Climate Ambassadors party

The City of Somerville started a Climate Ambassadors program earlier this year, bringing together 20 individuals to learn about climate impact and action together for a six-month period. Today, I attended the closing party for this cohort of Climate Ambassadors. Their projects were amazing, from a crochet timeline of temperatures in Boston from 1896 to 2018, to a spoken word presentation, to a market analysis of how Somervillen’s transport themselves around the city. Today, I also ran over from the Climate Ambassadors party to the City Council hearing. I witness history when the Council passed the zoning overhaul, just seven years in the making.
