The CLIMATE CRISIS & 2022

The purest measure of our warming planet, unaffected by weather cycles, is ocean heat content.  And ocean heat content in 2021 was the  highest in recorded history.  Federal climate legislation is faltering, thus city level solutions become even more important. 

Some of our activities include: 
  • Feb. 7:      Styrofoam Party with City of Waco
  • Ongoing:  Commenting on climate solutions at City Council & Sustainability Board meetings.
  • late Feb.:  Virtual Reception with Awards for Climate Crisis Exhibit.
  • April 23:   9th Annual Reusable Shopping Bag Distribution at Farmer's Market
  • Soon:        Announcement of new 2022 climate initiative.
