Something that impacts other people far away and that might impact future generations, but not us and our families. Little is known by the general public about how Climate Action doesn\u2019t just benefit the planet but also our health, our communities and our local economy. We have had wonderful scientists warning us of the risks of Climate Change but they have been unable to be the storytellers of the positive future that we can build today that doesn\u2019t hurt our planet and that relates directly to the people in our local area.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"><span><span>So that\u2019s what this project intends to do.
