Be the tax - The Climate Minute Podcast

What do the activists hanging from the bridge in Portland, the ‘ten guys with a Twitter account” opposing the Boston Olympics and the Black Lives movement have in common? They spoke up to force a discussion of important issues. As Frederick Douglass once said “Power concedes nothing without a demand.” Climate Hawks made a demand at this week’s solar rally at the State House. Here in Massachusetts, we need to raise the solar energy limits to ensure a vibrant clean energy market.

The reading list.
•    Activists dangle from a bridge to block Shell's icebreaker from leaving Portland.
•    Boston's Olympic bid is withdrawn. (Note MCAN's Executive Director Carol Oldham is interviewed!)
•    Activists challenge the candidates
•    Gov. Baker proposes solar legislation on day of activist rally. A coincidence?
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.
Thanks for listening.
