Nika Elugardo will start us off by speaking briefly about state-level policy to combat climate change and build resilience to the coming impacts of global warming, including sea level rise, flooding, and volatile weather.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Deane Coady, one of the organizers of Mothers Out Front Brookline <a href=\"https:\/\/ma.mothersoutfront.org\/brookline\">https:\/\/ma.mothersoutfront.org\/brookline<\/a>] will provide information on key actions we all can take, such as opting in for <a href=\"https:\/\/ma.mothersoutfront.org\/green_electricity\">100% green electricity<\/a> on our utility bills; walking, biking, and driving electric vehicles; saving money and fuel by making homes more\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ma.mothersoutfront.org\/massachusetts_energy_efficiency\">energy-efficient<\/a>; and <a href=\"https:\/\/ma.mothersoutfront.org\/composting\">compost<\/a>ing.<\/p>\n<p>We will then hear perspectives from three Brookline youth who are taking action. BHS students Anjali Mitra, Konah Brownell, and Saya Ameli each have a compelling story to share with us \u2013 a personal connection to climate change, a Liberian refugee forced to flee due to the palm-oil industry, an Iranian child seeing the sun for the first time in Tehran &#8211; all experiences which have led them to become champions of the environment in their own right.
