HomeMy WebLinkAbout20231011 - Sustainability Advisory Board - Green New Deal for SchoolsThe climate crisis is getting worse EVERY DAY. And it hurts poor, working class, black and brown communities first & worst. IN OUR LIFETIMES THE WORLD WILL BECOME UNRECOGNIZABLE The climate crisis is making other crises WORSE ●Makes food more expensive, as droughts and floods hit crops ●Makes housing and insurance more expensive ●Housing that is cheaper / already needs repairs is worse affected in times of climate disasters. ●Heatwaves, floods, blizzards all affect poor, black and brown neighborhoods most -the neighborhoods with less trees for shade, less well kept drains, where the power company is least likely to fix the power. ●Poverty & crime will increase as climate crisis gets worse ●Healthcare costs & insurance will increase as more people have health problems. We can’t just stop the climate crisis, we need to take care of our people along the way.
