Voting in local elections is critical for ensuring the best possible representation in the laws and actions that affect your daily life. Engaging with local projects and public hearings can deepen your connection to your community while fostering meaningful change.
Recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings have weakened the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to fight pollution, making the fight against climate change feel hopeless. However, opportunities for involvement at a local level remain significant, especially in areas committed to reducing greenhouse gases.
Cities with established climate committees offer a way for residents to engage in local climate initiatives. Residents can reach out to these committees for support or attend town meetings to inquire about resilience and adaptation strategies.
Joining local advocacy groups or even just offering support can impact climate action in your community. If no groups exist, attending town board meetings to speak with elected officials can shed light on climate policy initiatives.
