Joan Baez once said that action is the antidote to despair. One quick and simple action we can all take is to contact Reps. Costa, McCarthy, McClintock or Nunes to urge them to do something big for climate, and support a price on carbon.
Many scientists and economists agree that putting a price on carbon would be the most effective way to reduce carbon emissions at the scale and speed required by the climate crisis.
