A climate story by Climate Stories Ambassador Ken Pitts of Portland, Oregon.
As an Ambassador, you'll record your own climate story and record 1-3 climate story interviews with people in your own community during a 3-month time span. Following the initial online training, you'll take part in two additional online meetings to discuss your progress with other Ambassadors and learn from each other about using climate storytelling to promote an effective response to the climate crisis.
Participation is free and open to all. Ambassadors who submit their own story and at least one interview will receive a certificate of completion of the Climate Stories Ambassadors initiative. |
Featured Climate Story: Sarah R. Johnson, Basalt, Colorado
|
This week our featured climate story comes from Climate Stories Ambassador Sarah R. Johnson. Sarah begins her climate story by reflecting on the extraordinary snowfall in the winter she was born and how she will likely never experience such snowfall again in her lifetime.
As a park ranger and environmental educator, Sarah works to educate people about the sustained mega-drought and the significance of water in the US west. She sees warming rivers, and the smokey haze of wildfires as evidence of climate change in her community. Be sure to listen to this impactful story! |
