MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • January 9, 2022
I’m a 12-year-old at a middle school. I’m a Mainer who loves winter. And I’m ready for climate action. We’re all tired of hearing pessimistic news surrounding various issues; but climate change is the “threat multiplier.” Climate change makes all the other issues worse, and it costs our lives and our home. We can do this, but only if we take it seriously and can have a team with a focus. Help our home, children and future by checking out Citizens’ Climate Lobby, a volunteer organization focused on climate change. We’re pushing for a carbon fee, charged to polluter companies, and a dividend check returned to everyone. Just go to cclusa.org/take-action for quick and easy to-dos that benefit us all. Wouldn’t you like to be a part of the first few steps? ~ Thea Dugas
