Let's talk climate, loud and clear. We've got an audience: Pima County
Details
"Tucson Talks Climate" debuts Dec. 21 for four weekly meetings that have one topic and purpose: to discuss what we want to see and need from Pima County as it prepares an official Climate Pollution Reduction Plan.
The opportunity to help guide our future knocks as we enter 2024. The county wants to hear about the community's climate concerns and thoughts on solutions to ensure the plan is on target and equitable for all county residents. The inquiry takes the form of an online Climate Pollution Reduction Plan questionnaire prepared by the county's Environmental Quality department.
Climate Tucson's climate conversation is taking the questionnaire a step further. While we ask that everyone fill out the questionnaire (see link below), we'll take the time to talk among ourselves about the questions asked and how they relate to the bigger picture of resilience and survival, Tucson style. Now is the time to express ourselves, loud and clear!
The stakes are high, so we'll also let the county know what we discussed during our conversations to ensure that our words are heard.
The first meeting is on Thursday, Dec. 21, the Winter Solstice and an appropriate time to ruminate on lighting the way to resilience. Tucson Talks Climate will continue for three more Thursdays, ending Jan. 11, 2024.
Meetings will begin at 6. They will be recorded, which is standard practice for Climate Tucson meetings. Agenda, notes and some talking point examples will be available before each meeting.
Don't miss the opportunity to speak your mind and heart to policymakers about the most important issue in our lives. There is no time to dally or delay. Climate change is here, we're living it, and we'll continue to be in its throes until we end our addiction to fossil fuels and the petrochemicals that have created a world suffocating in toxic plastic.
Deadline for completing the county questionnaire is Dec. 31. Also see QR code in photos. Please fill it out! Do your part in the climate fight.
