This is the number one challenge of our lifetime. If we fail to make meaningful progress, our planet loses the ability to support our society. We are changing the climate and with it the organisms that rely on it.
What Can We Do?
The fight against human-caused climate change is an uphill battle and will take work in every aspect of society. As a result, it sometimes feels like there is little you can do that will have a tangible impact. There is nothing further from the truth. Read about the present and past leaders of our club and how they managed to have an impact from the local level, all the way up to the national level.
