Kudos to the Gazette for your decision to make climate change a regular part of your news coverage. While other news organizations, like disappointingly, NPR and our local affiliate NEPR, have shirked their responsibilities to cover what is the major threat to the survival of humankind on this planet, you have decided that this issue must be covered in a systematic way.

And you have done what you do best — with well-written stories about local heroes, from high school students to farmers, who are doing their best to address the climate emergency.
