Wear a green ribbon for the climate
Here I sat, watching the Paris climate summit go by and feeling helpless as it started to look like one more useless, inconclusive worldwide meeting on this most-important issue. James Hansen, climate scientist, has said the meeting is “a total fraud.” Hansen’s part starts at about 29:30.
Then I heard about the campaign to wear green ribbons to support real action at the climate summit.
My reaction when I heard about the campaign was, “What a nice way to make myself feel better while not doing anything.” But is it? The climate summit, on which depends the future of the human race on this planet, is way underreported; many people (the ones I meet, anyway) have no clue that it’s even happening. The more people become aware of the issue, the more pressure will be on governments around the world to do what we need: commit to a plan that will work to limit emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases to preserve our coastal areas from going under water and our farms from becoming too hot to grow crops.
Here are suggestions for who to do the green ribbon thing: how to fold the ribbon, how to explain what you’re up to, etc.
Spreading the word about the climate crisis is something real you can do for the future of earth’s inhabitants.
