Huge congrats to these amazing youth leaders!! Like many, many others, I am utterly inspired by your efforts and example!

@MaryHeglar I wrote this about climate anxiety as a mom of a young child after Paradise, which is just an hour away from where we live... Not exactly a favorite but I do think it's so important to share how hard it can feel to be human atm. Thanks for asking! yaleclimateconnections.org/2019/11/essay-…

e.g., there is a fire nearby, the contingency lines have been burned through, and there are limited air resources b/c so many other fires are happening elsewhere in the state right now. Plus wind and record heat. Etc.
