GOOD NEWS:<\/strong>
Your voices to the Austin City Council have made a difference. Council Members are looking seriously at the Generation and Climate Protection Plan<\/span> our community has produced as an alternative to the methane\/gas-potential hydrogen generation plant AE wants.<\/p>\n

THANK YOU! \u00a0We are told Austin Energy (AE) has backed off until community voices quiet down then AE will try again. Want to keep up the pressure ?
Send Mayor Watson and the members of the Austin City Council an email to<\/strong> support the advisory group\u2019s clean energy pla<\/strong>n<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Green Sanctuary Readers, here is a snippet from Climate Scientist and Texan, Katharine Hayhoe. You can read more at her hands on free climate newsletter:\u00a0talkingclimatenewsletter@outlook.com<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hardly anyone cares about climate change\u2026 right? Wrong! New research<\/a><\/span><\/strong> shows that 86 percent agree that people in their country should try to fight global warming and 89 percent say they want more action from their governments. These results are based on a survey of more than 130,000 people in 125 countries around the world.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the even more interesting part, though: the same study found that people around the globe also underestimate how much their fellow humans support climate action<\/strong>. For example, 69 percent say they are willing to pay 1 percent of their monthly income to aid in the fight, but they think only 43 percent would agree with them. And I would bet a big part of that gap is because, in most countries around the world, it\u2019s rare<\/strong> for people to hear about climate change<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. We just don\u2019t talk about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
