As education leaders, we cannot afford to limit our search for solutions to what we conventionally think of as

Climate change is amplifying existing inequities that disproportionately affect students of color, students from low-income backgrounds, and students with disabilities. What’s more, these students — many of whom lack consistent access to clean air and water and safe housing — are at greater risk of exposure to pollution that can worsen asthma and other health issues. They’re increasingly and understandably anxious about the climate crisis — as the stakes are high and they will likely bear the br

From the acclaimed environmentalist, Bill McKibben, Here Comes the Sun tells the story of the sudden spike in power from the sun and wind—and the desperate fight of the fossil fuel industry and their politicians to hold this new power at bay. From the everyday citizens who installed solar panels equal to a third of Pakistan’s electric grid in a year to the world’s sixth-largest economy—California—nearly halving its use of natural gas in the last two years, Bill McKibben traces the arrival of ple
