In this YouTube the conversation in 2:43 minutes and lasts over 1 hour. In it Bernie Sanders and AOC talk to Bill McKibben of 350.org who has been fighting the fossil fuel mafia (“industry”) for decades, David Wallace-Wells, who wrote .The Uninhabitable Earth, and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse about the climate crisis and what we can possibly do. In my opinion they get the fact that we are close to a climate catastrophe because the emissions from burning fossil fuels that we need to stop ASAP to survive a worsening situation that will become disastrous if we gat past the point of no return if for example methane starts being released in the permafrost in Canada and Siberia because of global warming. https://lnkd.in/gMWAkjZA...

Have you heard about this initiative from B Local Bay Area, the Climate Justice Action Journey? I recently downloaded the Climate Justice Toolkit so I can learn more about the intersectionality of racial justice and climate change. Taking this step to educate myself and sharing these resources with our team is just the first baby step of our commitment to integrating impactful climate justice practices into our business. I encourage anyone else with an interest in this space to start with this download too. What I know so far is that the intersectionality of climate change and racial justice underscores the disproportionate impact of environmental degradation on marginalized communities. Addressing both challenges necessitates inclusive and equitable solutions to foster a sustainable future that benefits all members of society. Businesses can play a pivotal role by adopting sustainable practices, promoting diversity and inclusion within their workforce and supply chains, and actively supporting initiatives that address climate change and advance racial justice in the communities they serve. Thanks to our Managing Partner Marie and the B Local team who put a ton of effort into creating this journey, and to our friends at Beneficial State Bank for sponsoring it! #climatejustice #diversityinclusion #bcorp
