“I want to see a cleaner Charleston, a greener Charleston, and a more connected Charleston.”
That’s Quenton King with the Charleston, WV Green Team. He’s one of many West Virginians talking about their climate activities on the new People’s Climate Solutions website. The website offers an online searchable collection of climate stories and a podcast series featuring West Virginians from all walks of life implementing climate solutions to reduce greenhouse gases and to help move the state toward a cleaner, sustainable future.
Developed by community educators Sandra Fallon, from Morgantown, WV, and Frances Riemer from Sedona, Arizona, People’s Climate Solutions received initial funding from the Appalachian Stewardship Foundation.
According to Fallon, more climate work is happening in West Virginia than people may imagine. Everyone from civic and nonprofit groups, churches, businesses and governments to farmers, teachers and individuals are stepping up and finding ways to reduce heat-trapping gas emissions, save money and improve our public health.
People’s Climate Solutions offers a single place to read about, share and be inspired by West Virginians’ climate success stories.
People’s Climate Solutions wants to hear from everyone in the state who is working to curtail the climate crisis.
If you are making your business or establishment more energy efficient, your organization is going solar, or you’re finding new ways to farm sustainably or travel with less carbon output, please submit your stories to the website!
Video clips, photos, and story outlines can be uploaded at peoplesclimatesolutions.org/contact/. Submissions will be reviewed and potentially incorporated into print stories or podcasts to be posted on the site.
People’s Climate Solutions currently features podcasts about how the Hedgesville Public Library and West Virginia churches harness the sun’s energy to power their buildings. Why West Virginia science teachers are incorporating innovative projects to help students understand the climate crisis’ and engage in solutions. And the details behind Morgantown and Charleston’s citizen advisory “Green Teams” that help their communities save money with sustainable projects.
“Highlighting and sharing these stories”, says People’s Climate Solutions co-founder Frances Riemer, “can help people imagine possibilities for change.”
Help change the trajectory of the climate crisis! Join your fellow West Virginians and send your climate success stories to Peoples Climate Solutions at peoplesclimatesolutions.org/contact/.
