Climate Week NYC 2021

September 20-26, 2021

 

CLIMATE. Challenges. Choices. Consequences.

 

“I think one of the most important things for people to understand

is that don’t feel helpless

when you look at all the problems in the world.

Realize that if you think about the consequences of the small choices

that you make each day

What you buy, what you eat, what you wear

Where did it come from, how was it made.

Did it harm the environment?

In the end it’s hundreds of millions

of people making small choices that are the right choices

that leads us to a new kind of world.”         ----Jane Goddall
