ClimateLink - great community in SF, Seattle, NYC
-
Discovered this great community in SF last night. https://www.meetup.com/pro/ClimateLink/
Project Drawdown's director gave a presentation.
Key takeaways
- no more time to wait for governments. They are failing us. The people need to act.
- need to change the wording surrounding climate change. For example replacing "sustainable" with "thriving," evoking greater emotional responses in people.
- need to awaken leadership within all of us, to stir the story of climate change towards hope - and away from the current state of despair.

@l42 seeing as how it was in SF, was the community mostly made up of tech people? Anyone else?
-
Pretty diverse actually. Engineers, but also marketing, finance... The day I went they were partnering with another group called "Data Science for Sustainability" I believe, which was obviously mostly populated with engineers.

@l42 Awesome thanks! I'm curious about these kinds of meetups. Have you since gone to any others? Wonder if they could collaborate together maybe using a platform like this?
