CLT and Climate Change
Climate Change, reiterated
The topic of climate change is huge and complex. There is no simple explanation, no simple solution. Climate change is not a massive, cataclysmic event, but a succession of subtle changes, many quite invisible to people. The impacts are local, not the same everywhere, yet our Earth is one. A climate disaster may not directly strike Connecticut, but the aftershocks certainly will, one way or another. Similarly, consider how the pandemic has affected the supply chain! As such, it behooves us (local land trusts) to take up the challenge of communicating the subject to our members and potential members.
"That the situation appears hopeless should not prevent us from doing our best." -- Aldo Leopold
