I keep telling climate denialists, "We don't need you to "believe" in global climate change. Not to worry, when the smart people solve the problem, you'll benefit too.

biden admin making strides on climate change and creating jobs. love to see it.

My niece is in college studying environmental restoration. This is just so cool.

Genuinely appreciate you sharing that. Cheers!

Sounds amazing, but its about 7 billion people short

Lead by example, gotta start somewhere, there must be a pony, etc.

Some of us are leading by example and we get made fun of or worse

I've literally been trying to get my foot in the door to help do something with them. Either I'm looking in the wrong place or it appears you can't be older than 27yrs old and if you are the qualifications are to strict

Yes im sure there are millions more than 9000 people. These things give us hope and i think that is the reason they happen, it lets everyone relax for 5 mins more

Where can I sign up or volunteer?!

Check their website. Lots of opportunities and growing fast, working with local orgs in every state.

Thank you #PresidentBiden

This is a nice answer to those who don't want to go to college (yet) but still want to serve, without enlisting.

Tearing down the old damn between Oregon and CA to restore the river flow. The salmon have arrived. The 15k acres in Monterey county return to indigenous peoples and they are gardening the forest. Hope this momentum continues!

This is wonderful

Biden & Co could win over lotta youthful voters if they started these wonderful workers at a livable wage Min wage in America should START at $25, anyone saying dif is a chattering grifter or ancient & cozily insulated $25 is the goddamm floor

Could be the last cohort too, if 45 retakes the Oval. /smh
