West Marin Climate Action is reaching out to community groups and individuals in our bioregion for active support and involvement.
“I am so privileged and proud to be a part of this team. There is such communal joy in working together. Everyone is committed and generous with their time and energy – stepping up and contributing to filling all tasks that need to be done. There are many “moving parts” to a community event like this. It’s been a learning experience of love, camaraderie, and caring for each other. I feel we’ve cultivated joy and compassion to find solutions: it’s metaphorically like the old community barn-building.” - Bing Gong, November 2019
“The work of West Marin Climate Action is important as it builds bridges, not walls in our community around our biggest challenge, the climate crisis. West Marin will face unique challenges now and in the future due to this crisis. Now is the time to come together, find solutions, and implement collective actions to build community resilience.“ - Morgan Patton, May 2020
“I greatly appreciate living in a community where neighbors aren't afraid to look squarely at the truth of where we are, and still have the courage to dream better dreams of where we can go. The members of West Marin Climate Action continue to be leaders in both of these characteristics, paving the way for hope with actionable steps towards a healthy planet." - June (McCrory) Staal-Robles, May 2020
“This planet is the place where everyone in the world will live out their days, for better or for worse. It is the one thing that will be a constant not just for humankind but also for this community. We as a community cannot ignore this, for if we do, we ignore the very thing that makes us human. That humanity is our ability to work together for a greater cause. This is why climate change is so important to me and so many people. Not because it’s something that I want to do but because it’s something that must be done. Not just for ourselves and our community but also for future generations and the planet.” – Buddy Faure, June 2020
