On this International Women’s Day, I’d like to give a shout out to the millions of women and girls who are working to slow climate change. Of course, there are some very famous women out there like Greta Thunberg, who are household names. But, if you’ve spent any time in or around climate activism, you know that the climate movement owes its very existence to women and girls.
At every level, from the White House to townhalls, from boardrooms to the streets, women and girls are working towards a more habitable future, often without much recognition or resources. Of course, among these is my amazing wife, Rebecca Collins who works every day to buy us more time to solve this problem.
I’ve seen this with my own eyes time and time again. One day it’s a rally organized by teen girls, the next it’s an strategy call run by retired women. Everywhere you look, women and girls are leading the way. I can’t express how grateful I am for the work that they have done and continue to do.
