Summary: <br> Have you heard about #GivingTuesday? It is the antidote to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and is a time to support the non-profits and the causes you care about. We had the chance to catch up with MCAN’s Executive Director Carol Oldham. Listen in!<br> Please support our work fighting climate change and helping cities and towns be more sustainable with a one time or monthly gift. With your help, in 2016 we were able to: <br> • Host the Local Environmental Action Conference, with 450 attendees, 28 workshops, Jane Kleeb (the "keystone killer") as the keynote speaker, with our partners at the Toxics Action Center.<br> • Lead three Clean Energy tours of the Deer Island Anaerobic Digester facility, with attendees from a total of 36 towns.<br> • Produce webinars on the Paris climate accords, Acadia Center’s EnergyVision, and the Energy Omnibus bill.<br> • Run four Climate Change Movie Nights, showing “Merchants of Doubt” and inspiring short films by Lynne Cherry about kids and climate change. <br> • Work with many of you to submit letters to the editor in your local papers. You can find some of them here.<br> • Hold three educational carbon pricing forums.<br> Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.<br> Thanks for listening.<br> …Ted McIntyre<br> <a href="http://massclimateaction.podbean.com/mf/web/i2rba4/giving_Tuesday.m4a">Download Enhanced Podcast</a><br>
