally – and I mean inside my house and neighborhood – while keeping global climate change at the center of my activist life. Now, I’d like to share with you how you can get involved.
