Issue: November 19, 2015
Morning, readers!
The world is gearing up for the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Paris
starting at the end of this month. In preparation for it, the News &
Review--along with alternative newsmedia around the country--solicited
writings from authors, scientists, artists and scholars. We've dubbed this
project Letters to the Future, as each piece is a letter to the writer's
future generations. Enjoy.
In other news: Two local environmentalists join forces to launch a local
chapter of 350.org, whose focus is climate change, in preparation for those
Paris talks (here's how you can get involved!); the City Council nixes a
proposal for managing the airport; longtime Chico business Woof & Poof
prepares to call it quits; and local outdoor advocates form a partnership
of educators just to get kids outside a little more.
Read on!
