** Climate Justice
------------------------------------------------------------

Last week, I spoke about literature and climate with two other writers at a nature center in Ohio. A feeling expressed repeatedly by the large crowd was powerlessness. Audience members keenly understood the urgency of the climate crisis, but as individuals, felt unable to do much.

The advice I gave that had the greatest impact on the audience was small: I talked about buying banned books, including books about science, and distributing them in Little Free Libraries throughout town. How to combat helplessness? Do what you can. Use what you have.

This week at the Climate Justice desk, we examine the effect that seemingly minor actions can have. First, in our Parables of Earth column, in a time of science denial and information erasure by the Trump administration, how can we persuade, make meaningful change, and have a climate record? By bearing witness ([link removed]) . Next, failing to consider the environment can erode retirement savings—and pension dollars can instead be mobilized to support ([link removed]) climate justice.

Currently, climate groups, along with many other nonprofits, are worried about the future, including the future of funding ([link removed]) , but we look at how small initiatives can actually make the most difference. Finally, for Earth Month 2025 ([link removed]) , NPQ presents a selection of stories we’ve published that honor the environment and explore sustainable ways to create a healthier planet.
