The biggest threat to our future is thinking that someone else will solve the climate crisis.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This year COCC and Bend LaPine Schools are partnering to unify our messages through the Worldwide Teach-In on Climate and Justice<\/a>, a global learning effort launched by Bard University. The Worldwide Teach-in\u00a0gets people talking about climate and justice solutions.\u00a0If we don’t talk about Climate Change, we won’t act to stop it<\/em><\/strong>. As educators, we can bring climate science to our students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students are excited for teachers and community leaders to step up and take action. Students from Bend High School and Caldera High School have formed Our Future clubs and recently participated in public testimony in support of SB 854 Climate Education bill. Many student have formed Green Teams at their schools with the help of teachers that volunteer their time for club meetings and actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, April 19th from 1:30 to 5:30, COCC is holding one of only two Climate Teach-ins in the Pacific Northwest. Several BLS teachers and their students are going to the event on the COCC campus. Follow this link<\/strong><\/a> for more information about speakers and live streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
