What We're Up To
Accelerate Climate Solutions has been out in the community, inspiring action and educating about climate solutions. In October, Executive Director Catherine Clarkin and BLAST Participant Jimena Argueta had the honor of presenting Climate Anxiety: Sharing Our Feelings and Finding Connection to the Sierra Club River Prairie Group.
In early November, we partnered with Naperville Neighbors United to bring a screening of Future Council and a youth panel discussion to the community. The panel featured BLAST students Andrea Ramirez, Jimena Argueta, Rakshita Ruparel, Adi Julka, and Helen Banas.
And on November 17, Catherine Clarkin and Youth Program Specialist Julie Wachowski shared a program about involving students in climate action and combatting climate anxiety at the Northern Illinois Science Educators Conferenc.
