They're a great #START.

Now let's move on using the #GreenNewDeal framework (greennewdealnetwork.org/) & ensure decisions are made with communities, not for communities.

And let's make sure we look at life-cycle costs and impacts. Too many solutions look only at GHG reductions, ignoring #EnergyEfficiency and other effects (eg for E-SUVs, particulate pollution, increased road damage, increased risk of fatalities in collisions with bikes & pedestrians - all weight related)

And energy efficiency is important, as it impacts needed capital investment in renewable energy generation and storage.

Green New Deal NetworkGreen New deal NetworkWe bring together frontline communities, labor organizers, and climate activists from all across the country to drive massive public investments towards a Green New Deal at all scales of government.

"Tornadoes in Iowa last week left at least five people dead and dozens injured. Storms killed eight people in Houston earlier this month. The severe thunderstorms and deadly twisters have spawned during a historically bad season for tornadoes, at a time when #climatechange contributes to the severity of storms around the world. April had the second-highest number of tornadoes on record in the country."

The New York Times · At a Dinner, Trump Assailed Climate Rules and Asked $1 Billion From Big OilBy Lisa Friedman

This essay by resonates with me. Throughout my life, I have been happiest & healthiest when most focused on creative work, community, and positive action for the common good. If we focus on what we have to gain from confronting climate change and wake up from our fear and despair, the possibilities open up.

The Washington Post · What if climate change meant not doom — but abundance?By Rebecca Solnit

This really doesn’t sound good at all: “This is the 17th year that NOAA has been compiling this comprehensive, peer-reviewed research on the Arctic, and the length of the report card format really helps to drive home the gravity of some of these yearly metrics that, in isolation, don’t seem as extreme as in other years.”
