Earth Day: Election Edition events are taking place this weekend
After months of preparation, the time has finally come — our Earth Day:
Election Edition events are taking place this weekend on Oct. 22.
This planet is so great that it needs two days, and there's no better
way to celebrate than by drawing attention to the importance of our
planet in the last three weeks before the midterm elections.
CCL chapters across the country have lots of great things planned.
CCLers in Gilbert, Arizona, will be tabling to share information about
the Inflation Reduction Act. CCL Silicon Valley will be registering
people to vote in the park around Lake Elizabeth. CCL Chicago will be
hosting an election-themed tabling event in their local farmer's market.
Check out the virtual and in-person events this Saturday, jump in, and
make climate an election issue!

take action on climate. Like and share this meme

Jacksonville volunteers write op-ed about Ian
CCL volunteers recently had an op-ed published in The Florida
Times-Union about the importance of addressing climate change to avoid
future hurricanes like Ian.
Joyce Tuten, a member of the Jacksonville chapter of Citizens' Climate
Lobby, and Dr. Adam Rosenblatt, who is the Jacksonville chapter leader
and an assistant professor at the University of North Florida, wrote the
op-ed in early October about the possibility of future climate
disasters.
"Hurricane Ian serves as yet another life-threatening, emergency call to
action. We can rebuild roads and put our homes up on stilts, but the
only permanent solution is to cut back on our use of fossil fuels and do
it as fast as we can," the duo wrote. "We need more legislation that
will reduce our use of fossil fuels even further…We must succeed at this
task; if not, when the next hurricane comes around our luck may run
out."
