.@CUBoulder has a responsibility to do more than research and educate. We have to help close the gap between ideas and action for Colorado’s climate goals. Check out my latest op-ed in @BoulderRL, “How CU Boulder is building Colorado’s climate future”: bit.ly/3OQj6v2

I think that every day should be #EarthDay. Sustainability and protecting our planet are the responsibility of everyone, not just an individual or a university. Through action, we can cause change. Let’s do this.
