![]() Getting to Know You The students worked with a representative from the partnerships program at the Yale Program on Climate Change Communications (YPCCC) to construct their survey, analyze the results, and develop findings and strategies they presented to us in early December. We gained great insights, including the following:
Making you alarmed is not the goal. We exist to help you take action and to connect with a community of experts and early adopters who can help each other to apply climate solutions in their lives. We're All in This Together
A key takeaway for us from the student's report is that a large percentage of you already understand the urgency of the climate crisis and are looking for concrete, practical solutions you can apply. Making you alarmed is not the goal. We exist to help you take action and to connect with a community of experts and early adopters who can help each other to apply climate solutions in their lives. And especially to share the solutions that not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also save money and make energy more affordable for everyone. We are continuing to work with the YPCCC Partnerships Program to leverage their deep knowledge on how to effectively communicate about climate change in ways that shift the conversation from problems to solutions and mobilize communities for action. We are also extremely excited that one of students, Kendall Lippe has volunteered to continue working with us on implementing the strategies she and the team have recommended. We have the opportunity to build a richer, more collaborative community of early adopters and experts in Newton County to assist one another. Look to hear more from us soon, but also please reach out to us if you have ideas and suggestions. We all move forward together!
