Good morning! Happy Sunday! By now you probably know that every Sunday I donate my social media to my @YearsofLiving team to talk about carbon pricing! Please read these posts and PLEASE get involved!!! Below is a post from Gari De Ramos, a student at Clark University. “I was born in the Philippines, where I have spent only a small fraction of my life, but long enough for it to influence my views about climate change and developing countries. A drive from home to the mall in Manila should take no more than 20 minutes, given the distance. But because of traffic, hundreds of vehicles just sit there emitting toxins into the air.

Climate injustice  exists not just on the global scale, but also in my local community of Worcester, MA. I became involved with Our Climate to organize youth in support of carbon pricing policies in Massachusetts, where I was encouraged to see politicians wanting to equitably distribute the funds made from carbon pricing. I’m thankful my work with Our Climate included bringing social justice groups together at a community art event in Boston, but carbon pricing — and being in Boston — felt detached from the immediate concerns of my neighborhood.

Since moving to the US, I’ve had the fortune to meet with local environmental justice organizers in my area. They work to break the barriers low-income communities and communities of color face in accessing clean energy. There is beautiful work being done in these communities, but we need to bring these solutions and mindsets to the larger policy debate.

There are huge local, national, and global networks of advocates working to combat climate change. While it may be easier for politicians to grasp the need for environmental and climate justice by looking locally, we cannot leave the developing world behind.”
